The version from Fuji Rock is still the best imo. Great sound, great filming, and you can hear the crowd is really into it. And the whole show is flawless. Once, I watched it focusing on the light show. That particular stream constists almost exclusively of panoramic shots, so one can truely see how elaborate it is.

Agreed, although it'd be even better with the live drums a la Tension. But the filming really sells the Fuji version. You have to really think of the context that this was the first time NIN was back, and they really did a good job showcasing the individuals being added to the stage like a welcoming, then there was like an "Avengers Assemble" moment right before the first breakdown, and they pulled back so you can see the lights kick in when the song hits full stride. It just said "NINE INCH NAILS IS BACK." Brilliance.

Just listened to The Slip straight thru for the 1st time in like forever thanks to you clowns ^

-thanks
Thank goodness I've found this post. I know that feeling all too well as I've agreed to not do or experience certain things just because of what other people had said. All I just learned was that it could lead me to kick myself in the future for not allowing myself to possibly enjoy something that others might not like. This will really sound stupid, and in a way, it is, but that's what made me miss out on Tool and Radiohead when I was in high school. I didn't hate them, but I jumped on the bandwagon a lot when I was younger. It even prevented from being a fan of the Insane Clown Posse before actually giving their albums a chance at some point in my life as unbelievable as that would seem. (Which is also unbelievable in the other way as well, since most people in fact, do hate them, but if you've seen my history of openly being a fan of them on ETS, you'd understand.)

It also made me miss Marilyn Manson live. At this point, I'll check out whatever he's up to these days. I'm just thankful that he's still around and that I'm actually able to like a decent chunk of his post-The Golden Age of Grotesque output.

And when it came to video games, I almost tried to convert to just being a Sony PlayStation gamer.

(I'm not saying that's exactly what you're doing, but I could see how the majority's opinions can sometimes either make or break your potential enjoyment of just about anything in life.)

Fuck the bandwagon. It's not worth it. And yes, The Slip definitely gave me my fill of Nine Inch Nails at the time. I also love 1,000,000 and Echoplex live. ;)

It's one of those albums I often forget about or neglect, then sporadically come back to and find myself thinking "Wow, this is a whole lot better than I remember it being, why don't I listen to this more?"
To my surprise, that actually happened to me with With Teeth and Ghosts I-IV. I used to listen to Year Zero a lot more, but now I end up listening to With Teeth the most out of all them, and have still caught myself listening to Ghosts I-IV more than The Slip. I'm still glad to know this feeling as well. :)

I think The Slip would have a far better fan reception if it hadn't been free, people seem to always go back to it being free as a sign of disrespect, despite it being a great little album.

Agree 100%.

Love it, hate it, or leave it, The Slip ended up primarily being a "practice project" in digital distribution. Not just distribution but in recording as well. How long does it take to record an album in this computer-age and get it out to the masses (effectively)? How does free distribution of an album digitally (in copious formats) effect physical distribution/sales?

I guess a good lesson learned from The Slip is, even in the digital age, cost will still affect one's emotional perception of art.

09-26-2014, 05:11 PM

While I'm Still Here and Black Noise are quite the tearjerker for me when they really hit and move me live. It's like anger and hate combined with feelings of loss, fear, depression and despair. (Which also includes my bouts with self-loathing and suicidal ideation.) The more aggressive emotions come out of me for the Black Noise part. It just feels good, because I can relate to it so well as I have to fight those demons over and over again, and it's among those Nine Inch Nails songs that really hit home for me, while also being happy to see how Trent overcame his obstacles, and continues to do so. I could see why some people chose that over Hurt as the show closer. This is all emotions running on all cylinders for me right now, and why I keep coming back to NIN for more and more. I don't even know how to express my emotions sometimes and I normally bottle them up inside in real life, and NIN is one of those things that helps me solve my emotional problems.

Good point. Doesn't auger well for U2's Songs of Innocence … which is probably a lesser album than The Slip anyway, even before you get into all the ridiculous drama surrounding it.

