i know what you mean, but optimism is my middle name.
I don't have any assumptions about when new material will be released. Almost everyone on here was convinced that there would be no new music before the end of 2016, and yet we ended up with a new EP. Trent & Atticus release music when they're ready.
At this point, unfortunately, it's doubtful we will get WITT live again. Trent's voice just can't handle the chorus anymore. I'll never forget reading about the one soundcheck where people wanted him to play it and he mentioned that he can't sing it anymore but if someone wanted to come up and sing it they would play it. That lucky sob that got to do that... fucking get on stage during the sound check and sing with the band...
But yeah, I think we would all love some more Fragile-heavy setlists, especially songs they haven't done before or are rare/haven't been played since Fragility.
There might be, it was a while ago (I think it was the Wave Goodbye Australia, or maybe NIN|JA?) that would be a good question for @ninlive perhaps.
I agree, and with Robin still there, he could always cover the higher parts of songs (like Happiness in Slavery's "SLAVE SCREAMS"). I would really love to see Trent utilize Robin's very specific voice and range for certain songs.
Branches/Bones better open the fucking festivals
Agreed. I think opening the shows with the full EP straight through works much better than interspersing the songs throughout, or playing the EP straight through later on. And it will piss off casual/non-fans, which will be great.
Thanks a lot for this. I had been asking in one of the other threads with no luck, and I pretty much facepalmed myself when I finally looked in here. Now to make my Ultimate Things Falling Apart Mix. I have just done a complete The Fragile (Vinyl/cd/tape combo) (Nobody ever thought of that before!), and I got really into the idea of a double disc companion for it. So thanks again.

How does it feel ?
I think it would be sweet to hear "In Motion" as the opening before going into "Branches/Bones," but I'm an old fart.
Just Like You Imagined is fucking beautiful
Ghosts is fucking dope as hell to listen to while routing truck deliveries at work.
Listened to PHM, Broken, TDS, TF, Still, WT, YZ, TS, HM, and NTAE while on a 12? hour car ride. Gained a large amount of appreciation for some Fragile tracks I hadn't really given attention to in the past. We're In This Together is my favorite song. Ever. It got confirmed on the ride. TDS isn't nearly as effective when played in the car, but Year Zero goes well with stormy weather. With Teeth is the most fun probably, along with PHM and Broken to listen in the car. Hesitation Marks sounds much better than it has in the past. The Slip seems sooo short for some reason. NTAE is like TDS in that it can't be listened to in a car and have the same effect.

Breaking my head about fist fucking being mentioned in a song.
I was on holiday for 3 weeks and wasn't online much, did I miss anything aside from Atticus doing Death Note
Sudden realization... the arpeggiated synth that runs through and ends Alessandro's remix of The Great Destroyer is almost the same as the one that kicks off his Sonoio song Enough; it's even in the same key and has a similar tempo. A smooooooth transition can be made between the two.
