Faceplams: I would like it more if the transition between covers were more vague, something like between Ghosts (counted as an album somehow) and The Slip.
However idea is pretty good.

Satellite is my favourite stand-alone song, I can listen to it on repeat. Guess I'm a sucker for dancey beats and call-response. And that layering at the end...mmmmm.
That said...I know it was created before the rest of the album, but it kinda irks me how it doesn't seem to fit in lyrically. More YZ if anything.
HM has renewed my love of NIN. Guess it came at the right time for me. It's comforting.

Down, but not out.
I could also see how that could be. I would even go as far to still say that Hesitation Marks brought out the similar feelings I had when With Teeth came out as well.

It's approaching the 1 year mark of Hesitation Marks being released. I want to see how everyone lists their top songs from the album now.
(No order)
-I Would For You
-In Two
-While I'm Still Here/Black Noise
-All Time Low
-Various Methods of Escape
-Find My Way
-Running (not so much live though)
-Everything
Banned
I'll list the ones I care to re-listen to, and the order I like them:
1) I Would For You
2) All Time Low
3) The Eater Of Dreams
4) Various Methods Of Escape
5) In Two
6) Everything
7) While I'm Still Here

6. Disappointed
7. All Time Low
8. Came Back Haunted

That's grading on a curve, though. I still like Running, and on a lot of other albums it would even be a highlight.
It's an incredible album.

Hoping for some more HM songs to be played on the current tour. Although that seems as likely as hearing TF songs...though The Fragile/Wretched was played recently...I guess we'll see.
Top pick for HM song to see on the current tour: Satellite
Active Member
Did you see Satellite on Tension? That was my number one pick for a song live but I knew it was unlikely, it was by far one of the least played from HM on Tension along with IWFY and was worried I'd not get it at all, in the car on the way to the show when it came on while listening to the album I just thought of how much I wanted to hear it, and all of a sudden towards the end of the main set, BOOM, that insane electronic beeping kicked in. The visuals they used for that blew my mind.
Stubby Member
Satellite did in fact blow my mind!
I was at the Staples Center for the show they recorded for the DVD. It's a good thing that that Vevo recording isn't on VHS, because I would have worn out that tape months ago.
Active Member
Is it as cool as it sounds having that show preserved that way? I've always wished I'd be at a filmed show, whenever I want to re-experience mine I have to turn to RITC and YouTube videos (which is fine, but man, having a pro-shot must be amazing).
Satellite is definitely one of my most missed songs from this past year of performances, I understand not playing a lot of HM as much of it is very complex and a four piece might not pull it off well enough to justify it, but Satellite seems totally optimal. That right after The Great Destroyer would be incredible to see.
Stubby Member
It is pretty cool. (Especially, b/c my seats were shitty and so my view wasn't as spectacular
Some of the RITC/YouTube videos do a pretty good job though, I must say. I find myself often rewatching songs from the 2009 show I in saw in Kansas City.
The playing of The Great Destroyer does seem like playing Satellite would be possible.
I have at least one more show planned for this tour, maybe it'll happen.
[Ha, who knows, we may be due for a yet to be announced 10 date club show a la Wave Goodbye]

Has anyone heard anything lately about the Limited Edition version of Hesitation Marks? Last I heard Russell Mills was going to start working on the canvas sometime this month.
Josh Wink was on HLAH
Deluxe Broken/Fixed
Deluxe Fragile
Deluxe With Teeth
Ghosts Film Festival
Trent's history with releasing this kind of thing is SO strong, I'm sure we'll hear something soon :P
words.exe
A re-release of HM was never on the cards, either. Mills' artbook was a separate thing.
Stubby Member
Are you sure? I could have sworn Russell Mills said it was for a Limited Edition release of H.M. Something about a huge canvas being painted and cut into little squares, one being included in every release. I'm I confused?
she/her/hers
it's a book of all of the art he made for the album, but it doesn't come with any music. it is a separate entity.
I was nobody. Nothing.
i was actually looking for deluxe broken and fixed until i reread the post and realized who posted it
Stubby Member
In his interview with Underneath It All podcast (about 14:58) Russell Mills talks about the 320 page book "Cargo in the Blood." He describes it as a Limited Edition release with all the H.M. artwork and explanations for the artwork. Each copy includes a piece of a canvas cut into 2500+ pieces. Mills says that it'll be released with the album in a new double gatefold sleeve. Also included are two "laser etched steel discs" containing all the lyrics and credits. Has the project changed since then?

I don't remember that last part about it containing the album. Probably vaporware just like every other better-than-baseline NIN release that didn't come out simultaneously with the regular editions.
Bent Member
We don't need an ultra-deluxe edition of an album that came out a year ago. That just seems like a cash grab, and very un-TR.
That art book from Mills sounds interesting, though.
Stubby Member
I'd agree it would interesting if he released the album again especially after he just released it in 6 different versions. However, I assume at some point Trent discussed the idea with Mills right? I don't think Mills would claim the project would include the album to a group of NIN die hards without believing himself that it would. Given Trents history, I understand heavy skepticism. I'm with you on that and that's why I'm asking. But since Russell's interview, has there been any word on the project or is it just speculation? If anyone wants to listen to the underneath it all podcast again, Mills talks about it at the 15 minute mark. If I misunderstood him, please correct me so I don't further make a fool of myself.
she/her/hers
as the editor of Underneath It All, i can tell you that you didn't misunderstand him, but that the format of the release has almost certainly changed a bit. that interview happened last year, when HM was still fresh and new, and at the time, it made sense. but now i would imagine that the book will be a standalone art book with no music.

This info was recently posted on the news section of Russell's site:
http://russellmills.com/russell_mills/news
"Mills’ trip to Los Angeles, originally planned for late April, has been postponed until the Autumn. Mills will travel with his collaborator Mike Fearon, to Los Angeles to undertake the painting of a large mixed media canvas towards the Cargo In The Blood: The Reverse Is Also True limited edition multiple. Once completed the canvas will be cut into 2500-3000 individual works, which will be framed in steel to become part of the limited edition multiple. In addition to several other items, Cargo In The Blood: The Reverse Is Also True will also contain a hardback five colour 320-page book showing all the works made towards use in the Hesitation Marks release, with interpretative texts charting the ideas behind each work. Each will be encased in a folding and individually cauterised suede portfolio. Edition number and publication date tbc."

empty thoughts into the ether:
spent the day so far prepping my own live material; with that done and the house to myself, I just put on the vinyl. really, really dig this album still. has that NIN-feeling that I had been missing since With Teeth -- don't know if its just studio polish or over thinking or what, but it really is up there with the rest of the catalog.

Loved it right away and still listen regularly.