It's not very often you get to see the band playing instruments closely due to the other stuff going on, and I think that's one of the things that makes the Austin City Limits performance so great. You get closeups of the band, giving you a greater look into the effort of the music and it's awesome. As Trent once put it, theres lots of tricks going on and it's super cool.

I really love the mindset Trent had for the album.

"The demo process was very stripped-down, consisting of a drum machine, a piano, a microphone, and a computer. From those demos, Reznor would determine what worked and what didn't. He found that the piano element in the demos provided an interesting contrast to the drums, and it would remain in many of the songs."

I read somewhere that he ended up keeping a number of the vocal takes from the demos as well because they had a raw quality that he was missing when doing them in a proper studio.

I was crushed and dissapointed by With Teeth when it came out, probably because it was 5-6 years since the Fragile and I was expecting something really out there. Since then I have come to love the album and listen to it front to back often.... except Only. I still don't get what he was thinking with that one.

After listening to Yorke's new album I wanted to strip down some NIN albums to eight tracks, like little Thom does since The King of Limbs.
Of course I had to cut classic songs, but I wanted to create a new flow. I thought it could bring a new light to them.

Year Zero :
1- me, i'm not
2- survivalism
3- meet your master*
4- the warning*
5- the great destroyer
6- another version of the truth
7- in this twilight
8- zero-sum

The Downward Spiral**
1- piggy
2- dead souls
3- a warm place
4- eraser
5- reptile
6- the downward spiral
7- all the pigs, all lined up
8- closer

*These two work very well together

Well, Dead Souls was on the original TDS release in Japan and it fits and should have been on domestic releases too

Khrz

10-04-2014, 04:32 AM

I have never thought of any japan release as "canon". They always get a B-side track or a remix shove in, and including Dead Souls there somewhat destroys the narrative and the purpose of a concept album to me, you see what I mean ? It's like having a trailer in the middle of a movie, or the author telling you to check out his buddie's book as well right after chapter 15... Dead Souls is a great track, but as far as including unrelated tracks, having Burn included makes a lot more sense to me than having the Joy Division cover, as great as it is. It doesn't even sound right, compared to the rest of the album... That's like putting Metal in The Fragile...

10-04-2014, 05:13 AM

But what Dead Souls is about totally fits, a schism of mentality.

Oh yeah, I'm not arguing that ! What I mean by "destroys the narrative" is that you get a whole album worth of monologue and inner turmoil, just to suddenly have your character quoting another band for five minutes. That doesn't work for me. Then again, I'm not making a point about the official inclusion of Dead Souls in The Downward Spiral, that's just my two cents about it :)

Fun fact nobody cares about : It's Dead Souls that got me into NIN. My parents worked in a library and my dad was always bringing CDs home and checking out the new releases/catalogue. I had bought The Crow soundtrack and asked him if they had My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. Since they didn't, I asked for Nine Inch Nails, which they didn't have either (NIN was quite obscure in France before TDS), so I went to my records store and bought Broken. A few months later my dad showed me a review in his newspaper talking about The Downward Spiral.

sheepdean

10-04-2014, 05:22 AM

That's fair, but I try to see it as part of the album, no different to Stephen King quoting bands in Dark Tower. Or maybe the protagonist just put on Still between his breakdowns :P

jmtd

10-04-2014, 08:19 AM

I don't think dead souls fits on the end, I definitely don't think closer fits on the end, but to be honest I don't think hurt does either. It stands alone, but TDS ending with TDS works best IMHO.

i find it a little more bizarre to use a silly and overlong remix of a classic NIN song (ATPALU) instead of the original.

to keep (a lot of) the story intact:
01. Mr. Self Destruct
02. March of the Pigs
03. Reptile
04. Closer
05. A Warm Place
06. Eraser
07. Hurt
08. The Downward Spiral

Much as I love Dead Souls, I have to agree with you. (It helps that I also have a fondness for Burn.) NIN's covers tend to be too faithful to the originals to fit into an album musically, let alone lyrically.*

That said, I don't think Suck deserved to be relegated to the Broken bonus disc — hell, he was half covering himself.

