"Like the whole thing but especially like the bonus track of the original solo acoustic demo. Shows treys classical acoustic skills. Also I really felt like time turns elastic was the most complicated multi movement composition trey has done since fluffhead. When I saw it at Fenway in 2009 I felt it was so much like a fluffhead type song to me. Just so many chord changes it's tough to know what's coming next sometimes-in a good way. "

"I've loved this song since the first time I heard it (which was actually the Joy version). However, this version is the way the song was intended to be listened to and I sincerely hope that you will take the time to sit down and just listen. Free yourself from distractions and just listen. It's hard to say what I love more, the music or the lyrics, so I will just say that they compliment each other equally. This is an amazing accomplishment and I think knowing vaguely what Trey was going through when he wrote it only strengthens the song's message. I see it as a triumphant celebration of life: not just human life, but all life (which makes me think that he had a moment of transcendence during his unfortunate drug problem era and came out of that with a completely new view and appreciation for his reality). Every time I've listened it has never failed to make well up with emotion. It has truly enlightened my own life and given me a new way to look at this universe, it's frustrating mysteries, and it's often unnoticed or overlooked beauties. In many ways, the lyrics of this song remind me of ideals taken from Eastern philosophies such as Buddhism. As far as the music is concerned, you can hear the elements of nature in the arrangements, from the sounds of birds fluttering in the air, the blossoming of flowers, the rushing of water, and all the other things the song mentions. It swells at the right moments and gently recedes into calm, delicate elegance. It even becomes somewhat fierce, reflecting the unforgiving and destructive forces of nature as the sculpting hands of change. I also can't help but remember a part of Trey's induction speech for Genesis, where he talked about how their music painted pictures in his head. TTE is one gorgeous portrait. I've always admired Phish and Trey as artists, but TTE brings that appreciation to a whole new level. It's completely different from what they have previously done, its bold, its adventurous, its mature, and it is a work of art. I hope you all can hear this song one day the way I hear it. Thank you for reading."

"this piece of music is indeed interesting. having appreciated so much trey anastasio's music over the last fifteen years i yet must admit to be wholly disappointed by the arrangement of mr. hart: i sincerely feel that his work is way too much canonical, and always sounds as the soundtrack of a movie, proposing again and again standard solutions. i would suggest mr. anastasio to find another arranger, since mr. hart, even though may be very professional and competent in his matters (viz. movie soundtracks), is not at all fit to the unusual intricated harmonic patterns that characterize mr. anastasio's compositions."

"I bought this a few weeks ago. It is, musically, incredible, and like some posters have already said, should be acknowledged more. The music is refreshing, and not in any way sluggish or boring. It's a peaceful and delicate work in a time which more and more people (especially in the mainstream) are drawn to dumbed-down, disposable music that always has an ephemeral life span. This is an album to hang onto and enjoy for many years. If there is one minor drawback with the album, it is Trey's intermittent vocals on a couple of songs near the beginning. I just like it when Trey sings like he's talking almost (think 'Julius' or 'Lifeboy', etc.). When he does the crooning stuff, some of it is okay, but it usually doesn't grab me like the aforementioned early Phish tunes. But this is a minor quibble. Listen to this and let it take you on a trip... "

"Just got the clear vinyl in the mail yesterday. Listened thru the whole thing right when i got back from work. Simply amazing. I first heard this song from Phish's 2009 tour, and completely fell in love with it, so hearing it in the first orchestral form was quite pleasant. Love the full acoustic version also. I am very glad I got this album, and side A is a great section to drift into sleep with. I still favor the Phish band version because its energy is amazing, but boy oh boy, this is a fine album. Thanks again Trey..."
