Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Although Page McConnell didn't write many songs during his nearly 20-year tenure with Phish, his first solo album showcases nine Page-penned, unflinchingly personal tunes that document his post-Phish struggles and recent divorce. It's a toss-up which event was more painful, but it's his efforts to fashion a new paradigm for both his music and his love life that provide this disc with its dramatic tension and disarming fragility. While "Runaway Bride," and "Beauty of a Broken Heart" are like scars that still fester, "Maid Marian," a romantic "note to self" about what to avoid next time love comes calling, seems to reveal more about McConnell's state of mind, and is stronger because of it. A much funkier album than his two Vida Blue efforts, with more sophisticated vocals, McConnell no longer seems so determined to distance himself from his high profile past. He not only invites former band mates Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon, and Jon Fishman to guest, he allows himself the freedom jam as in days of yore. Having said that, these jams are more reminiscent of the Allman Brothers Band's anxious jazz interludes than the mind-altering science experiments that Phish was known for. --Jaan Uhelszki

3.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable , April 20, 2007
By The Delite Rancher (Phoenix, Arizona) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Page McConnell's new album is what you'd expect. The song writing is mediocre while the improvisation is strong. Most songs sound like they could have been penned during the Vida Blue era or the last five years of Phish. In other words, there is no 'Cars Trucks Buses' or even a 'Most Events Aren't Planned.' The album follows McConnell's usual style of rock with flavors of funk and psychedelia. The use of electronic drum beats may be the unexpected dynamic. The issue with "Page McConnell" is that it is a solo album by a great accompanying musician. There's nothing wrong with the disc, it's simply that there are no significant stand-outs. "Page McConnell" is an enjoyable listen that probably won't get heavy rotation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best solo former Phish effort, August 14, 2008
By James D Kirk Jr (Culloden,, WV United States) - See all my reviews
I think that this is the best album from the former Phish members. The songwriting is way better than most of Phish's stuff. The singing is better. The songs tighter.

I appreciate that this is not just an effort to do Phish as a solo artist but is a different style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasticly Fantastical, July 22, 2007
By A. Sargent (Maryland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Page's latest album is just a joy to listen to. Though a bit of a departure from his Phish days, there are still plenty of familiar riffs and licks from days gone by. Presumably because he had some help from his Phish friends. There are moments of brief electronica throughout the album and usually I would be turned off by these, but somehow they work well. Buy it, play it, love it. Long live Page!
