Random NIN Thoughts

[implanted_microchip]

Now I'm Nothing should be the first song on the final NIN album

[Ryan]

Marilyn Manson has done that, but the problem is everything Trump says is more shocking than anything Manson could come up with

Haha good call.

[theimage13]

I was kinda hoping to wake up and see a surprise, angsty new NIN song for election day... :(

I listened to Year Zero start to finish as I was driving around today. Just to get me in the mood should things go one particular direction. I forgot how much I enjoyed that album as a full piece.

[sick among the pure]

I also listened to Year Zero today, as I went around my city documenting the election. Of course, in this shirt.

[Kulerage]

It seems I am not the only one that had the right idea to listen to Year Zero today. "In This Twilight" has become my official theme.

[BenAkenobi]

It seems I am not the only one that had the right idea to listen to Year Zero today...

You can bet there's a good chance that thousands of people listen to Year Zero at any given moment. Somebody sings along to "I am THEGREATDESTROYER" right now.

[sick among the pure]

Trent, we need some new NIN after what happened tonight. Please.

[opal]

Not sure why some of you absolutely want new NIN as a comment on what's going on in today's politics.

Yes, he did it with YZ and he's been voicing his opinion on politic affairs or world issues lately.

However, looking at the entire NIN catalogue, his art has mostly not been about this subject matter, but more about personal "issues".

For me, I'd prefer it to stay that way.

I wasn't necessarily wanting a political NIN song to be released yesterday...I just want SOMETHING released...and if election day got him fired up to do so, then I was for it!!

Hell, if random Thursdays piss him off...TR should hit that keyboard and let's have it tomorrow!! I need it!!

sounds like Robbie-boy has been hanging out with Richard Patrick,....Normally I wouldnt waste one second at that toolbags twitter but after reading it, it just confirms what I always thought about Sheridan....Smart move by Reznor keeping quiet, because he should look at his buddy Patrick whos already lost half his fanbase (whats left of them) with his political ramblings.... LMAO@ rob sheridan. maybe he can film a video crying with Miley Cyrus..

[BRoswell]

Rob has always posted political stuff. If you're just now noticing that, then that's on you, not him.

Also, most of his tweets post-election seem to be made with tongue firmly planted in cheek...unless you really believe he thinks grumpy old white men should be forced to vote with smartphones. :p

Robs employer and hero is a grumpy old white man. Has he forget Trent is over 50 years old. Rob doesnt represent the youth society either anymore, as sad as it must be for him to realize. What is he, like 40 now?

[Dr Channard]

Robs employer and hero is a grumpy old white man. Has he forget Trent is over 50 years old.

Trent is the new Jack Lemmon and Atticus is the new Walter Matthau. They’re both staring in the upcoming reboot of Grumpy Old Men, plus they’re doing the score for it as well. Can’t wait.

Is the election of someone like Donald Trump the perfect recipe to inspire Year Zero 2? A.K.A. Year One?

Or will it possibly create the right conditions to help reanimate the Year Zero TV series project from the dead?

I think Trent is more focused on looking after his kids, finishing off this other soundtrack (Patriot something or whatever it is) he's been working on, and a new, non-political single will be released on December 31.

Yeah I unfollowed him a few years ago over him having complete mental
breakdowns about guns, then followed for a month until he started being an elitist smug asshole and taking videos of people playing a cell phone game.

[Swykk]

I don't know. I personally agree with Rob on a lot. Pokémon was something I admit I never was into and having almost hit 4 dumbass kids (separate incidents) due to them just running into the street, not looking both ways, faces buried in their phones that 9 year olds have no business even having...I get Rob's point.

[billpulsipher]

I'm not on twitter but someone on there should tell Rob to stop crying like a bitch and release the NIN live video from 09 Bowery instead...Nobody cares about his personal opinions on anything. Just release NIN vids from the vault like the monkey in a cage he is

[bobbie solo]

good story ninjaw. Thanks.

Well I've already proved you wrong, Bill. Literally, in the post right above your trademark teen angst nonsense.

Here's to hoping Trent drops YZ2 before January 1st because that would be awesome AND because you'd whine about it incessantly. You know, exactly what you're accusing Rob of doing.

