Oh my god I'm so glad now that I turned down the tickets to see the new tour. I love NIN live but if this is the bullshit to expect...haha...no thanks, I'm OK.

 

[GhaleonEB]

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!

I don't listen to a ton of music these days, I tend to have a handful of groups or artists I follow closely. I was really into NIN when I was in high school and shortly thereafter, but drifted into other music after. Lately I've been circling back and finding I appreciate things on a different level now as an adult (Tool is a recent example, probably my favorite group). I'll pick up this latest and then maybe work back through the catalog I missed.

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.

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[J-Rock]

So I just listened to "Everything". It doesn't sound like a new Nine Inch Nails song. It sounds like a new Option 30 song. My interest in this album is fading. God damn it.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

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.

Relax dude, it's extremely possible that it is both. He's using typeface and art in the style of TDS, so perhaps we're seeing the narrative continue. Everything is a drastic change in sound and I can easily see how Trent could work such an overtly cheerful song into the swing of things. I don't think I'm jumping too far out of the realm of possibility here.

 

[Reneledarker]

They are playing on my birthday on LA, and I do not have money to renovate my visa, my life sucks...

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Awesome. Release date snuck up on me.

 

[mcfrank]

Tickets to KC, DC, and LA purchased. Will probably go to one of the Vegas shows with a friend as well. I am pumped.

 

[Kano on the Phone]

Appropriate since I'm definitely "hesitating" to buy this based off the released tracks.

 

[Sai-kun]

Copy Of A
Disappointed

[Risgroo]

Looking forward to this, Came Back Haunted and Copy of A are pretty great IMO.

 

[Clefargle]

W8ing
W8ing...
For what?



Seriously, this thing better leak, I'm beyond hyped.

 

[Vintage_Creep]

Hype. This and Arcade Fire next

 

[Aberrant]

I went to the Japan & South Korean shows in July this year. Fucking incredible shows! Lights were amazing.

If anybody is interested you can also here the tracks Disappointed and Find My Way if you watch the live shows on youtube.

Here is a snap from the Korean show.

Edit:

Find My Way at Fuji Rock

[reptilescorpio]

HAS IT LEAKED YET!?!?!!!?! <_>

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

"Find my way" Studio version was played on radio. You can hear it too! So far my favorite track!!

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/hear-nine-inch-nails-studio-version-of-find-my-way-20130823

 

[Backfoggen]

Everything is the only song on the album so far that does something for me and the only thing that could be called a "different direction" for NIN, which is what I expected from the new material.

 

[kitchenmotors]

Oh my god I'm so glad now that I turned down the tickets to see the new tour. I love NIN live but if this is the bullshit to expect...haha...no thanks, I'm OK.

You're missing out. I saw them at Lollapalooza with Sai-kun this month and the show was great. Trent and co sound better than ever, the new songs sound awesome, and the live show itself was more interesting than Lights in the Sky technically.

 

[Akahige]

very nice job on the OT

currently going through NIN discography to prepare for this album

 

[Rich!]

I listened to the 5.1 surround version of The Downward Spiral for the first time the other day.

Seriously, you guys need to get hold of it. It sucks you into that album like the 2.0 one never did.

i've only heard the 5.1 version once and it blew my mind

wish i had a 5.1 set up of my own

 

[reptilescorpio]

Hope they do a tour down here, Copy Of A is fucking fantastic to here live!

 

[K.Sabot]

All of the released tracks are intriguing, which is something I probably wouldn't say of NIN these days.

I am excited.

 

[Rich!]

I only have 2.1, and have done for three years now. Had to take my 5.1 copy over to the parents house whilst they were out.

Had it loud enough to shake the room. March of the Pigs was like....well.

fuck me it was good

 

[Akahige]

good god

Sunspots
Home
The Line Begins To Blur
Beside You In Time
Right Where It Belongs

are just too good

I think the mix is kinda bad on some of it. Some effects are way too loud. The end of Hurt is not loud enough.

 

[Rich!]

I do agree, but even so - it's still a unique experience.

Almost as unique as hearing Zaireeka in it's full glory.

 

[Vee_One]

Beyond excited for this album
Cannot wait

 

[Kaladin]

I am fucking hyped for this shit....bring it on bitches.

 

[legacyzero]

Have never been a NiN fan.