I thought Zoo Station was a heavy departure, though I guess a decade between cover songs might have given him time to figure it out. And Suck/Physical were on there because they weren't part of Broken, not for being covers - they were originally meant to be on a Lolla promotional release blah blah blah.

I've always thought of the Zoo Station cover being kind of a 'thank you' to Bono for giving him some advice that time (when he was photographed with bono backstage somewhere). It's like a full circle thing, the original was U2 going a bit NIN and the cover was NIN going U2.

I don't think Gone Girl or Dragon Tattoo get anywhere remotely close to Hesitation Marks (and I like GG). My opinion, that album can sit comfortably alongside anything else in Trent's entire oeuvre, TDS included - it's a spectacular piece of musicianship, production and reflective writing.

@elevenism (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=2475) - Are Pretty Hate Machine, The Fragile, With Teeth and Hesitation Marks your favorite albums to test headphones with now?

It just kept occurring to me that I use those albums as of now whenever I'm trying to test headphones more than any of the other ones.

Just thought I'd throw out some individual examples, sticking with TR-related projects:

• The entirety of Welcome Oblivion is a very good test for lows to mids. There is also some good tests of the mids to highs in a lot of Mariqueen's vocalization. I could give track-by-track examples, but that's too long winded.

• The "space" noise used in Corona Radiata, Perihelion, Background Noise, and At Risk is a good test for highs. Unfortunately, there's not much going on with the upper frequencies in a lot of the "new" high-resolution stuff.

• The Heretics is a great track for testing the attack/decay/bloat of bass for your headphones. The marimba on The Heretics should almost sound like 2 separate noises. You'll hear the marimba hit [mid to lower-high range], with a deeper "echo" [tinge of bass] at the tail end of every marimba note. This is accentuated nicely with the deeper bass synth line that enters the song later. All three of these should be noticeable always, which then gives your ears room to move around and discover even more. :)

Oh yeah, and out of all things with our NIN-related discussions, which NIN albums are your favorites as of now? I also kept forgetting to ask you that question for some reason.

@Kris (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=244) , to test sound? Hell, I don't know...CBH sounds really thick in the car.

As far as which NIN albums are my faves...

TDS is fucking amazing, but I don't listen to it as much these days because it is so goddamned depressing.

I think that Broken/Fixed will always be my favorites because that's the first nin that I got into, when those albums came out you know?

I fucking LOVE YZ and although i'm still getting into HM, I love it too.

What NIN would I put on right now?

1.HM
2.YZ
3.Broken/Fixed
4.Awitha Teetha
5.TS
6.TF
7.TDS
8.PHM
9.Ghosts

Mind you, that's not my all time ranking, just current based on my mood, what I've listened to recently etc. I ADORE every NIN release, but Ghosts is my least favorite.

Does anyone know if demo tracks have made it onto subsequent albums as finished tracks? Wishful thinking, I know, but I'd love to see what this demo would have looked like as a finished track.
Ghosts 38 became Demon Seed, that's about it really. Though we have demos for a few NIN tracks over the years, none were released prior to the album version.

And honourable mention to Magnetic and A Familiar Taste from TSN of course.

Some The Fragile and Tapeworm leftovers evolved into Niggy Tardust songs. This, and sheepdean's example above are pretty much the only examples that are supported by evidence. Anything else would be pure speculation (although I doubt there's anything, really)

If you count Tapeworm, I wouldn't be surprised if there's more out there than we know - Danny's always hinted he used it for score work, and if there was any music written by just TRAR from tapeworm, they could add it to a NIN song without having to add any credits.

i love richard patrick, and i love filter, but during his tenure in NIN, none of his guitar work was really that great. nothing he did was really unique or stood out; he just played the parts as written. that's not a dig on him, he's a solid musician. but what (other than your obsession with what you must think is the "golden era" of NIN) makes you honestly think he's a better guitar player than either aaron or robin?

sheepdean

10-15-2014, 05:34 PM

You know, I think being exactly what Trent writes worked then though. No, I don't think he's the best musician who's taken the role, but he worked great in that era exactly because he wasn't jumping everywhere making up riffs, he was playing note for note what people wanted to hear, at arguably the peak of NIN's popularity. I'd always take Finck for guitar, but I can see liking Patrick for what he did.

