The release of the album is so close that some shitty vid by a guy supposedly sending PMs for more is not very interesting.Originally Posted by streetman
So cold it can sting.
Pretty sure it's Death Grips. They have a new release right around the corner too.
Throbbing Member
Yeah, but the vocals on two of the clips he leaked sound 100% like Trent.
God is an American
I am definitely not planning on wading through fucking Reddit (ugh) to find out whether you are full of shit.
Active Member
Trent from Death Grips, sure.

I guess this is finally Dive and Slam.
I'm calling BS.
Active Member
That does sound like TR in the video. I'm much less convinced by the "nin hq" audio clip, but they both sound good...
Stubby Member
Even if happens to not be NIN, it sounds really cool
Stubby Member
That's Trent's voice. I don't know of anyone else who could do those I Do Not Want This/The Idea Of You/In This Twilight spoken word verses like that
Active Member
I'm definitely suspicious of that video, especially since there were no leaks with the last two EPs.
Administrator
i don't think it sounds like trent that much.
Active Member
In the video or the audio clip?
Administrator
I only listened to the audio.
Flaccid Member
Some are slightly more convincing than others.
It definitely sounds like a departure from what we've gotten on the first two EPs though.
Here's what the guy has posted so far if you don't want to go digging on reddit:

That last clip is convincing. Very convincing.
Flaccid Member
That's the one that made me think...maybe.
Though...that "HEY" sounds like it might be taken from somewhere else.
Active Member
Is it possible "in the middle of nowhere" is a stretched/processed version of this clip at 24:10? https://www.npr.org/2011/12/19/14383...-air-interview
I remember the last time there were these little leaks, I sussed out that the vocals were just the breakdown of The Hand That Feeds backwards. My guess is it's the same situation, but they're using more obscure bits of Trent's voice.
Flaccid Member
Sounds possible to me.
I might have to try syncing them up when I get back home.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha
What have we learned, every time this happens? If someone tells you they've got a NIN leak and you can't hear Trent singing on any of the clips, they're trying to pull a fast one.
Edit: Found my way to the deleted reddit thread. "enough interest and I'll upload an hq snippet (different part of the song of course)" - this routine again? I feel like someone was doing this exact same thing between NTAE and AV, and it was just as convincing. He got real butthurt when he kept getting banned, too.
Look kid. Don't pass your music off as someone else's. If you make good music, put your name to it. Pretending it's leaked NIN will get you exactly zero notable exposure.
Throbbing Member
Right you are. That guy got banned or deleted his account. No more trolling. At least for now.
Flaccid Member
I don't understand how, when people do this, they ever think it'll end up going their way...
Throbbing Member
Baffling. Do they not get that they're lying and wasting everyone's time? I guess they don't care.
Flaccid Member
I don't have the discography with me to compare, but the only other time Trent says "can you see it?" is In This Twilight, and I'm 90% certain this line isn't taken from that. He sings it differently IIRC.
Stubby Member
The voice is probably Trent, but taken from somewhere else (live show, multitracks...). The music, production, mixing, style is really not sounding like something NIN would do (even when they surprise us, there's always something recognizable in the way they make music). If it was only for the last snippet, I would have serious doubts, but the two other tracks, I don't know...
If this guy had snippets, he would probably share an undeniable one, like Trent singing multiple lines on a verse or something. It's too shady to be true.

Seriously. "Sorry I don't have the full song, just six three-second clips I managed to smuggle out on my handheld analog tape recorder I have with me at all times because it's the early 90's."
Also, we're a month and a half/two months away from anything.
One thing I will say...I like that someone put the effort in, you know? I can appreciate that.
Active Member
Wait, is he actually saying he recorded these on a device while listening through speakers? The clips are clearly too high quality for that.
And what, he was able to pull out his device and record but only for 5 seconds at a time?
Throbbing Member
I'm actually really amused every time false clips get spread around as 'UNRELEASED NEW NIN I SCORED BIG ON THIS CLIP'. I'm chuckling here listening to these.
Unintelligible Whispering
I'm not feeling the beats. Too dubsteppy. Harsh but not NIN harsh, if that makes any sense.
It's clever but I'm calling forgery. I've heard worse forgeries though.
Stubby Member
That guy is claiming he'll post a full song at midnight tonight, but it seems like he's already preparing to pull the "oh you guys are meanies now i'm not gonna share!!!" card because people are calling him out on his shit and asking for actual proof. He more than likely doesn't have dick and is just dying for attention. I guess we'll see tonight. The tiny bits of vocals on those clips do sound slightly convincing but the childish actions of this dude delivering them has me more skeptical than anything.
We all know the EP's coming out fairly soon so I'm not really dying to hear leaks anyway.
