'Joy' sounds like Phish are thrilled to have a second chance and feel no pressure to do anything but make music on their own terms. They sound more focused than on any of their ten previous studio offerings.

Being Phish's 11th studio effort, 'Joy' is actually the group's first "non live" outing in five years - a reunion album of sorts.

'Joy' was produced by Steve Lillywhite, who also helmed 1996's 'Billy Breathes'. He's familiar enough with Phish to be able to get inside their sound, and to try to challenge their preconceptions without tinkering too much with the process of creation. In the end, 'Joy' sounds like Phish are thrilled to have a second chance and feel no pressure to do anything but make music on their own terms. They sound more focused than on any of their ten previous studio offerings. So, as reunion sets go, this one is a winner.

Personnel: Trey Anastasio (vocals, guitar); Page McConnell (vocals, keyboards); Jon Fishman (vocals, drums); Mike Gordon (vocals).

"What's most impressive here is how much they seem to be enjoying themselves - truly, deeply, gratefully. It's nice to have them back."
