I wonder if there'll be a real, buy-it-in-the shops-with-b-sides single. If so it would probably land real damn soon.
I would love if we heard live drums sampled and manipulated like the old days. I feel like thats whats been missing. WT had some (but I feel like those were straight performances), YZ had just Hyperpower! and The Slip had some, but TDS and TF had a shitload. I do love the electronic stuff as well, but long for more sampled live drums, used like a drum machine or sequenced. And the wall of guitars sound. Not for every song, but some.
But who knows...no one knows for sure what he is doing in the studio and I could be totally wrong about all of this. And I love every album...no mater what he does. I just wish he would release Deep on something other that the Tomb Raider soundtrack...im very OCD about my iPod and hate seeing that album cover or even album name with my NIN. Just doesnt fit.
was it ever mentioned if the vinyl will be different from the other versions of the album? obviously there may be fades, etc., but i was wondering if there was any mention of different mixes, extended versions, etc. like the fragile.
Looks like CBH has peaked in the charts, so now would be a good time for a new single.
If Ilan didn't make any real drumming sources then he could've done some drum programming, or just vocals or god knows whatever instrument Trent put in front of him.
Please leak! It's now 08.03.2013. Exactly a month to go.
Please leak before August 16th, when ill be off the net for a few weeks
Over in the Lollapalooza thread somebody got a hold of v2.0 of the setlist. The original version of the setlist was also attached, & it had Everything debuting between Survivalism & Only.
I'd say we'd get a stream before we get a leak. He's wily, our Trent.
Realistically this thing will leak in about 10 days.
All this time talking about music and you guys haven't ONCE mentioned how awesome this wallpaper pack is going to be!
Yeah, I've limited myself to only checking setlists in anticipation. I've heard/seen 'Haunted,' liked it.
Does anyone have pictures of the merch booths, with prices and images of the new tour shirts?
Let me say one thing: this is the first time we have a new NIN record around the corner and no meathead perspective making fun of it. I dunno about you guys, but I miss the crazy fucker
Perhaps, but why throw the 'blame' on Atticus when Alan Moulder has worked with him for just as long? Come to think of it, Trent Reznor's worked with Nine Inch Nails since 1988. That's 25 years. Surely it's time for him to pass the mantle over to someone else. Wouldn't want it to become stale.
At this point, we could have 'waved goodbye' to NIN several times over, but we haven't, and that's because Trent obviously enjoys writing new music [and also has a family to take care of now]. If it's becoming same-y, it's because he's carved a niche for himself that he's happy working within. If he wasn't happy working, there would be no more NIN. Most importantly, he's built a team of friends and colleagues that can operate within that niche, and as such, those names will crop up again and again, from Atticus Ross to Leo Herrera. That doesn't mean they're to 'blame' for what Trent decides *is* NIN.
I'm amazed he's decided to go back on stage and belt out Closer and Head Like A Hole just like the old days. After The Slip, that could have been it, and we would have had HTDA and soundtrack work until the end of days. But that isn't the case. NIN is back. The new material is awesome. We're in for a hell of a ride in the next month.
