God Break Down the Door - first single

[streetman]

you are looking too much into it, maybe inspired but it has nothing to do with Bowie's death. And the teaser is similar to this song, so its not a one-off

Similar? To me they sound nothing alike. In that teaser he's doing more of the whispering/talking like in the other EPs judging by that small snippet.

Agreed that this would feel right at home on the Lost Highway soundtrack, which I view as a compliment (it's one of the best movie soundtracks). It is a bit jarring to hear Trent sing like Bowie at first, but once that breakdown hits halfway, I'm 100% on board. It's like The Perfect Drug, Driver Down, I'm Deranged, and Blackstar had an orgy.

Or Earthling and Blackstar had an orgy?

So why did the official NIN youtube account upload the video then take it down?

My guess is it was accidentally uploaded as a public file. Whoever did it quickly realized, made it private, and caught Trent's wrath roughly 10 minutes later.

I hope the official link goes live soon so I don't keep giving all these hits to this bootleg one :-)

*replays song again*

[Mataxia]

This song rules. These EPs have been the most artistic stuff NIN has done in a while.

[streetman]

Having listened to this multiple times already, I can say that I prefer every single song on both NTAE and AV better. I was hoping this EP would go harder and heavier than the last two and it seems to be doing the opposite. Really hope the rest of the album isn't this tame.

[OSLIN]

This songs definitely leaves me intrigued.

[paul_guyet]

This is bizarre.

[Toadflax]

Reminds me of David Bowie's Sue (Or In A Season of Crime). Blackstar album version.

Yup. I thought the same thing.

[paul_guyet]

Idk how this song will translate into a live setting.

Oddly, I'd imagine.

Although...may I direct everyone's attention to Nine Inch Nails headlining the Montreux Jazz Festival in July?

[Demogorgon]

This one song alone is better than the entirety of the new APC album.

I would say mostly. I fucking love By and Down the River though.

[mauro995]

This is like Driver Down with vocals and without the heavy guitars.

I've flushed turds that are better than the entirety of the new APC album.

Music is sick. The vocals are......uh....yeah.....Not sure if I dig Trent going into Tom Jones ballad crooner mode. I'd rather he sing like Trent. He has one of the most unique voices in the industry, why sing in different monotones at this stage of the game

[fillow]

Hey, Trent... the cat is out of the bag now. Now reason to hold back on the official upload.

[joplinpicasso]

I cannot listen....I must not listen......

Dude’s probably so annoyed right now.

[Toadflax]

Definitely digging this. I'll take weird unexpected NIN to a cookie cutter hit single like Less Than any day.

[thefragile_jake]

How crazy would it be if this was a major fluke and this wasn't even what was supposed to be released as the first single with it instead being Ahead of Ourselves ... based on the snippet preview. I doubt that's the case, but hey - more NIN!

[FULLMETAL]

Did NIN take it down or did Kobalt file a claim? Regardless, I am digging the fuck out of this!

[paul_guyet]

Dude’s probably so annoyed right now.

It was HIS YouTube. He can't be that pissed...
It's got people talking, that's for fucking sure.

[sick among the pure]

Since I’m going to night one in Vegas, I’m holding off on listening. Even to official early releases. I like what I’m reading, though. Hopefully they play it at the first show.

[WorzelG]

Peoples descriptions of this being like Lost Highway I’m Deranged Bowie and Driver Down have got me massively excited for this but I’m going to refrain till Trent puts it out himself

[Helpmeiaminhell (is now in hell)]

He probably uploaded it intentionally for only a few minutes then yanked it...Gets people talking. Genius marketing

[Ribbitman]

fuck I was busy earlier and missed it

[Nellyrific]

YES.

Yup. I thought the same thing.

Is it a sample or almost a sample...instantly reminded me of this song
