"Everything" debuts on BBC1/TR-Zane Lowe Interview (8.19.13)

[slave2thewage]

[ADMIN EDIT]Listen to a higher quality stream at NPR: http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2013/08/19/213497724/new-music-nine-inch-nails-earl-sweatshirt-juana-molina-more[/ADMIN EDIT]

Interview with Zane Lowe taking place in an hour and looks like the debut of "Everything" afterwards.

I don't want to listen to Zane Lowe :(

Live stream here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03857j8

[brokenfragility]

So discussion is moved here now, well I have a feeling the song is going to KICK ASS

[thefragile_jake]

Listening at work! Looking forward to this, anyone planning on taping?

[thefragile_jake]

I'm actually digging the songs so far....I love this Daft Punk track.

[pukkelpop]

wow, just wow. painful

[Scarlet Siren]

I can recall the past two times I listened to Radio 1. Trent was on both times...

[Bokononist]

Someone's been browsing ETS.

[Kyle]

Is he reading this thread? lol

[brokenfragility]

He yelled at us :(

[pukkelpop]

if you cant handle the mic, take yur hands of yur dick

[Scarlet Siren]

wow, just wow. painful

That's just putting it mildly!

[NIN64]

So I turn on the stream. There's a song I actually enjoy (Daft Punk). Zane stops the music for a moment to make a wry comment. WTF?

Seriously, stop talking over the music. . .

[thefragile_jake]

Zane, we're totally okay with disco. We love "Only".

[brokenfragility]

I actually like the song, if he would STOP TALKING OVER IT WTF KIND OF RADIO SHIT IS THAT

[Kyle]

Also, disco was bad enough the first time. Fuck Daft Punk.

[telee.kom]

AM were good, not really digging this new Daft Punk Lowe

[brokenfragility]

apparently the TR interview is not pre-taped. He said "live in the studio"

[Scarlet Siren]

I'll be back at 7:55.

Would rather be packing.

[HurtinMinorKey]

Never heard of Zane before. Now that I'm listening, he sounds like a total clown.

[broevol]

My problem is I can't tell the difference between music and a crappy commercial.

[rampface]

I don't have time to listen to the music. Just want the interview!

[brokenfragility]

I switched from low quality to high quality in the stream, and this song got worse.

[trollmanen]

I got connected through VPN and am recording the stream with Wiretap.

[Porkins]

hey Zane, http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VCsqWxa1ENQ/TZI2HmpA6pI/AAAAAAAACUk/jQfDtz-68mg/s400/YOU-ARE-BAD-AND-YOU-SHOULD-FEEL-BAD.jpg

[telee.kom]

Yeah I would be glad if they started already, I'm going out in less than hour. I'm not sure if I understand him correctly, but he said Trent interview will be starting at 8? Which means in the other half of the show?

[dbrekke]

That's his thing, he ALWAYS talks over the music and cuts songs short. It is rather painful. Imagine if he did that to a NIN track he was debuting?!? Murder.

[jesus]

so he confirmed it live, and if they premier a new single I'm recording now

[Mr.Metheus]

So... is the interview in 40 minutes, or when? The music hasn't been bad so far but this guy is really annoying and I could use a shower.

[gorast]

Interview starts at 8 (~35 min from now), for half an hour. If anyone still thought this was the In Conversation With... interview, then that settles it.

[Kamelion]

30 mins, live. Should be good.

[slave2thewage]

Zane was broadcasting from where I study a few months ago. I refused to go in that day because I knew I'd slap him in the face.

[jesus]

So... is the interview in 40 minutes, or when? The music hasn't been bad so far but this guy is really annoying and I could use a shower.

LMAO ..... He said 30 min long interview

[[parasite]]

i'll record too

[ObviousParadox]

i'll record too

awesome, because this is painful

[pukkelpop]

please someone record only the song, i dont need this guy again..

[HurtinMinorKey]

That's his thing, he ALWAYS talks over the music and cuts songs short. It is rather painful. Imagine if he did that to a NIN track he was debuting?!? Murder.

The most egregious example of this I can remember when they did this during the Pink Floyd reunion for Live Aid, smack in the middle of the Comfortably Numb guitar solo. I hucked a beer and I put a crack in my friends TV screen.

[thevoid99]

Oh man, I remember that. I was so into what was happening and then those fuckheads on VH1 ruined the moment when they talked and I was fucking livid. So was my dad who was happy to see the Floyd reunite for one night.