Richard has formed another band that has had some success...what exactly has Aaron done other than NIN? Pre and Post NIN he has done jack shit

Richard fit NIN perfectly, he was there since the beginning. His interaction with TR during the live shows helped change the culture of the NIN live show...Aaron running around on stage trying to make things look chaotic and crazy is just copping the same shit Richard did 15 years earlier

I don't care what anyone says, but Aaron North was my favorite guitarist Trent's ever had. I still love Robin, but I always thought what Aaron did was pretty special. He brought a sound to the music that it never had before and hasn't had since.

That's just my opinion. Feel free to hate as much as you like.
I totally agree; Aaron was like nobody else that's ever been in the band. So much fun to watch him play live, and it made each show unpredictable and unique.

Aaron North is great but after reading that article about his mental issues, watching him almost doesn't feel right anymore because it had to do with his mental state at the time and he wasn't just raging just for the entertainment of the fans. It's kinda scary. He definitely was a good fit for the band, though.

There are people who subscribe to email notifications from the 'NIN Spotting' thread and don't really care for updates on the inane chatter that follows a nice spotting.
Just sayin'.

it literally never occurs to me to do that, because i'm talking about something IN THAT THREAD. i don't even actually know how to reply to something with a quote in another thread. and i feel like that would make it convoluted and confusing, because you're responding to something that's in a different thread...but i don't want to be the jerk who people get pissed at because they're getting a bunch of e-mail notifications, so if someone tells me how to do it, i'll try to remember.

Augh! XD I remember that. I got a warning back before the overhaul because I answered a question in the NIN-Spotting thread that someone had posted and I was SO angry. I'd always tried to be a good member, so that really upset me to the time. (I remember complaining to Levi about it to no avail. XD) I don't care much anymore since that system doesn't exist anymore and that was a good eight years or so ago, but still.

RANDOM THOUGHT!

Do you think the days of maxi singles and remix albums are done? I'd always enjoyed hearing the multiple versions of songs from the NIN camp because they seemed to be alternate takes or conceptual follow-throughs of the same idea rather than someone taking a song and doing their own thing with it. They seemed to contain the same life that made the original songs, you know? That kind of stopped during/after the With Teeth era and I wonder if we'll ever get anything like that ever again.

I realize that remix albums don't exactly sell and singles aren't really a thing anymore (They happen, sure, and are still common in the dance world. I've got my copy of Porter Robinson's Spitfire right here. But it's not something you get in rock/metal/whatever NIN is these days with the way digital distribution is.) but it would still be nice to see TR and his buddies get together and really deconstruct a NIN album.

Of course, it's still pretty jarring, mentally, with all the soundtrack music. Once upon a time NINstrumentals were somewhat rare, coveted pieces of the catalog. A thing like Still was BIG. But since Ghosts, it seems like he and Atticus have really been laying down the instrumental tracks and it can be a bit overwhelming to sift through them at times. Again, not a complaint, but an observation. I don't churn over albums like I did when I was in high school/just graduated, so I guess I don't connect with things as easily, and I just haven't given the soundtracks the kind of play I did things like With Teeth and Year Zero. (Hell, I even played the piss out of HM, but I still don't think I've ever listened to TGWTDT all the way through in one sitting. That's three hours of music. I can't even listen to both sides of The Fragile in one sitting anymore. XD)

Just random thoughts/observations.

