He’s doing two nights at Red Rocks here. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. I’m going to go try to get them, but I ain’t tryin’a wait in line for hours before they even go on sale.

Went over early to get in line for tickets, and the line was hundreds and hundreds of people long. There's a tweet from a couple of minutes ago where the person says "in line for 7 hours and just now got to the back of the building". I'm not sure what Trent was trying to do with this nonsense, but I'm really irritated by it.

this EP is probably my favorite of the 3.

can't help but feel like TR is doing some riff on Bowie's Berlin trilogy with these 3 EPs as way of paying tribute.

This rules. my train squeaked to a stop at a station just as Over and Out ended, and I couldn't tell what was synth or steel.

I was a little bothered that there wasn't much in the way of vocals; when there's NIN and TR/AR, the instrumental NIN tracks can feel a little redundant, but I realised that Trent's vocals are usually just another instrument anyway, especially these days.

Good to have him here with us.

Yeah, this is easily the best of the EPs. If you grabbed the best 10 or 11 songs from all 3 EPs it would easily be his third or fourth best album.

Yep, agreeing at with how cool this is. It really has it's own sound, which is nice. I made a playlist of 12 songs from the 3 eps and I really do like it a lot as one album.

yeah, i don't necessarily think the songwriting/melody stuff is as strong as like, the fragile & earlier (or even WT and YZ tbh) but the general direction is great and they seem to be moving out of what has felt a bit like a rut lately.

i think he wrung a lot out of older tech. TDS had some fantastic Phil Spector wall of sound and, like, Fixed had stuff that definitely sounded ahead of its time and a reference to the older, less poppy 80's industrial-and though the vocals were cringe-inducing on the fragile he did good melodies and a great MBV impression.

i wouldn't call him a wizard until he can put his own vocals further back into the mix and not just as atmosphere for his normal vocals