[chicken-royal]

Forgot just how poor Radio 1 is now.

[jesus]

so this music is bad but I think a Reznor interview and premier of new song doesnt happen everyday..."Everything" is worth this sacrifice

[martin_b]

"welcome to the future!" ;-)

[pukkelpop]

Damn, are we lucky with our "nr 1" state radio

[brokenfragility]

so this music is bad but I think a Reznor interview and premier of new song doesnt happen everyday..."Everything" is worth this sacrifice

Whatever you say, Jesus.

[gorast]

What're the chances Everything shows up on Soundcloud within the hour after it premieres? That's what happened with Keep it together, right? (Anyone remember HTDA?)

[_minus]

Zane, we're totally okay with disco. We love "Only".

I went to twitter to let him know there are some disco fans among us. Then he shouted me out.

[martin_b]

Is some-Eminem-shit is playing right now? *

* if the above is correct, it's better to pray that TR will not be so pissed as he was during the Belgium show. ;-)

[ManOfAtom]

Say what you like about Zane, and I see you all are, but he's one of he most enthusiastic champions of the music he plays on the radio. He plays the stuff he likes, he's not got a playlist. When premiering tracks (as he frequently does like this) he's been known to play the tracks two or even three times. I don't think he'd get the exclusives if he didn't give a shit as much as he clearly does.
He does some great documentary content in this slot too, there's a brilliant one about Songs For The Deaf.

[pukkelpop]

Zane seems quite a Eminem fan. Could get interesting if we could put the Eminem/Pukkelpop/Nin-fiasco in this program..

[Kamelion]

QFT. I am not the target demographic for Radio 1 but Zane is a good bloke who loves his music and has always been a supporter of NIN at a time when the BBC flat out ignores anything outside the mainstream. Tastes in DJing styles differ, but Zane has more than earned his stripes.

[jesus]

my internet conection is failing ... damn

[brokenfragility]

He better not talk over "Everything" like he is doing with everything else. (ahh this song title can be so confusing)

[telee.kom]

Trent should punch him in the face if he's going to talk over Everything

[jesus]

maybe after the premier "Everything" will be in soundcloud... or even in nin store

[hani]

ok, so when does the interview start?

[brokenfragility]

ok, so when does the interview start?

8:00 (London time) or in 14 minutes.

[fuchal]

I don't know how common it a actually is, but DJs talking over songs is something I always hear when I listen to UK radio streams. It drives me nuts.

[gorast]

ok, so when does the interview start?

Thirteen minutes.

[Kamelion]

ok, so when does the interview start?

Never. It has been cancelled.


OK, fine. 8pm gmt.

[Kyle]

This is the shit that I suffer through.

[Bokononist]

I was under the impression that the censorship laws in the UK were looser than this.

[hani]

what the fuck we're listening to?? get your shit together zane lowe. play music man.

[_minus]

He better not talk over "Everything" like he is doing with everything else. (ahh this song title can be so confusing)

Don't worry, Zane doesn't talk over new tracks. In fact, he generally plays new tracks 2-3 times in a row because he gets obsessed with those tracks.

[jesus]

10 minutes :D

[jesus]

did he said "Trent Reznor is in the building?" :D

[gorast]

For a second I thought he said "Your God, my God, Trent Reznor"

Right on the mark, Zane, right on the mark.

[BenAkenobi]

just realizing... have to begin writing something due for local paper tomorrow issue and i'm going to fail so hard because all my thoughts are now tuned to this new nin song about to air and nothing else. god i'm screwed.

[orobinec]

He said something like "NIN fans, 30 minutes in the company of your God"…

[Kamelion]

I was under the impression that the censorship laws in the UK were looser than this.
We have "watershed" rules - after 9pm, things loosen up considerably. Before that it's supposed to be clean.

[jesus]

after this song, right?

[brokenfragility]

every time I try to put the stream in high quality it bumps it back to low.....WTF

[Mr.Metheus]

Okay, that's pretty cool. I figured he couldn't be all that bad if TR was giving him an interview and a premier.

[dzaver]

a lot of crap music on this show...

[broevol]

when did Artists actually stop trying?

[_minus]

Don't you dare be saying Kendrick doesn't try. That fucker goes hard.

[pukkelpop]

who cares about what happened on Pukkelpop, feel free to suggest this question to https://twitter.com/zanelowe aswell :o

[martin_b]

"I'm fragile..." - cool "reference" to TF. ;-)

[ManOfAtom]

you sound like the oldest bunch of dudes ever, moaning about music on the radio ffs!

