Nine Inch Nails releases

i can see that stuff not appealing to everyone as much as the proper NIN stuff. i feel like the new stuff will be suitably aggro and probably worth hearing, though.

I've never really been let down by this dude yet, so I've got nothing but high hopes.

what are they up to now, like halo twenty eight?

what do people think of the downward spiral singles? i saw a bunch used last week.

GRAB THEM THEY ARE GREAT

After this round of remixes things mostly go, er, downward remix wise

picked up closer and march of pigs

Cool, welcome back.

Ordered the EP; don't care about the vinyl stuff.

Ugh just take my money, Trent. The original Fragile LP is one of my prized pieces of wax and still gets a lot of play, Deviations will be a nice addition. Always loved the instrumentals from that and sooo many songs could do without the vocals.

Listening to the EP now. Not appreciably noisier than Hesitation Marks; kinda minimalist, in fact.

Only just heard about this!

Sounding more interesting than the accomplished but regressive Hesitation Marks.

New track. Very, very old-school NIN.

that song rules, wow

Trent's been listening to synthwave. Can't wait to pre-order another bag of dirt.

This is great! Also, I do not hear old-school NIN in this at all, unless we're calling With Teeth old-school now.

Bag of dirt pre-ordered. (I hope that's not what it is, but I'm certainly not expecting a CD or anything.)

xp I'll defer to you on that -- since I'm not well-versed in the genre I tend to judge on more superficial resemblances, and this reminds me of what I was hearing from NIN in the late 80s. It's probably just me. Anyway, this is the best new song I've heard from anyone in months.

ime it's sort of like if a with teeth song were playing behind a synth line from a yaz record

Yeah, it's very "what if we mashed up Only You with The Hand That Feeds"

Not bad.

Trent's been listening to synthwave.

not just listening, but watching the videos as well.
the bit at the start is very synthwave before it all kicks off.
i like it.
a lot.

isn't there an OPN video just like this

I haven't listened to a new NIN song since WITHA TEETHA but I gotta say, this is pretty good

With you on that. This is p good. Seems like he found his drum sound preset again, after years of having lost it (and this is a good thing)

I love it, very "The Hand That Feeds."

wait a second. there are nin fans who don't like the fragile?.

I like about three or four songs from it, but the rest is a slog.

This is great!

I definitely felt that way about The Fragile when it first came out (I was 13 and just wanted some freakin NOISE!!!) but after nearly 2 decades and a few dozen listens I think it's really great

Fragile Left is often my favorite NIN album.

Conversely, Fragile Right is my least-favorite.

serious question, I got off after With Teeth, are any of the other albums worth hearing

YES

Year Zero especially is the perfect soundtrack to American life in 2017.

year zero and hesitation marks are both v good records that i think only suffer from being a little too long

Fragile Left is often my favorite NIN album.

Conversely, Fragile Right is my least-favorite.

damn, otm

tbh this guy is pretty consistent in what he does. I wouldn't say any of his albums is significantly better or worse than the others

Downward Spiral still pretty easily his best work though IMO.

This new one has an excellent beat, but my tolerance for his breathy/nassal vocal style and dumb rhymes continues to want with time. Having said that, that harmonising part in the second pre-chorus is really cool.

Very good.

oh I like this

This is great.

always love to hear trent's higher register

I love the goopy bass sound on this, whatever's making that. I think it's a synth.

been chilling in the studio with alessandro cortini

Definitely a treat. Two for two here!

yea I like this one too, well done

is there a new LP coming after this er what?

He's doing 3 EPs, of which this is the second.

Another good one! Very promising, though I'd much rather see these songs paired on a 12 track album instead of ep's of varying quality.

The final track on this ep is 11 mins long.
