Crimes of the Mind is a loopy, stoned excursion that winds through
Dead-style rock and hippie folk-rock as interpreted by
the Dude of Life. Throughout the record,
the Dude is supported by his longtime friends
Phish, who make the record somewhat interesting. While
the Dude's vocals and lyrics are certainly an acquired taste, most
Phish fans will appreciate the band's relaxed, sympathetic playing, which casually demonstrates their virtuosity. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