If he hates pokemon, I agree with him on that. I'm talking about his silly political tirades and rantings 24/7...theres at least 2 or 3 other people on this thread who already agreed with me on how Rob is a dick on his twitter with his tirades

still waiting for rob and richard patrick to do a video with miley crying because thats what they sound like...

[tony.parente]

I'm really starting to think bill is someone within the nin camp. I'm completely serious.

[BRoswell]

I'm talking about his silly political tirades and rantings 24/7...

24/7? Pre-election, he was barely posting. Post-election? Posting more, but far from 24/7, and at least half of those posts have been jokes.

And if you don't like it, STOP. FOLLOWING. HIM.

[ManBurning]

Huh, well that's interesting. I could have sworn that I read somewhere that the "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's" on Demon Seed were Alessandro. Now I can't seem to find that anywhere.... They certainly sound like him on the recording. Hmm...

Trent's music was getting kinda stale and predictable. Then he made a political album and it was the best thing he released in a decade. Year Zero 2 could be nice.

[fillow]

Actually Alessandro/The Slip story is not new. I remember Ally told this in some interview circa 2008/09.

So, basically it is not the best nin albums by fans, just a very small portion of it... (let me guess... those too young for 90's)

Seems to consistently top the fan polls I've seen, at least.

[niggo]

Seems to consistently top the fan polls I've seen, at least.

I agree. From my experience The Fragile is almost always second place.

[ninjaw]

One thing is very clear: All time greatests videos and singles are from TDS, trent played the whole TDS in a show. TDS is very clearly the nin masterpiece. But I always see ppl mentioning TF, just because there's 6 years between the albums, and basically they were too young and started to listen in 2000.... not only fans but many too young press writers too.
Funny or Scary, I noticed a whole new generation with the 2006 THTF single, popular because you can dance on it, and soft rebelion, easily touching young girls in goth dancing.
Yes TF is probably place 2 but you won't change place 1, not a chance.

Well, that sounds like a very narrow-minded opinion regarding personal taste. I was born in '92 and started listening to NIN around 2009/2010, so by your logic I'm too young to appreciate TDS (spoiler: TDS is my favorite NIN album).

TDS definitely is a masterpiece — but so is TF. And I would definitely not argue with anyone whose most favorite album is TF. Totally legit and has nothing to do with being "too young".

I see what you mean, it's ok to have a favorite album, it's another thing to say that everyone's favorite is one that clearly isn't ... or being totally wrong on the nin history that really starts in 2000, if you work at press... It's a human thing unfortunaly to focus on his own world.

[buckaroo]

So, basically it is not the best nin albums by fans, just a very small portion of it... (let me guess... those too young for 90's)

I have been a fan since PHM and TF is by far my favorite album. Don't get me wrong, TDS is an amazing album, but I don't think it has aged as well as TF. When it came out it was by far the greatest thing I had ever heard. I listened to that album so many times. I just find these days it is the album I listen to the least. I think there have been many, many better songs in the catalog since then.

I do prefer the "sound" of TDS. I think that is the best sounding album nin has released and I wish future releases would go back to that more organic vs. electronic sound. Also, that was the best time period as far as releases... best remixes, singles, videos... in that regard nin has really dropped the ball since (with the exception of And All That Could Have Been which was awesome).

[Deepvoid]

I think the Year Zero era was a great one for the fans. Yes, NIN has been lacking in the music video department but the truth is, videos are costly and really don't serve a purpose anymore, especially for a band like NIN.

The complementary remix album following each release was really fun back in the days. I'm not even gonna acknowledge Seed Eight as it feels like a throwaway release.
Look NIN, as an entity, as evolved through the years and yeah, you're gonna lose fans and win some. I've learned to just accept what NIN is now and see what Trent has up his sleeve next.

[billpulsipher]

Every band has that 1 album that is the arty, "cool" album that the casual fan doesn't get into, so when fans namedrop it as their favorite album, it shows their hardcore cred. Usually these albums gain credibility as the years go by. Mr. Bungle "Disco Volante", The Cure "Pornography", Bowie's "Low", Depeche Mode "Songs of Faith & Devotion" etc...for NIN, that album is 'The Fragile'...