I guess technically the last one was Year Zero Remixed (no, I'm not typing out the stylized version :)), but yeah, other than Saul and Alessandro, I think that was mostly comprised of non-NIN ppl. I'd guess that future releases (if/when we get more NIN material) would be in the same vein as Seed 8 (Remix 2014 EP) rather than a full-length Halo.

i.e. Trent and co. probably won't release a full-length halo. But I'd love to be proven wrong! Vertigo mentioned above that it'd be awesome if the collaborators were the main remixers (which might bring out some of the deeper sounds/layers that they helped create, along with additional ideas that they would've liked to play with) -- couldn't agree more!

In other words, comments in NIN Spotting = drift.

Drift in NIN Spotting has always been heavily frowned upon on ETS. We've all been guilty of it (myself included, and I'm the original drift-hater), and I guess we should all try to refrain from doing it if at all possible, although I'm not an admin and try not to impersonate one.

It's very nice that we are now allowed to self-police, vs. back when the admins had to go all gestapo on us and slap warning bars on everybody and then impose post-limits to police it.

However, if Leviathant et al. wish that members would not drift in NIN Spotting, perhaps a tag suggestion should be added to the first post or something? Because right now, members aren't really given any guidance telling them that it's even mildly discouraged. And Leviathant has made it clear that other members shouldn't represent what the Admins want from the Board. ??

That leads to an abuse of inherent power that becomes very difficult to counteract.

The weird part is seeing the crowd of people who can't really rock out, since they are mostly either A) older ppl who just want to enjoy watching the show, or B) ppl who want to rock out but were told not to.

Also (this show is jogging my memory), looking back ~1 year, I feel very privileged to have seen the live debut of most of HM in St Paul at my first-ever NIN show. The WISH/BN debut was very powerful for me.

It will have to have new songs for me to buy it though, I'm not a completist or collector and don't really care about halos. It would be like buying a cd of some of my least favourite songs off every album. Even when it's something I love like closer, I still prefer ruiner or reptile off that album

Though both these things I guess would be inspired by Pink Floyd's Echoes (the collection, not the song), I always wondered if NIN would combine artwork eras/themes from the past in a greatest hits release, AND if Trent would connect the songs somehow to make them flow together.

I'm sure he has no intention of putting that much effort into a greatest hits release, but still, I think that would actually make it a pretty cool listen for us NIN-nerds. Though of course it'd also be fun if it just keeps getting put off the way it has been and NIN gets to be the one long-running band who's never caved and released a greatest hits.

sheepdean

10-23-2014, 01:58 AM

There is not, and probably never will be, a greater GH than Echoes, that to was exactly what one should be. But if TR was willing to do it (and make every collector have a seizure when we realise there's now another version of every single major nin song), it could be awesome.

No, Ogilvie mixed "Call Me Maybe" (http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep12/articles/it-0912.htm). That kick drum is straight out of his industrial rock toolkit. Quoth Dave: "I was trying to get the same feel in 'Call Me Maybe' as in a Nine Inch Nails song, making sure it had a pop sensibility, but with people not even noticing how aggressive the kick drum is."

I met James O'Barr at a comic convention today in Belfast and I asked him about the soundtrack to The Crow which he had a lot of influence over, as in, he hand-picked every track. He said that Nine Inch Nails were picked to cover Joy Division's 'Dead Souls' because they couldn't get the rights to the original song. However it took some arm twisting to get Trent to do the cover as Joy Division was scared ground for him. James said that Trent later said to him that that one song ended up making them more money than the sales of Pretty Hate Machine.

If you want to start talking about NIN songs that fit Halloween well, you can't just not mention Dead Souls! Plus the movie it's from, The Crow is a great Halloween watch.

The Becoming, Dead Souls, The Downward Spiral, The New Flesh, The Province of Fear, Demon Seed, the Broken movie, there's really a lot of things Trent's been involved in that fits pretty well. Lost Highway makes for a great watch too.

Come to think of it I'm a little surprised there's no NIN-related Halloween thread here.

Instrumentals are where Trent can really express himself, untainted by lyrics. And doing instrumentals seems to really free him creatively. I really hope we get Ghosts 5-8. More than any of his other material, Ghosts is a work of genius. I just hope he makes at least 1 massive opus of an instrumental that transforms and morphs with 100 layers of sound. Ghosts is so fun.

