Great music wrapped around bad inane songs Aug 01, 2009 This CD has 13 tracks, is almost 70 minutes long and has excellent sound quality. My copy came in a cardboard digipack. Unlike most digipacks, the tabs that hold the CD have not broken off yet.
Every track starts out wonderfully, with beautiful, energetic music. But, most revert into some bad, inane song. Many of the songs have the same format. About 1 minute of great intro music, 1 and a half minutes of horrible lyrics and mediocre singing with mostly repeated lyrics, and then about 2 to 4 minutes of great music.
You start listening to this CD and it starts out great. But, then the first song is pretty bad after the first minute. So, you skip to the next track and think this is great. But, then it goes into more bad singing. Then, songs 3 and 4 are actually fairly good throughout. But then the rest of the songs fall into the same format of great start, inane singing, great ending.
With editing software, I will cut out the parts I don't like and will end up with a great CD that is about 30 minutes long. (Hey, I bought the CD, I can do anything I want with it, but post it for others to get for free). I would give my new edited CD 5 stars.
Shine plus Phish Nov 05, 2007 This album could be a new Phish album. And that piss me off. Why they are not toguether anymore? Anyway, in "Shine" Trey was really simple but cool. In "bar 17" Trey is more complex but more free. It's kind of weird if you listen to it carefully. Trey is trying the things he already knew with Phish and the things he learned in his old solo albums. What I'm saying, "bar 17" is "Shine" plus any phish album in a blender. The result: something new that sounds like something we already heard. But cool enough to worth to listen. Great album. but I insist , if Trey is going to record more albums like this, he should please think about coming back to Phish. I know he miss it.
Excellent Work of Music Aug 14, 2007 What kills me about other people's opinion of Trey Anastasio is that everyone expects PHISH. PHISH were a good band, however, I think that Trey's music is more straight forward and less complex than most PHISH songs. If your looking for PHISH, then buy a PHISH CD. If your looking for Trey Anastasio, then buy this CD.
Personally, I enjoy every song on this recording. It has everything in it. A little bit of Jazz, and a mixture of styles of music. It's a great companion on my MP3 player ,and it should be on yours as well. Listen to this CD from start to finish. You won't be dissapointed.
Very scattered- Jul 18, 2007 Some over the top bad songs. What is the bike song all about? Syd Barrett was cool, and wrote a weird song about a bike. Trey's song about a bike sucks. There are some great moments on this disc, and as always w/ Trey the musicians on the album are top-notch. The downside is, its almost painful waiting to get to them.
I enjoyed most of his first album, and parts of Shine. This is easily his 3rd best solo album... Comparing it to Outside In by Mike Gordon, the album really has no flow. Be nice to see Phish get back together, but I'm afraid it would sound an awful lot like this, and that would be very depressing.

This album rocks!! Apr 28, 2007 Why is this loser still making music, man? This album sounds like an asexual James Taylor/Collective Soul hybrid whining about how bad life is being fed with a silver spoon. Vermont is cool.
