Zane/Trent/Atticus talking about NTAE:
Talking about how technology changing music and how Trent resisted iPods. Had to take one on tour to fall in love. Changed how he listened to music. "Physical media is dead." Sad to watch the devaluation of music in the process, it's in the background of other screens now. Bits on Apple Music. This record is for sale and not exclusive anywhere, selling it as vinyl which is tactile and experiential. You see it when you walk past it. Cryptic about the "physical component" and it's the premium experience. He's super into the vinyl lately. Loves not skipping songs, loves flipping, loves that it stays on if the phone rings, etc. Goes into how he hated Remain in Light but he forced himself to get into it because he couldn't afford more records, so he's glad he invested because it's so important to him now. Not lamenting new technology.
Setting up the new EP: Not contrived. Moment of excitement and honesty. Atticus loves albums made in isolation. They isolated themselves from other music when making the EP. Took "several weeks... or months".
TWO NEW MAJOR NIN WORKS IN THE NEXT YEAR!!!
No touring plans next year but they're discussing it... Atticus' involvement isn't a slight to the other guys, they're just not sitting next to him a year at a time.
Playing the new EP...
All those photos of Trent wearing Beats by Dre headphones. They need to play Even Deeper.
Looks like another version of the artwork
Wait did he say two NIN albums or NIN projects?
Funny, right before he mentioned 2017 NIN he said something like, let's see what quote I'll have to live up to in 2017.
Listening for first time on Beats1 , it seems like this is very headphone / layered friendly is this true if anyone can confirm?
Gosh, the gritty noise is everything I wanted and more. I woke up one happy person this morning. My 4th time jamming out to it!
AND ALL THAT COULD HAVE BEEN STILL
AN•. AL• TH•T COU•• ••VE •EEN ST•••
If there were only just an extra 'T' The title would fit into AATCHB STILL. But damn that's pretty close lol. I tried.
I wanted to quote one of your posts earlier today but couldn't, but I wanted to let you know that I'm am quite enjoying watching you lose your shit to this EP. You've been such a curmudgeon the last few years and down on NIN, and to see you get your pants blown off by the EP, do a complete 180, and gain your faith back in Trent, it's been really enjoyable for me. You've been waiting so long for Trent to give you something you like and you finally got it and you're losing your shit and it's fucking great. You being happy makes me happy.
Not sure what's happening with nouns this NIN era. Buy music. Get a CD? Nope, a "physical component". New NIN in 2017? Yes, but they're not albums, they're "projects". Very interesting.
Im so happy too. IM SO HAPPY. I mean fuck, bill messaged me on here and he's over the moon about the EP too. EVERYTHING IS GOOD AND EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL AND PROLIFIC AND NOISY AND DISRESPECTFUL AND THOUGHTFUL AND CARELESS AND CAREFUL.
Honestly, I haven't been this excited and happy about a release since the ARG. Everything about this release is so raw, sarcastic and FUN.
If you're reading this Trent, THANK YOU.
To be fair, I think "projects" is specifically to avoid saying two albums. I bet one if a new album and the other is the long gestating greatest hits or some sort of live release, perhaps even the, just talking about the remaster series which they've not mentioned once in the interview. I think 2008 was the only year we'll ever get two NIN albums.
RE: The "physical component," CDs are deader than dead, get used to it.
The physical component is a brick you can scrape against your face or smash against hard surfaces.