This is one of those things that really puzzles me though, the fact that TDS is the biggest selling NIN album because I would think it would be the most difficult for the casual music fan to get into. How would they even get past Mr Self Destruct??? I know the Fragile is long but it isn't so hard and intense right from the beginning.

TDS is WAY more out-there and "artsy." Half of TF is pretty much straight forward pop structured songs. The only reason TDS sells so well is because of Closer and Hurt and even as singles those are pretty weird compared to Into the Void, We're In This Together and Starfuckers, Inc.

[billpulsipher]

because the people who bought TDS for "Closer" or 'Hurt" and got shocked when they heard the rest of the album were long gone by the time TF came along....

I also think history will make TDS as the most important and influential NIN album, but that doesn't remove anything from TF and the relevance of picking it as a favorite over TDS.

[BenAkenobi]

... history will make TDS as the most important and influential NIN album...

Is history required to choose only one record per any musician or band and put all other aside? Like, 100 years forward, will people speak of music from 1990s and occasionally mention that small dead nine inch nails project and its breakthrough the downward spiral and that's it, nada? That's horrible... If nothing else, PHM belongs in that position :p

[fillow]

If Trent ever did a nin album with guest vocalists, I’d definitely like to hear Kenny Hickey do some vocal work with nin.

I've been wanting to make this video for a while. I added Leaving Hope and The Persistence Of Loss to the ending of One Hour Photo to see how it works, and I think it works really well. See for yourself.

the downward spiral 2008 US pressing on 180g vinyl (purchased from the NIN store)
definitely the best sounding out of the pressings i have (also have the 1994 original US promo pressing and 2008 EU "back to black" pressing, both are for sale)
my only complaint is that they still didn't change the track segue issues (the intro of "i do not want this" is stuck on the side that ends with "the becoming", the intro of "reptile" is stuck on the side that ends with "eraser")

[Arcspiral]

I get that everyone's pining for a Fragile re-release on vinyl, but how on earth have Further Down the Spiral and Still not found their way to that format? I can't even fathom how amazing it would be to hear "Leaving Hope" or "Self Destruction, Final" on vinyl. Surely, Trent has the masters for these...

So Trent went for a different mix for The Fragile on vinyl. Any suggestions why he hasn't done so for other albums? Artistic or business reasons?

FormatsReznor on the different track sequencing for different formats:

"Hello everybody. I've been doing a lot of European press lately and they've been mentioning the various configurations of 'the fragile' and wondering if there was a reason (other than to make the hard-core fan buy them all) to have some different tracks on them.

If you're curious, here's why. We agonized over the sequencing of the record and focused solely on the CD config. as the definitive one. After the decision was made to move to two CDs the problem then became removing tracks to get the right feel and flow.

Taking the new flesh' off the CD was a tough call because Alan and myself really like the track, but it destroyed the balance and it just didn't fit.

When we assembled the cassette, we now had four beginnings and endings to contend with instead of two of each (for the CD) follow? It worked out pretty well just dividing the songs up, but we wanted the A sides of the cassettes to be slightly longer than the B sides (so that when the tape flips over you are not in the middle of the first song on that side). We added the 'appendage' to 'please' to make that work.

For the vinyl, the decision to move to three discs was based on fidelity. (you can only fit so many minutes on a side of vinyl before it degrades the sound)

So now we are faced with SIX beginnings and endings. Simply splitting the sides up didn't work as well this time so we decided to include the other two tracks we had been considering ('10 miles high' and 'the new flesh') as well as use the full unedited versions of all the other songs on the record. The vinyl sequencing has actually grown on me lately as a viable alternate! -just thought you might want to know…"

Yeah, i've read that, it's just intriguing to think - would he do that again if the recording was big enough, or, thanks to "digital age", it's a thing of the past.

I think he would do it. I would hope that any artist who cares about how their art is experienced would take the time to prepare it properly for each medium it will be available for. He did it with Welcome Oblivion and that was after digital and streaming had gained popularity. He also attempted to do something with Hesitation Marks by offering a "audiophile" version that is specific to digital. The content is the same, but the experience is different.

