Nine Inch Nails (abbreviated as NIN, sometimes stylized as NI&#1048 is an American industrial rock project, founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor in Cleveland, Ohio. As its main producer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist, Reznor is the only official member of Nine Inch Nails and remains solely responsible for its direction.

On May 28, 2013, Trent Reznor had this to say:

I’ve been less than honest about what I’ve really been up to lately. For the last year I’ve been secretly working non-stop with Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder on a new, full-length Nine Inch Nails record, which I am happy to say is finished and frankly fucking great. This is the real impetus and motivation behind the decision to assemble a new band and tour again. My forays into film, HTDA and other projects really stimulated me creatively and I decided to focus that energy on taking Nine Inch Nails to a new place. Here we go!

[kitchenmotors]

Perched for the album and the first stop on the tour in St. Paul.

 

[strobogo]

Everything is the weirdest song I think they've ever put out. It's like a terrible B-side to a one hit wonder New Wave band.

 

[TheOddOne]

All hail based Sai-kun.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Whoaaa how did you do those backwards N's bro??

 

[Plasticine]

I'm so ready for this album.

 

[wenis]

Nice, they've released a butt load of singles for this album.

It's cool Trent, you don't need to convince me to buy your shit anymore, I'll just buy it straight up.

 

[kitchenmotors]

Whoaaa how did you do those backwards N's bro??

Downward spiral font.

[JordanLMiller]

Aw yeah!

 

[Jarnet87]

I kind of like" Everything". It's something different and not expected but It's far from the worst tracks Trent has done IMO.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Cautiously optimistic.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

"Copy of A" is awesome, the other two are meh to me. Kind of in shock that "Came Back Haunted" is their first single, to be honest.

 

[Freyjadour]

Cautiously optimistic.

name of the game

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Cautiously optimistic.

Only way to describe it. Bring it, September 3rd.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

It's that close...wow, can't wait.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Looking forward to this

 

[strobogo]

I'm not very impressed with the new songs, but I'm more interested in the live show. But they aren't coming to Indy, so I don't think I'll be seeing them, sadly.

 

[TheMan]

good job with the OT

 

[zedge]

Beautiful op! Bought the digital copy from Nin.com. Copy of A is my fav of the three songs released so far, but I do enjoy all of them. Can't wait for full album.

Hope to catch their show in Calgary this year, missed last time.

 

[GhaleonEB]

The last NIN album I bought was The Downward Spiral; I've been reconnecting with music I drifted away from when I was younger. Might pick this up, the two singles were decent.

 

[Kinyou]

7. Everything - 3:20

Youtube comment:

This is the perfect soundtrack for cruising in your convertible while drinking smoothies en route to pilates class. Can't wait to hear it&#65279; on Glee.

Not really liking it either :/

 

[Toddler]

Sucks I have to suffer Voo Doo Fest to see them live.

Play Everything for the youngins and see if they like it :lol

Cool to see you posting here, didn't know you liked NIN at all :] I'll be updating the OP when tracks get posted onto YouTube, so keep an eye on there to see if you like the rest of the album!



Seriously though. 10 days and it hasn't leaked? Damn, Columbia.

 

[batteryLeakage]

I like everything I've heard from this album so far. Yes, including Everything.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

I have a feeling the super fake poppy veneer of Everything is just a ploy he's using to fuck with us. On the album I bet you it's going to fit a theme of fabricated happiness and it will all come crashing down on the "protag".

You've been missing out on some good music. Every album Trent has put out has had something great on it. "The Fragile" was my personal favorite.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Weirdly enough, Year Zero is possibly my favorite NIN album (The Fragile is close). Love it's concept and it's powerful experimental sound. So far, the released songs of this album sound a bit "milder" and more straight forward, but there seems to be a lot of diversity between them; possibly a flashback to different times/emotions throughout his career? Complete speculation, but fun to think about.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

I have a feeling the super fake poppy veneer of Everything is just a ploy he's using to fuck with us. On the album I bet you it's going to fit a theme of fabricated happiness and it will all come crashing down on the "protag".

This is what I reckon, too.

 

[TheWrathOfSean]

I have a feeling the super fake poppy veneer of Everything is just a ploy he's using to fuck with us. On the album I bet you it's going to fit a theme of fabricated happiness and it will all come crashing down on the "protag".

I hope it's not another theme album. I mean that in the Year Zero sense and not the Downward Spiral sense.

 

[Plasticine]

I have a feeling the super fake poppy veneer of Everything is just a ploy he's using to fuck with us. On the album I bet you it's going to fit a theme of fabricated happiness and it will all come crashing down on the "protag".

I hope its sandwiched between a depressing, wrist-slitting song and an extremely noisy industrial track.

 

[Ronabo]

I'm amazed it hasn't leaked yet.

 

[Mr.Swag]

I've only listened to downward spiral, and I like practically every song in there.
Which NIN should I listen to next?
Anything to avoid?

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Can't wait... I didn't think we would get another NIN album so soon. This is probably my most anticipated album this year. I'll be making the trek from Chicago to St. Louis to see them. Let's hope it is as amazing as the Lights in the Sky tour.

 

[cubicle47b]

I absolutely love Copy of A but the other songs are just okay which is par for the course. The last Nine Inch Nails I really loved was And All That Could Have Been / Still. His soundtrack work has been brilliant, though.

 

[Duji]

The Fragile is great

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

I'd say try The Fragile next. It is not quite as fast paced or brutal but is more layered and deep (musically anyway). If you want something more immediate/high energy then go with Year Zero or the Broken EP.

 

[Plasticine]

I've only listened to downward spiral, and I like practically every song in there.

It depends, really. Did you like the guitar heavy tracks the most? Check out Broken.
Were you into the more electronic and poppy stuff? Go with Pretty Hate Machine.
Did you dig the noisy and weird material? The Fragile would be a good way to go.

Every NIN record is different. They each offer something unique that can't really be found elsewhere in the discography.

 

[Dereck]

Will Trent ever make another album like Ghosts, or was that just a one time thing?

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

I have a feeling the super fake poppy veneer of Everything is just a ploy he's using to fuck with us. On the album I bet you it's going to fit a theme of fabricated happiness and it will all come crashing down on the "protag".

Or maybe, and here's a shock, he just wanted to try something a bit different? He's obviously, at least to some degree, found some happiness and contentment in his life, and it's being reflected in his music.

 

[Ronabo]

Will Trent ever make another album like Ghosts, or was that just a one time thing?

His two movie scores are as close you can get. Doubt we'll see anything like Ghosts again.

 

[Mr.Swag]

Think ill get Pretty Hate Machine next. I remember that poppin up on pandora and liking what I heard

Trent Reznor is great

 

[BakedPigeon]

Why don't I like everything? Song just rubs me the wrong way I guess.

 

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

[Plasticine]

"Everything" is an absolutely brutal song.

Spoiler

I still love this song

 

[strobogo]

Robin didn't do any playing on the album?


Pino Palladino is pretty boss. The Who and NIN?

 

[Plasticine]

Robin joined during tour rehearsals.

 

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

I'm actually curious about the Autolux Remix of "Everything."

 

[-Mikey-]

I've yet to really listen to some of the singles. It's Trent Reznor....why question it...just buy it.

EDIT: Does the vinyl come with the remix tracks? Hoping so!

 

[Dead Man]

As ever, some of what I have heard is not what I expected, some is. Still very keen to hear the whole thing.

 

[Dereck]

His two movie scores are as close you can get. Doubt we'll see anything like Ghosts again.
