Rick Turner, may he rest in peace, posted an absolutely vitriolic comment about it in a forum. It really stuck in his craw.

      Too much fucking perspective. If you need 15 knobs on a bass, you don't need a bass, you need lessons. Phil Lesh is a great player but instead of trying to write every song all at once and do every variation of every chord in existence, maybe just make a choice and commit, and write us a song.