Taking the new flesh' off the CD was a tough call because Alan and myself really like the track, but it destroyed the balance and it just didn't fit.

When we assembled the cassette, we now had four beginnings and endings to contend with instead of two of each (for the CD) follow? It worked out pretty well just dividing the songs up, but we wanted the A sides of the cassettes to be slightly longer than the B sides (so that when the tape flips over you are not in the middle of the first song on that side). We added the 'appendage' to 'please' to make that work.

For the vinyl, the decision to move to three discs was based on fidelity. (you can only fit so many minutes on a side of vinyl before it degrades the sound)

So now we are faced with SIX beginnings and endings. Simply splitting the sides up didn't work as well this time so we decided to include the other two tracks we had been considering ('10 miles high' and 'the new flesh') as well as use the full unedited versions of all the other songs on the record. The vinyl sequencing has actually grown on me lately as a viable alternate! -just thought you might want to know…"
—Reznor [5] (http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xart180.shtml)



I applaud Reznor for making each version of the Fragile unique to each of its formats. But there's no way he'll ever put that much effort and thought into making unique versions for various formats with future releases.

If he does, that will be wonderful.

Like buckaroo mentioned, we can probably only expect audiophile versions and maybe surround sound versions.

on a side note: 1 and a half more weeks until the big announcement.

[SchwarzerAbt]

I'd love the new NIN to feel more analog again. On Hesitation Marks analog synthesizers were used, yet the album had quite a digital and clean sound.

Nothing against that, I enjoyed it very much. But I think it would be a nice change to have new material sound more raw again. Not in the meaning that it should be recorded and released straight away, I almost always prefer elaborate albums with many thought put into. More a sonical kind of raw. If that makes any sense...

[witte]

i'm afraid it won't happen. if it would happen we would know it from other musicians who should be involved.

[billpulsipher]

I'd like to take this moment to offer an apology for my abhorrent Kanye West suicide post the other day and the legion of ets users I offended (sarah k and roswell most likely) If you people (sarah and roswell most likely) thought I was seriously encouraging suicide? dear god I can only imagine what you thought of the time Trent told an entire blog to kill themselves by offering "cutting tips" to his haters. Shocked you still listened to his records after he encouraged suicide to thousands of people. Regardless, I dont want Kanye to kill himself. Hes a wonderful person. I dont encourage suicide too anyone. Like curtis armstrong said in Better Off Dead to John Cusack. "suicide is never the answer little trooper"...Like the president elect Trump says. I hope we can move past this divisiveness. I am sorry to anyone I offended. I will never badmouth the great Kanye West ever again on these boards

I caught the Austin City Limits show on tv the other day. With no tension release im glad i have a decent quality video of those songs with that lineup. Never saw it before and thankful they did the While im still here/black noise combo. Fucking amazing. My only gripe is Pino couldve been a little louder in the mix.

Not really though. The Sunspots outro isn't on the rehearsal and didn't appear until later in the tour.

Still, it's available in soundboard quality from Austin City Limits and the Staples Center show. Isn't that good enough?

[ChipRock]

speaking of the ACL show...

Because of all the great work done by various NIN fans I just assumed you'd be able to get high quality audio from the original broadcast. Considering the full stream is no longer available I guess there is still a rights issue - does anybody know about such things? I'd imagine that Trent would keep some control over what happens to that film beyond the initial release. Anyway... I see that some individual songs are on YT in higher quality than the full-length version previously mentioned. Also there are video clips via the ACL website (http://acltv.com/episode/season-40/nine-inch-nails/). I know you're after audio, but these days it's not too difficult to work out a way around that.

Listening back to these has lead me back to the official streaming Tension video. It's not bad, is it? Of course it won't match the DVD/BD we were hoping for, but it's a lot better than nothing. I'm still hopeful that we'll see more from the Vienna recording one day - even if it's limited to streaming or download. Does any other artist have such a stockpile of unreleased pro-shot footage? I wonder.

Yeah, because a rip of a YouTube video of the entire show will have the songs broken down into separate files, with proper tagging, etc.

I'll see what I have on my PC when I get home, I don't have the audio from the show on my phone but if it was made available when the video files were out I probably grabbed it.

