I think you have a good point there, Vinnie. It seems to me that Peter has always preferred playing with people he felt comfortable with rather than more exceptional players who might challange him musically - players who might have pushed him to an even higher level, but might have pushed him places he didn't want to go. And these days in particular, I doubt that would be such a good idea.
I haven't yet listened to the whole show, but "Albatross" and "The Stumble" seem to work better than some of the other numbers since the focus is so much on Peter's playing on those two tracks, and he does a nice job with them. I have to agree that the vocals are not a strong point in this show.
