Preordered the deluxe edition. Really excited!! I don't understand why the Trent interview is exclusive to itunes??
it was clearly stated about interview taking place on 2nd CD of "deluxe" package, no?
That must be one amazing interview to be featured on an official NIN album release, no?
Does anybody know if the digital download that comes with the deluxe CD if ordered from NIN.com is of the deluxe edition with the 2nd CD of remixes or just of the standard edition?
So I guess nobody knows. I hope that if/when this sucker leaks, it's the deluxe version.
The interview is something I care very little about having on my disc. I'm sure we'll all hear it regardless.
Gary Numan's new album Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind) just went up for pre-order and we were only meant to get I Am Dust as an mp3, but the whole album is up. Wondering if it's intentional or not?
Either way, that album is due out on October 14 and I'm now listening to it.
Moral of the story: hurry up HM leak!
Dammit ETS, stop crashing for me. My mind jumps to conclusions and assumes Hesitation Marks leaked.
Well, let's see... I've dug PHM, BRkn, Fxd, TDS, TF, TPG, CTGod, other singles, TFA, YZ, WithaT, Tslip, GHST (not exactly in this order). So, it looks like HM is gonna be skipped after listening to CBH, CopA, FMway, Disap thinking this is pretty much it. This is how the album will sound. It's always funny to me when I read comments from someone saying "hey, didn't think much of it but then I played it the 15th time and now it's growing on me" or "man, this is meh...oh wait, it will sound better somehow when it's in context"...pfffft. I don't want to be happy. I want pain, drilling guitars, heavy shit. Not drum machines and happy synth blips and cymbal ticks. (next nin album name?).
Okay. Doesn't it seem like the record is about as hyped as it's gonna get? Maybe a boost to be had from the CoA video, but I would think a few days after that you're getting into diminishing returns. I just can't see much point in sitting on it so long. I think in this respect Columbia is still a decade or so behind, where people still get all their info from monthly magazines and MTV. My guess is that in the age of the internet, most people who want HM already know about it and, upon release, reviews, touring and word of mouth will do the job from there. Of course, I haven't gotten any job offers to do marketing or A&R or whatever. So, the fuck do I know?

By TPG do you mean TPD? I'm not trying to be snarky. I'm just racking my brain trying to figure out what TPG is.
I wasn't worried about an HM leak because ETS's server wasn't busy, it seemed like the whole site was down, which I don't think would happen from an overload of traffic. (At least, I'm pretty sure - I don't have any idea what I'm talking about honestly)
Actually, we're just 2 weeks away from the earliest release date in the world. So let's just move past that argument. And let's start a pool on when we think it will leak or stream, whichever you think will come first.
I say a leak will happen on Tuesday, August 27th.
I'm really saying they should just go ahead and release the summamabitch! I don't see any real benefit to holding out so long.
I have a strong psychic belief...that the album...will leak...this weekend...
