I'm loving this score, especially the weird little vocal tics and sounds that are interspersed.
Agreed. Also reading "non-spoiler" reviews of the film while listening and I'm honestly nervous to see it. The Ringer article paints it that it will emotionally wreck you and has some shocking scenes...i am way to fragile with movies like this lol . Not sure I will recover enough to be able to enjoy the score post-viewing (once I see it) if it truly his this intense as described without revisiting the images that correspond with it.
The FLAC download is 666 MB. Pure coincidence, of course, but still...
I can smell another Oscar coming. The OST is terrific.
I’m reluctantly going to hold off buying or listening to this until my bird box turns up because I don’t want to diminish my enjoyment if that in any way
random, but is this on any streaming platforms?
So much of this score is just achingly beautiful!
this is some of the most beautiful and unsettling music TR+AR have made. i absolutely love it. have only listened once but can't wait to listen again.
DREAM WAVES
has anyone else noticed that several of the MP3s (downloaded directly from the nin.com links) continue past their running time without showing any further time elapsed or remaining? "everything burns" does it, along with a few others. very strange!
Are we sure that Everything Burns is supposed to end so abruptly? The quick conclusion and transition to the next track feels like such a cock-block...
FYI, for anyone else who is dying to see Waves like me, it opens in wide release next Friday, Dec. 6th.
I love this writer/director's previous films (Krisha, It Comes At Night), so that coupled with Trenticus (not to mention the great reviews and Sterling K. Brown) has me salivating.
I'm reluctantly holding off on listening to the score (which of course isn't so bad with newest Watchmen volume recently released), but everyone's comments here have me VERY excited (and anxious!) to finally hear it.

Glad these abrupt endings are intentional. I was getting ready to post asking the same thing.
I LOVE the first track, just wish it were longer!
Everything Burns (the only track I've listened to so far) reminds me a lot of the Blade Runner 2049 OST.
So much so that I cut over to the BE2049 OST once Everything Burns cut out. (I was snoozing on a plane)
haha what's going on there, is that from some kind of "BR experience" event?
A few years ago I narrowly missed out on this and was pretty upset https://www.secretcinema.org/previou...s/blade-runner
Yeah, since I live in Los Angeles, there were 4 or 5 different Blade Runner themed events going on throughout the month. My girlfriend and I decided it would be fun to go as Roy and Pris for Halloween and then wear our costumes to the other events as well. I won't spam a bunch of photos here, but you can check out instagram.com/toadflax for more of our replicantics.
This is the absolute opposite of Watchmen, which I’m loving. Two extremely different releases that are both recognizable as the work of the same people
And also, while all of Trent’s releases are sequenced to flow, this one almost feels like it’s all one track. it’s not different songs cleverly transitioning as much as one sound evolving (or harshly cutting)
Was just thinking this myself..
If you had told me in 1999 that in 20 years time, we'd have an alternate-universe NIN where Trent (and Atticus) were making epic film scores seemingly in their sleep that mirrored the grand artistic statements of TDS, The Fragile and Year Zero of their day job, I'd have laughed myself silly..
What other musician is releasing such radically different instrumental work in the vein of Vietnam War, Watchmen, Bird Box and Waves in as little as two years' time. I haven't felt this way since discovering Aphex Twin's stuff in '95-'96..
