With a lot of tracks I end up hearing, I tend to fall into the trap of categorizing the song into parts I like and parts I didn't. I think a lot of us do that most of the time when we're listening to music; we'll say things like "the bass on that is dope" or "I like the second drop better" and so on.But the interesting thing about a lot of TST tracks lately is that it's very hard to separate them into different fields of positive and negative; you just kind of end up listening to the song through and then make-up your mind as a whole at the end. I'm not sure whether it's because of the collaborative nature or the ambient feel that most of their recent stuff has held; but their songs flow in a way that's quite hard to put your finger on.
On this track "Insanity" this is especially the case; sweeping pads and lush vocals fill up your headphones with sonic audio-porn until you're sort of left speechless and just sit back to take it all in. When I've shown this track to friends in the car or on my ipod they've had basically the same reaction; a glazed look over their eyes, and when it's over they try a few times to describe what the track sounded like to them before simply giving up and saying something in the vein of "it's trill man..." or "that was pretty dope dude..."