[Frozen Beach]

Austin City Limits is on Rutracker as a .ts file (it's 4.42 GB)
You'll have to to make an account though (it's in Russian but it's not that hard to figure out and it's a decent site anyway)
Also, seems to be 6 channels but lossy. I think there are ways to split AC-3 without reencoding.

I have a rip, too. Don't know where I ripped it from, but it's definitely better than a 240p stream. I also added the songs that weren't included in the official broadcast (e.g. Satellite, which was upped seperately on Vimeo).

I'm also not at home but will look into it when I am.

Might find a better cost elsewhere too, but I looked at a few sites. There's also a yellow version (2000 limited) but it's probably sold out everywhere by now. I'm assuming the NIN one is the normal version too, because it doesn't say anything.

[ninjaw]

Now that we detected a ridiculous noob that never heard about youtube, and an asshole with double compression, keeping it for himself, I managed to make my own rip, because obviously we are missing it, this is a pure rip from original feed and the vimeo bonus, yes, that is really small : 86.8MB but believe it or not it's better that the asshole rip ! why ? because there isn't two destructive compressions, just one, the one applyed by ACL, cut using non destructive tools.

01 - All time low
02 - Sanctified
04 - Came back haunted
05 - Copy of A
06 - The frail
07 - The wretched
10 - Satellite
13 - The big come down
14 - Survivalism
16 - In this twilight
17 - While I'm Still Here - Black Noise
18 - Hurt
19 - Interview

Plz note that I wanted to keep original setist track numbers to reflect missing songs, also for now I couldn't add ID3TAGs, looks like these are still AAC and not M4A, I'll put the right container later.
PS: This is not 5.1 rip as i said before but a stereo, i'm not sure a 5.1 rip would be usefull ? This is an internet feed perfect rip.

I would take even just a solid update at this point. It is our fault I guess for being obsessive fans, but honestly... to claim new nin this year and almost a year later the only update is basically "when it's ready, we'll release it." The best gift would be for me not to feel like there might be news everyday.

Man, the older it gets the deeper my appreciation for WITH_TEETH grows. Been listening to it all week, and looking back it’s easily one of the best rock albums to come out of the 00’s decade, at least in my opinion. All The Love In The World is an absolute treasure of an album opener. The live performance of The Line Begins to Blur was a highlight on the supporting tour. The only nitpick I have is that one of the best songs to come from nin in the last 16 years, Non-Entity, didn’t make the album.

As much as I enjoy Pino Palladino's monstrous musical abilities, when it comes to the live resurrection of Sanctified, I prefer Josh's (and, later, Ilan's) steady, sturdy, repetitive bassline than Pino's noodling. Ilan added a little bit of variety in the 2014 tour. There was something magical when it was first brought back from the dead on the first 2013 live performance in Tokyo, right after Copy of A. The lights went all dark, and the drum loop kicks in, and then Josh begins playing the bassline (though he almost fucked it up, and that's natural, since it was his first live stint with NIN ever), and then Trent sings some familair lyrics, and then layers and layers of synths, and then... boom.

In 10 years, the Reznors will be the new Partridge Family.*

*I am sure I'm not the first to make that joke.

He wants people to be patient. "That will be part of the reveal," he says. "I don't want to spoil it. If I'm interested in a film, I prefer not to watch the trailer "

[ManBurning]

That's EXACTLY how I am. If I know I'm going to go watch a film, I'm going to skip the trailer. They ruin the whole movies these days anyway. Trailers used to have a certain mystery to them back in the day. Now they just show everything in the whole trailer.

[witte]

Most important is, not to behavior like a spoiled child and constantly begging for a new album all the time. There's a lot of activity the last months, so patience is thé word.
My only concern: 'more quantity often means less quality'

[eversonpoe]

i NEVER like to talk about their kids, but i'm just going to say that Nova Lux is one of the coolest names i've ever heard for a human being.

I called it "the Reznor family Funtime Band" on twitter

Not of you want to be a banker or a lawyer it's not.

He's left us waiting a whole year though, he can't accuse us of impatience

[Khrz]

Well we've been bitching and moaning for a while, but I guess we had to pass the time...

