You love the Tahoe tweezer but this Jim you can't get behind? It truly is one of the greatest risks in phishtory. It's thrilling, scary and as Trey says it "was like they were playing in his living room".

Gosh, and people say *I'M* obsessed with the Tahoe Tweezer...

Here's the thing - it's great that they took that risk and all of that, but how much of a cookie do I need to give the band if (***in my opinion***) the risk that they took wasn't all that listenable to my ears? I'll put it to you like this - if the Worcester Jim was the same length as the Tahoe Tweezer, then I'd love it much more. But it isn't, and the part of the jam that I do not find much musical value in drags down how much I enjoy it.

The Mud Island Tweezer takes the exact same risk, and to my ears, it's *far* more successful than the Worcester Jim is; it essentially coalesces all the experiments of the previous big Tweezers into a full *statement*, the way that all the experiments scientists conduct leads to an actual thesis/product/whatever else. Your mileage may vary, as always.

It's been a while, maybe 8-12 months, since I've spun the mud island tweezer or the Worcester Jim. I really like them both, but I am far more captivated by the Jim. That baby covers a lot of ground, and when they hit some of those heavy big time rock riffs, man, it's just the bee's knees.

In conclusion, I am going to make it a point to listen to both of those this week.
