They've really been working on this baby. I think we can expect a more traditional release.

I don't think a release will be next week (sadly), but the fact there's no label stopping them means they can say "album is done, pre orders and art available now", and release it in like March after some promotion.
Would be nice to see another video too.

I liked the Slip tactic of digital first followed by physical release. That way you get giddy excitement twice for the same albumI can't remember, was the EP digital first followed by physical? I just remember I had to go to a few stores to get the EP, and ended up having to give FYE some money

The EP was digital first, yes (followed by vinyl). Ideally I'd like to see them all on the same day, but I can see the staggered release being good marketing and consumer awareness.

I don't see the LP being released in the very near future, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
Side note: I was surprised to realize that the EP is nearly two years old. It doesn't feel like it's been that long, but I guess it has. It still holds up well for me, especially The Space In Between. There's something amazingly sinister about that song. I know some want to see the LP go into a different direction, but I don't think they should completely abandon the sound they crafted on the EP.

I too want a kick-ass music video.
And i want Fincher to direct it.
And i want some cake.

This is what I'm hoping for. We know that Trent doesn't like to sit on his music anymore unless he has to (like with the soundtracks, right?)

Hey people, why is everybody so inpatient?
The new CD/vinyl will come. Enjoy the prelude or in the meantime enjoy TGWTDT OST (this is still só fresh and excited) or listen again to the first HTDA CD.
Relax and don't act like spoiled kids.....
It's a privilege to be part of this. Trent does a great job making music year by year....
Stubby Member
Spoiled? Where do you see impatience my friend? I see excitement and speculation.

Then we are on the right way

Watching the movie right now, great to see the action with the music!
I didn't know and I was a little surprised.
Active Member
EXcited as Trent has just tweeted they're on the second to last day of mixing
I'm hoping for a video as well and some little build up like last time

i cant stand when people write things like this. so ridiculous. this thread is about people being excited for new music.
aka nine_inch_nerd
Hey, someone else already made his point. ^^I replied.Then we are on the right way
I tried into perspective with my argument.
See it as a slip of the pen, ok?
Throbbing Member
Yeah, let's not play Trent's bodyguard and start policing a few excited fans. Bring on the new music - I still listen to the EP a lot and it's really good. You guys realize this is the first proper album he'll have released in four years? Crazy.

So what were TSN and TGWTDT?
Throbbing Member
Soundtracks. It's a very different type of music than what he's made in the past. It's meant to evoke moods, and it usually changes very slowly and imperceptibly. It's meant to do its job without you even knowing it's there. Whereas with a proper album, you're really listening and engaging, because it's full of actual songs with structure and change.

Even though I was not a fan of the EP (I'm not sure I've listened to it since release week... man), I'm finding myself honestly excited to hear the first album.
Throbbing Member
I adored the EP. Now that the album is most likely completed the wait is killing me. I'm literally checking theninhotline.com, twitter feeds, and here a good 10 times per day. Don't think I could be more hyped if I tried

Same here, got A Drowning on now.

So, the LP can't be too far off: anyone hoping for an LE? Or at least a 5.1 mix (would explain why mixing took so long too)?
aka nine_inch_nerd
5.1 would be great!
Active Member
I'll be happy with just a cd that I can order that comes with a download link - I just want it on my iPod, no need for anything fancy. There were quite a few problems with ordering the LE GWTDT set weren't there?
Throbbing Member
I'm guessing the LP announcement/release will come in March/April with a short tour in July/August.
Stubby Member
Hopefully the announcement and such will come sooner than later. I am itching to hear what the LP sounds like.
Throbbing Member
I was really expecting to hear something by now. The wait is a killer! I've never refreshed Twitter so much.
Throbbing Member
March for sure. It's done mixing, and Trent said he expected it to be out in the first quarter, so get excited.
Banned
I'm excited.
Active Member
No and no. The only time I've ever felt compelled to buy anything more than the album itself is when a band includes a "making of" DVD with it - I'm a very behind-the-scenes oriented person. And 5.1? Nope. Give me something I can listen to on a good pair of ears or any decent stereo speakers.
