Hype NIN can do some amazing ambient tunes.

 

[Rockondevil]

Never really been into them but there's some songs they've done that give the vibe.
Gonna be real hard to follow up Daft Punk though.

 

[KaiserBecks]

I really appreciate their scores and Tron seems like a perfect match, but I want them to make a new album

 

[Big Baller]

Nobody was gonna beat Daft Punk. Hope they deliver an awesome soundtrack.

 

[ClanOfNone]

I trust Reznor, The Downward Spiral was the album of my high school years and early 20’s.

Literally and figuratively.

 

[wondermega]

As a User, I approve of this decision. I believe they are up to the task!

 

[Salz01]

This is actually good news.

[Dacvak]

I was holding onto the slimmest amount of hope that Daft Punk would reunite just for this movie. Oh well

 

[Toons]

I cannot tell you how much im looking forward to this movie.

So NiN is just Trent and Atticus…who have been steadily making soundtracks for a decade at this point. So how are they reuniting exactly? Maybe they plan to approach the soundtrack as a NIN record?

The Fragile and Pretty Hate Machine were my first albums and the rest later on. The downward Spiral and Further Down the Spiral bring back fond memories.

Have you seen them play live? I've been fortunate enough to see them twice. The first time was at the London Astoria and second time was at Brixton Academy.

 

[TDiddyLive]

Disney’s social media knocked it out of the park with this one.

I saw them at the Manchester Academy, they are awesome live

[TheInfamousKira]

Reunite? It's functionally Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor, and they've been working together steadily since the Bad Witch.

Holy fuck, are you my spirit animal?

 

[jason10mm]

Tron is like one of my top 5 IPs,....don't fuck this up Disney!!!!

 

[BadBurger]

First they got Daft Punk, now NIN. They don't mess around when it comes to the scores for these new* Tron films.

 

[SJRB]

Reznor and Ross have incredible soundtracks under their belt so this is going to be amazing regardless of how the movie will turn out.

 

[Esca]

They'll do good I feel but it's a tall order following after daft punk

 

[indigo-cyclops]

This is billed differently than the typical Ross/Reznor collaboration for movie soundtracks. Interesting...

 

[Mr Reasonable]

I used to listen to NIN all the time and have seen them live loads of times, but later era stuff has left me pretty cold, which I have pettily blamed on Atticus Ross greater prominence.

I have no point to make other than that. It's not even really a point. I just wanted to grumble.*

Interesting that they're calling it a NIN soundtrack though, maybe they'll do something other than slightly detuned synths...


*To balance it out, here's some enthusiasm, seeing NIN on the Fragility 2.0 tour in (oh god) 1999 is probably one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Certainly one of the ones I look back on most fondly, but then, they pulled it out of the bag again in 2014. Both shows are some of the best multimedia experiences I've ever had. Now that every stage is just a massive video wall, it still blows me away what NIN achieved and how nobody seems to be challenging them.

 

[Hudo]

That's good news.

 

[FeralEcho]

They are a great fit. We'll see if they manage to one-up the incredible score of Daft Punk.

I mean I'm not expecting them too. DP was on a playing field entirely their own during that era. I do hope they give the franchise a memorable and rejuvenated motif.

Its gonna be interesting for sure. I can see myself buying this one on vinyl

[AJUMP23]

I think Reznor is a great musician, bit the Daft Punk Tron soundtrack is one of the best of all time.

 

[dave_d]

I hope it’s good. Admittedly I hope we get a great animated series to go with it like last time. (I really thought Tron Uprising was something special)

 

[Locutus]

This is perfect. Nine Inch Nails fits the esthetic but are just different enough from Daft Punk that they can avoid a direct comparison. I think Disney nailed it here.

 

[killatopak]

Wait. There’s a new Tron?

 

[Quasicat]

Between this and Jared Leto, this is a $3 rental at best for me. How sad…I liked Tron.

Jared Leto is in it...?

Ugh.

Ugh.

Yeah…sorry.

The first sentence of this article: “After nearly 15 years, our first extended look at Tron: Ares, starring Jared Leto, has arrived.”
