I mean really if you want to do it differently by all means get up there and give it a go yourself. Otherwise why not focus on soemthing constructive???
Exactly! If you don't agree with the show recaps, go post your own review of the show.

Or if you just think it's fundamentally improper to discuss contemporary Phish rationally, with historical perspective, and express personal preferences within the context of the different sorts of peformances Phish has made in the past (immediate, recent, and long-term), then perhaps you shouldn't spend time on a website BROUGHT TO YOU BY DOZENS OF FAN/VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT PHISH LIKE THIS FOR 10-20 YEARS AND BUILT THE SITE TO FACILITATE THIS.

Or is it actually that you think it's fine to express personal opinions about Phish, as long as they happen to be your own?

All of the extremist posts arguing against any contextural discussion about Phish, like yours, seem to boil down to: "Stop analyzing Phish. Phish is great right now."

If you want to provide reviews/analysis that demonstrates why you think Phish is great, I encourage you to do so. If you want to simultaneously argue that we shouldn't even analyize it, and that by the way your own analysis has conclusively determined that the band is great right now, I encourage you to find a forum that is intolerant to dissenting views and where groupthink (to your liking, of course) prevails.

If you don't like it, don't go... to a website dedicated to gathering facts about Phish and discussing them.