[sick among the pure]

Well we've been bitching and moaning for a while, but I guess we had to pass the time...

We're NIN fans, we bitch and moan the day after the album comes out that we want more. Album just dropped? When's the tour? When's the second leg of the tour? When's the international tour? When's the last leg around clubs in the US? When's the follow up remix album? When's the next album after that? When's merch available online? No, the merch from the shows, when is THAT available online? The UK artwork is better, why do you hate us Trent?

Some of my very best friends are hardcore NIN fans like myself, but as a whole, we are CONSTANTLY bitching and moaning at Trent...

You're forgetting the most important things about tour.
1. Who is that on bass and why is not Danny Lohner?? Bring back Danny Lohner!
2. WHY U NO PLAY THE PERFECT DRUG?

[Kulerage]

Here's my daughter Halo 10v2!!
Halo 10v2 is International Further Down The Spiral. Are you implying something?

[rampface]

Is there any sort of "official" or collection of remixes from The Slip?

Also, ToToM made an excellent mashup album called "The Shup".

[rampface]

Cool I'll look it up. Just looking for something to add to my iTunes library since I have remixes for every other album.

Clearly you haven't been an NIN fan for very long if you think a year is too long to wait. Be careful - Trent may look and see your comment and decide to shelve the whole thing and not say a word about it ever again. I offer exhibit A: http://www.nin.com/pub/tension/

[sick among the pure]

Yeah, if it's anything less than 5 years since the last album, it's within the normal timeline range. 5-6 years, time to get antsy. 7+ years is acceptable impatience time as far as NIN releases are concerned.

[Shadaloo]

Sometimes I think Trent sits and plays anime fighting games, sees something in a special move list, and goes "This would be a good name for a person."

No disrespect meant, and sincerest congratulations, of course.

Now to sit and wait patiently for...Something (imagining that word in the old Nothing font)

I've been a fan since 1992, but I'm afraid the internet has made me a less patient person

[allegro]

I dig the translation.


Nova Lux (Latin "New Light")

Latin is "novus," feminine nominative singular is "nova"

I initially read that they named the baby "Nova Lox" and I thought maybe they conceived the baby in a deli.

nova in latin is the feminine iteration, i.e. novus = male, nova = female

[allegro]

nova in latin is the feminine iteration, i.e. novus = male, nova = female

Latin is REALLY fucking weird and complicated

Novum is:
neuter nominative singular of novus
masculine accusative singular of novus
neuter accusative singular of novus
neuter vocative singular of novus

Nova is also:
neuter accusative plural of novus
neuter vocative plural of novus

And then there's this:

If that’s what inspired the name, I guess it’s a good thing for the child’s sake that Trent doesn’t drive a Jalopy.

[allegro]

I think Prius was already taken.

Jeesus is thats Trents car? I had no idea he was into that type of thing! :)

Wait, did we even find out the name of the third one yet?

No, and we don't need to.

Im very much intrigued. What was there?

[SchwarzerAbt]

I could see it for a short time. Looked like Trent Reznor's first attempt at Japanese Hip Hop. Was deleted, probably he didn't get the pronounciation right...

Discogs got a bunch of "releases" added by a spammer (track titles and extra info hinted at some sort of gambling site).

[fillow]

Japanese Hip Hop, you say?

managed to grab a screenshot of the release on the "upcoming releases" section of my home page. the links are dead and the user has been removed, but it's still showing up there for some reason.

[botley]

Those are glitches in the database. I've observed other artists have 'unofficial' releases added there and then quickly removed.

No, you wouldn't be saying that if you observed what that particular spammer did. It affected a lot of different artists (added pictures of japanese women as cover art too) and I reported the fucker.

yeah, it was someone intentionally spamming discogs and trying to promote this weird online casino website.

[botley]

You'd think that they would have some kind of spam filter on the database to prevent such a thing from entering peoples' dashboard feeds, but here we are.

About 6 months ago a use submitted about 100 different releases that were all pictures of expensive cars, and the track lists were all in Chinese or something, It was a huge pain in the ass.

New NIN and Star Wars all in one day it's a Christmas Miracle!
