Nothing beats this Phish album. The awesome rift in wolfmans brother as well as Julius, sample in a jar, and down with disease makes thus album one of a kind. Brass sections make thus album unique as well. A must have

From start to finish, this is still one of my favorite party, get-moving albums.

one of my favorite phish albums of all time. vintage 1994 phish in their prime with classic hits such as Julius, Down with Disiese and Sample in a jar. Treys guitar rifts along with Mike Gordons bass lines connect to lead one of the greatest jam bands ever assembled.
Great

First cd I owned of Phish. Was really easy entry point into their sound for me. Has nice country/rock sound and is great for road trips.
Can't believe there's only 4 reviews....

Hoist is not my favorite Phish album, but that's besides the point. This band is about so much more than studio albums - although I do love almost all of them. The band is about live shows, and if you want an intro to Phish, A Live One is probably the best sampling. Regarding this album, it is full of "rock hits" (what they were going for, per The Phish Biography). If you haven't heard any Phish before, I think Billy Breathes might be the best album option, but once you get into things, Hoist is a must-have. Listen to Julius, Down with Disease, Sample in a Jar, and Wolfman's Brother for the most accessible entry.

Dismal Rift? You guys are crazy. Why don't you write a full review of Rift and tell us all why it's so dismal?
Hoist is Phish's big band country album. Full brass section and a number of tracks with "twang." Either way it's good.