I don't think it necessarily means any sort of contract if he doesn't want one; didn't he say that the deal with Columbia was he showed up with HM finished, offered to let them distribute and promote it and that past that anything else would be optional/up to him? He could always just throw it out as another Null Co. release.

Could, but I think he defended going back to a label because doing it independently was too much work. I would imagine going back to a label for distribution and promotion seems appealing at point, plus the major financial incentive to tour the album for a year.

He sounds like he's in no hurry to tour again, financial incentives or no. And working with a label on his own terms is not the same thing as signing with a label the old-fashioned way. If he's smart, the only obligation he has is that greatest hits album for Interscope. ("Oops, I just recorded a whole album again. Better luck next time?")

I wouldn't complain if he spent the next ten years in his studio recording NIN/HTDA/whatever albums and taking naps every day. That's how I'd do it. :p

11-02-2014, 03:20 PM

It might be some sort of goodwill thing - Interscope could just shit out a GH album if they really wanted to. But, without new content on it, there's no selling point for it to make sense - NIN isn't Journey, after all, and merely scraping together a bunch of singles won't make you the kind of money that Interscope would want to see. Having new songs exclusive to it is where the real selling point comes from, and I'd imagine that they're waiting for Trent to come back to it and give them new material before they release anything. It certainly doesn't seem like he's contractually obligated to contribute to it, because they would never just let him take the two songs he made, build a record around them, and release it with some other label instead of them.

I was wondering too, it's not like the GH is owed to Columbia so they can postpone it due to HM, and as pally as he is with Iovine, Iovine no longer runs Interscope. At this point, Interscope could just do their own surely

It does seem that way, but the way he explained the 2013-14 tours was: album finished, contract with label signed, shows offered, world tours. If it is a new album he is working on, I expect it to play out the same way. If he really doesn't want to tour it, I will be really surprised. Unless it is a another collection of Ghosts or something similar. It feels like WG again. Just really don't want NIN/TR to do constant, "this might/will be the last tour" thing plenty of older acts do

I don't know if other acts do that due to hype reasons or just because they're unsure about the future (which can definitely be reasonable), but Trent definitely didn't build up hype with Tension or NIN/SG being maybe the last tour. He didn't even say anything until the tour was almost over and didn't really advertise it very well if that was the goal.

It's all speculation at this point, but if a new NIN album does come up fairly soon, I don't think there's much reason to be confident that NIN will tour when he has given pretty valid reasons for why he doesn't want to. Sure, Trent can change is mind, but it's not like it'd be surprising for him to do what he plans to do. (Shut up, Bill. :p) And it definitely wouldn't make sense for him to openly lie about it. I mean, it'd be better to just not say anything about it if he was thinking there was a good chance he might tour, like, 2015/2016. If he does do a world tour that soon, I know part of me will be thinking of it as the "Absent Father Tour". ;)

I totally forgot about Capital G. Really underrated track. It makes for excellent crowd participation when played live.

Also there's no doubt in my mind that NIN will return to doing a live show or two over the next year or two. I think Trent loves doing that shit too much to stop it completely, hence why he came back last year. Watching him during Copy of A at the show I saw in August, you could clearly tell he loved every second of that especially when the lights dropped and the crowd applauded it. It's probably a great feeling to put on an amazing stage show and get that reaction night in and night out.

In one of the many recent interviews, didn't he mention he wants to try and release a steady output of material instead of falling into the "release every two years" cycle? So it sounds like he's willingly trying to break the "studio/album release/tour" pattern, though of course, if he actually can remains to be seen.

Haha, was thinking about going to that show just cuz I kinda want to check Korn off the list at some point (have only been a casual fan, I'd say, but still wouldn't mind seeing them live when it's literally 10 mins away). Couldn't find anyone to go with and didn't want to wait in line solo, plus I don't consider myself a big enough Slipknot fan to justify it, so I nixed the idea.

