It's not poppier than Everything
Yeah, I just changed my order to the vinyl as well. The Deluxe was already costing ~$18 something. Would rather get the vinyl to throw into my tiny collection and it only costs $10 more and comes with the CD.

true, very true. FLAC albums are a great thing to have. Also cant wait to see them again in Seattle, their last show was great( back in 2007)

I'm weak and listening right now... but getting the vinyl from Amazon. Love that the reception is very positive. I enjoyed everything so far, even Everything.

MTV should have had NIN close the VMAs......maybe if it was 1998 or something =/

Is everything on drum machines?
Please tell me there are live drums.

Is it? I like the sound of that.
So people who have heard it would you say the singles are the worst of the bunch, relatively speaking? Though I guess you could also love them. I personally wasn't impressed with any of them, but still holding out hope that the album as a whole is a classic.

The singles are not the standouts, and Everything is the only song like that on the album. I'll have to agree that it is more mellow than one would expect with the whole shades of TDS thing going on via the artwork but there's still some great industrial noises on here.
With iTunes you can use all of them. Associate different tracks with different cover variations.
It is. It's a very mellow laid back album on the whole.
it is to me. Everything's like a shitty Foo Fighters/The Cure ripoff/mix. Satellite is Trent channeling Justin Timberlake (heh) and doing a damn fine electro-pop-dance-whatever track.
Is Everything cheesier? Yes it is. But Satellite's dancier.

Something I expect Trent will do with the digital version by default. IIRC he embedded special artwork into every track of Ghosts.
Depends on what you're looking for. Think a crossbreed between Social Network and Year Zero and that's about what some of the new tracks sound like. Personally, I can somewhat dig this but it's not close to being up there for me.

This is good to hear. I'm actually partial To a lot of the mellow, ambient stuff Trent does. But also love the powerful tracks too. I just worry there's too much production going on. One thing I love about NIN is the soundscapes and layers created with real instrumentation.

Holy shit... Disappointed is GREAT. I wasn't a fan of the live version... wasn't expecting much going into the studio version, but it blew me away.

Also I'm really digging the remixes. Especially the Oneohtrix Point Never remix of Find My Way. Todd Rundgren's remix has a few rough spots but is equally as good, if a little more psychedelic. Worth buying for? Probably not. Vinyl would be the way to go knowing how Trent treats that medium.

Can't wait to hear the remixes. High bitrate/depth wave will be awesome. I'll wait on vinyl for now until I get my system set up again at my new house.
Still am not hearing any live drums :\

Which I'm alright with, we've had live drums for the past few albums. Although it does sneak in during one of the songs from what I've heard so far. It's a huge Fragile-esque moment that it had me grinning from ear to ear.
Which song would that be? Because I've been searching for a Fragile-esque moment but I'm drawing blanks.
Album is pretty minimalistic. As others have said, it sounds like elements of his film composing bled into this album. Instrumentally, there is no live drums, and the beats are really stripped down IMO. If you were looking for a more fleshed out/band sound, this album is not that.
It's just a very mellow, stripped down/minimal record. Not at all what I was expecting. Not that surprising given Ghosts + his work on Social Network / Tattoo. It's actually a pretty logical evolution from Year Zero and the Slip.

Every single song is drum machines.
This is garbage.
I laughed out loud at "so give me just a little, baby." I heard it without the comma. "No, you'd just name it something stupid, Trent."
nothing can stop him now.
There they are. Personally, I don't really associate this to the Fragile-eque sound but it's certainly one of the more layered tracks. Overall a decent track.

I guess they found the drum set for part of Various Methods of Escape. It's why it's the best song on here.

I don't understand why anyone would look for acoustic drums on a Nine Inch Nails album.

Oh god I need this. I can't listen for another couple hours and that makes me sad.

Because they're the best parts of the best Nine Inch Nails songs.
The breakdown in Piggy?
You're right, there was zero live drumming on Broken, TDS, TF and WT, Ghosts and Slip.

That's the way the font is on the album art. It's correct.

My fav is the middle of the song "Ruiner" on Downward Spiral. Both guitar and drums fit so perfectly. So much emotion in it. Nothing has matched that since. I wish Trent would do some stuff like that again..