But Came Back Haunted is so fucking awesome.

 

[Kaladin]

Who is going to what shows? Lets have a &#1048;i&#1048;Gaf meet-up.

I'm going to ATL.

 

[ImLibo]

Fantastic OT,super hyped for this.

 

[zychi]

Aww i thought this leaked thanks to this thread.

Got the deluxe preordered. Im sad trent isnt coming back to chicago with this tour, i wasnt able to see em at lolla

 

[dkeane]

Going to the Boston show. So pumped!

 

[lethial]

Got my ticket for Vancouver show. Can't fucking wait.

 

[Bildocube]

Excellent OT. Cant wait for this record. I am headed to the 10.05 Cleveland and 10.22 Nashville shows.

Hopin for a leak soon

 

[kitchenmotors]

I do agree, but even so - it's still a unique experience.

Almost as unique as hearing Zaireeka in it's full glory.

Zaireeka <3

I've wanted to purchase the vinyl but I would have no means to play it properly.

 

[Mononoke]

Have never been a NiN fan.

But Came Back Haunted is so fucking awesome.

Really? I think it's one of his most bland songs to date. You should check out The Fragile and the Downward Spiral.

 

[zephervack]

This is what made me a NiN fan, it's amazing with the right setup

 

[CloudWolf]

My body is ready.

Really? I think it's one of his most bland songs to date. You should check out The Fragile and the Downward Spiral.

Don't listen to this man. If you like Came Back Haunted but have never been a NIN fan, you should check out Pretty Hate Machine. That album is much closer to Came Back Haunted in style than the albums Azula mentions.

Spoiler

Also, it's easily NIN's best album, closely followed by The Downward Spiral.

 

[ZROCOOL]

Shit. I forgot about this album -_-

 

[Kaladin]

This comes out the same day as Diablo III on PS3

 

[Sullichin]

Looking forward to this. New songs are decent to good by NIN standards, but I'm more excited to just obsess over NIN setlists again.

I put a bit of time into making a playlist of what I consider to be the 25 best NIN songs (well, 26 because I grouped The Frail / The Wretched)...tough for anything post-Fragile to make this list! It's not in any order, although I do think closer is definitely the best NIN song.

Closer
Piggy
Terrible Lie
Reptile
The Becoming
The Frail / The Wretched
Just like you imagined
Happiness in Slavery
Sin
La Mer
The Great Below
Me, I'm Not
The Mark Has Been Made
March of the Pigs
Wish
The Big Come Down
Hurt
Head Like a Hole
I'm Looking Forward to Joining you, finally
Mr. Self Destruct
The Line Begins to Blur
Heresy
The Fragile
The Great Destroyer
Even Deeper

 

[ChoklitReign]

Pretty good, but it needs more TDS and less Fragile Side 2. Fragile Side 1 is a masterpiece, but I only really love Please on Side 2.

 

[Pacbois]

Just saw them at a festival in Paris. I'm really into NiN normally, but as all of my friends were at this show, I followed them and yeah, it's quite good live. Massive sound and also really cool visuals. We only got Find My Way from the new album but the reaction seemed kinda lukewarm.

I should probably try to get into their music. As a huge Queens of the Stone Age fan, it might be easy.

 

[Tokubetsu]

My body is ready.

I've always loved you because of the Mike Patton avatar, but you've definitely stolen my heart with this post.

 

[Cystm]

Sampling the album now. So far so good. I have always enjoyed Trent's stuff.

 

[Aberrant]

In case anybody didn't know there is also a 5.1 version of With Teeth and a 5.1 version of The Social Network OST. The Fragile in 5.1 has been completed according to Trent but hasn't been released yet. There is a decent fan made 5.1 version of The Fragile that is worth a listen to though.

5.1 TDS is something else. Even if you listen to the 5.1 version on a stereo setup, whatever Trent did to the tracks makes it sound different to the CD version. The outro of Closer is just ridiculous in 5.1.

Hope to get this signed one day .

 

[ThisWreckage]

Copy of A is probably the best NIN song in ten years. The synths sound like a Megaman song.

 

[Kaladin]

I wish there was a 5.1 mix for this album....I also wish there was a sweet $250 deluxe edition I could drop some money on. If anyone can get me to spend that much on a deluxe edition, it's Trent Reznor.

I guess I'll be happy with the vinyl for now.