Was actually pretty good- I'll give credit where credit is due, from a crowd stand point it was one of the most energetic shows I've ever been to.

Not a huge fan of either band but lean more towards Slipknot. I liked Korn better tonight though, SK came across way "cheesier" than I thought they would (the 2 percussionists on a rotating spring, pyro). Ugh, and I swear to fuck I'm gonna have nightmares of Cory Taylor screaming "Madison"- I swear the fucker said it minimum 200 times. Both bands sounded great- vocals, mix, not too loud, bass response, etc. Smallish arenas are some of the best venues to go to but was surprised at the above-average sound quality.

This was always one of my favorite highlights from Closure. I also enjoyed how a song like I Do Not Want This was also juxtaposed to Trent's playful and flippant side, and seeing him make that shot against the exit sign. Aside from the destruction of that room, I also liked how it kept reminding me of Mr Self Destruct, since it also has the words "I am an exit." in it. In that case, he was certainly an exit for the exit sign.

Random NIN narcissism: I wore one of my NIN shirts to last night's Run the Jewels concert. El-P gave it his stamp of approval on IG.

I made a small place for nin fonts. I know we have plenty of nin font pages out there but mine has a few that are hard to find. I know this isn't all that's out there, let me know if there's any I should add. P.S. I made this in about an hour, marvel at my extraordinary geocities-esque html skills.

The El-P remix of Only is my all time favorite NIN remix. Love that shit.

It is really good. I recently put in things falling apart and forgot about how awesome it is. Take away most if not all of the starfuckers remixes (not my thing) and it is almost perfect. The first three tracks are amazing. Slipping away is like, THE, quintessential nine inch nails sound to me, from start to finish. The great collapse rules, that opening piano line being one of my favorite nin "riffs" ever. The wretched remix is fucking great.....if the starfuckers remixes were swapped with the keith hildebrandt mix of "the fragile" and the jerome dillion "la mer", it would be the best remix album. Almost more of a companion album. It was some good listening.

at first I was like WTF what song is this! and then I realized its not NIN, but the sound is heavily influenced for sure.

Composer is someone called Emmett Cooke, and he makes soundtracks too. Him and TR should get together and make soundtrack magic.

honestly, that really doesn't sound much like NIN to me, more like newer gary numan, if anything.

the video, however, was INCREDIBLE.

"NIN" spelled backwards is "NIN"

I've figured. :p

Anyway, as I sometimes still like to make random guesses for which year a new Nine Inch Nails album would come out, I'd probably still guess somewhere between 2016-2018 at this rate from the looks of it. I'd go for late 2016 or early 2018. Early or mid 2017 wouldn't be that bad either. I suppose I just still have fun with this from time to time, especially after being pleasantly surprised by Year Zero, Ghosts I-IV and The Slip, while also being there to have endured some of the wait in between The Fragile and With Teeth.

So earlier on this page, I shared my crappy little font page. Well, nostalgia got the best of me and I ended up resurrecting (and overhauling) my old geocities NIN page entirely. I tried to keep it simple and just include things that people might find useful. Feedback/suggestions welcome.

I think it looks great for what it is, as some of those Nine Inch Nails sites I've used to look up for fun back in the early 2000s have vanished. This is just me, but it probably would be nice to have a Facebook page and a Twitter account of your site as yet another way to have it spread around faster these days.

why does Marilyn Manson use NIN symbol as his new logo?

The logo is a form of trolling.

Dear Mr. Manson,

I'm not sure if you realize, but your new logo looks like some old NIN logo according to some NIN super fans who think about NIN all the time and associate (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/threads/2863-NIN-Spotting-2014) practically (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/threads/139-Random-NIN-Thoughts) anything (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FanMyopia) with NIN. Please cease using this logo and, just to be safe, stop using the letter "M" in lowercase or uppercase. (It's totally ripping off the more awesome letter "N".)

Sincerely,
NIN super fans

That memo? :p
