Nine Inch Nails releases

i listened to with teeth today. wildly underrated imo

in-fucking-deed. But all their noughties and post output has been adding up to a very compelling body of work.

Bands I'd say were influenced by NIN included Filter, Stabbing Westward, Marilyn Manson (obv) ... but more overtly I think a lot of bands were clearly *influenced* by NIN even if they didn't sound like them, and that included such veterans and Reznor influences themselves as Bowie and Depeche Mode

This is true, and I'd also add the Dos Dedos PWEI to that list. I've always loved how all these bands/artists had already influenced Reznor in the first place. So there was a degree of feedback between them.

One of my favorite things about Reznor is how he literally listed his influences in the "Pretty Hate Machine" sleeve.

To be honest, I don't think Reznor has ever really released a dud. If anything, his body of work has been very consistent, very good overall but perhaps a bit too samey.

Ghosts was pretty boring.

I've said this before but I strongly prefer 21st century NIN over 20th century NIN. I don't love all of it (I'm lukewarm on With Teeth and actively dislike Year Zero) but The Slip and Hesitation Marks are great albums, and the three recent EPs are all great and show him really stretching in (somewhat) surprising ways. He's still a terrible try-hard as a lyricist - you can predict his rhymes with 95% accuracy - but the music itself keeps getting better IMO.

I never heard the side project with his wife.

it's really good, you should! i like it more than the slip or with teeth, certainly.

Yeah, those records are pretty good. A little weirder/more abstract than NIN, less focus on big singalong choruses and more strange distorted noises.

bad witch is such an awesome little record

Yeah, it's not a rehash of anything he's ever done, either. I hope he continues in that direction.

i listened to not the actual events, add violence, and bad witch in order tonight, and wow, that might be reznor’s best work

jesus christ hesitation marks is really fuckin good

im working on a very funky remix of 'all the love in the world' rn

hell yeah

i liked hesitation marks at the time but i don't think i realized the second half of it is all back-to-back amazing songs? "various methods of escape" and "i would for you" especially

i've even seen "find a way" *twice* in concert and i'm kicking my own ass for not realizing how BEAUTIFUL it is

Satellite is my jam on that one

Yeah Satellite is the highlight.

Ghosts was pretty boring.

i disagree! it's not what i wanted from a nin instrumental record (that's still still) but if you treat it as a series of briefly gorgeous sketches spliced with even briefer instances of more industrial/perverse stuff and also listen to it while partially-distracted at work it really comes into its own imo

challopsy nin ranking ahoy including remix albums, i like all of them though, even things falling apart:

fixed
not the actual events / add violence / bad witch
pretty hate machine
hesitation marks
further down the spiral
the fragile / still
with teeth
the downward spiral
closer to god
ghosts i-iv / the slip
year zero
things falling apart

lmao i forgot broken. put it above year zero, it's a great record but i prefer listening to fixed by a lot (and generally prefer listening to a mentally healthier trent reznor than the guy that appears on broken)

what of Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D?!

oh whoops, some of the versions on that i like better than their year zero counterparts (ladytron) but it would also be hanging out at the bottom of the list

The Fennesz remix of In This Twilight is all time and I wish they'd collaborate on an album.

Should've ranked releases using their Halo numbers to make sure nothing's missed. I like the Soft Cell cover on Halo 9.

The “Get Down, Make Love” cover on the Sin single and attached to the re-release of Pretty Hate Machine fucking rips.

I like the Soft Cell cover on Halo 9.

on the strength of "memorabilia" and "metal" trent should've put out a covers record already

You could almost make your own, adding Get Down Make Love, Physical, Lost Souls, Crystal Japan, the stuff he did with Peter Murphy and TV on the Radio...

disco trent

It's kinda annoying that there is no way to get hold of the Fragile Deviations 1 digitally without buying a $80 vinyl version.

on the other hand, trent reznor is very aware of torrents, etc. and priced the only release at $80

what would trent do?

you have my blessing

yo davey i love that remix, could i get a mp3 of it

thanks. i'll share a d/l link after i finish just a little more work on it, sometime next week. glad u like it :)

omg yay

gone already !?

https://soundcloud.com/808mixtapes/all-the-love-in-the-world-daveys-remix/s-NQTty

sorry about that. i guess only i could see the link that doesn’t have all the gibberish at the end of it. hopefully this one works

(same link as before, just replaced the file)

god this is still so great

I need a whole album of disco trent please!!

i only have one other a capella to work with unfortunately: the beginning of the end. that’s work in progress but it’s in more of an ebm/industrial vein

wonder if the instrumental release of the fragile is close enough to the one with vocals to extract out the vocal track

I might be able to get the vocal stems from Year Zero, I think I have that disc floating around somewhere

i will check out the fragile. some instrumental releases are subtly timestretched to make center channel cancellation fail.

Simon, if u can find stems, i'd love to have them. just email me; my address is in my profile. thanks y'all!

It won’t be perfect, but I’ve had good results using this AI tool which creates stems from existing audio

davey, you got mail!

wau! thank u simon. idk if i'm gonna be able to make more disco trent very soon—kinda want to work on some more original stuff—but receiving all these trent vocals puts a glimmer in my eye.

<3
