Waves (Phish Song)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Round Room is the ninth official studio album by the American rock band Phish, released on December 10, 2002 by Elektra Records. The album was recorded and released in the lead up to Phish's reunion concert on New Year's Eve 2002 at Madison Square Garden, which marked the end of the band's two-and-a-half year hiatus.As with previous Phish albums, the songs originated in collaborative writing sessions between frontman Trey Anastasio and lyricist Tom Marshall (with two songs contributed by bassist Mike Gordon). Round Room is unique, however, in that the final tracks were culled from the band's unedited rehearsal sessions at The Barn, Anastasio's studio in Vermont. Rolling Stone notes that this approach gives the album a "decidedly live" feeling, and "breathes with an anxious, edge-of-the-seat intensity that's missing from their previous studio efforts." Though largely positive, the review criticizes Anastasio's singing and the "Phishspeak" quality of the lyrics.Phish appeared on TV twice before their official return to the stage on New Year's Eve 2002. "46 Days" was debuted live on the December 14, 2002 episode of Saturday Night Live, and "All of These Dreams" debuted five days later