[chicken-royal]

Here we go!

[jesus]

recording :D

[martin_b]

Here we go!

[gorast]

Trent is on now.

[tony.parente]

What in the everliving fuck is wrong with this dude?

[hani]

"the issue was that we SUCKED"

[gorast]

Addressing Pukkelpop right off the bat, Zane doesn't fuck around.

[icklekitty]

Like, you know when you go on a date with someone, and they're sucking up to you so badly over every little thing and seething with desperation that you don't even want to finish dinner, you just want to throw up in their face and leave? I imagine this is how it feels to be interviewed by Zane Lowe.

[echoespaul]

His sniffing is doing my head in.

[pukkelpop]

Addressing Pukkelpop right off the bat, Zane doesn't fuck around.
never seen more NIN shirts actually.. we were there, it was so crowded we couldnt move.
we started moshpits , then we got a lot of crying Eminem girls.
i think if a lot NIN fans deserved a full set we (a few Thousands) were(with standing through Fall out Boy and with E-fans) ? oh well, most of us are also going to Rock en Seine (shit, also a start in daylight)...

[Porkins]

I really wish Lowe would not feel the compulsion to say something every minute

[slave2thewage]

Stop interrupting, zane.

[jesus]

hahahahah I think Trent isn't comfortable with this guy

[Bokononist]

So now Zane's playing music while Trent's talking. Nice.

[brokenfragility]

ha ha haunted

[peter]

looooooove it. new order all the way!

[broevol]

Well that just made me throw up in my mouth. I felt like I was being punked. At least now I know I can bring my 8 year old little girl to a NIN concert.

[TheRealNs1]

this new song is terrible. I can't stand behind this.

it's like, all the wrong parts of "God Given" + "Disciplined" combined into one uber terribad song.

I kept hitting f5 so the forums would come back up so I could post this; my disappointment can barely be contained.

[EndlessLoveless]

Fucking awesome song. Zane is a fucking tool. Wow that guy sucks...

There is your 'drilling guitars' that some people have been complaining about missing. Cant wait for this album even more.....

[cahernandez]

A happy-sounding song in a NIN album. Didn't see this one coming, I liked it, but I think Disappointed, Find My Way and Copy of A are better.

[halo33]

..and now for something completely different.

[ataxia]

Thank god ETS was down when that premiered. Let's just say I like it a lot more now than I did then. Good song.

[Mark Fraser]

I reserve the right to change my mind in the future, but as of right now I am of the view that "everything" is the worst NIN song ever (and by a large margin).

I've liked every other song played thusfar so one shit song isn't the end of the world, I just hope that the rest of the album is better.

[TheDavidMurphy]

Well that was... unexpected. I hope this is the point in the fall concert tour when trent and robin kick beach balls into the crowd.

[TheRealNs1]

Addressing Pukkelpop right off the bat, Zane doesn't fuck around.


So what happened, for those of us who couldn't listen in...

[nobies]

I LOVE this new song. A little Cure, a little New Order, a little MBV, with just a sprinkle of Madonna's "Ray of Light" on top.

Might be the boldest thing Trent has attempted since, well....Year Zero.

[Digital Twilight]

Not the kind of song I expected on a NIN album but I like it. so what if it sounds a little 'happy'? I love the fact he can keep surprising you after all these years. It'll be interesting to see how this fits in with the rest of the album.

[JessicaSarahS]

Thank god ETS was down when that premiered. Let's just say I like it a lot more now than I did then. Good song.

Agreed. :D

[halo33]

wasn't it noted somewhere that Everything was one of the "2 new songs" that he was originally going to submit to the greatest hits package? with that in mind, it kind of makes sense.

[screwdriver]

I'm sort of torn between quite liking the sounds and my bloody valentine-esqueness of the whole thing, and wanting to set my headphones on fire

mission accomplished, I guess? the only way to really be abrasive to nin fans...

[The Reason Being]

Smiled from ear to ear while that was being premiered. 80's vibes all the way. Couldn't help but laugh though as this is gonna piss a lot of people off! Haha Trent, don't ever stop. Love it.

[witte]

The interview was fine.
Important news is that NIN will be back in Europe around april with about the same visual/show/arena tour

[BRoswell]

The song caught me off guard at first, but listening to it again, I kind of dig it. The lightness reminded me of the Zoo Station cover, which I really enjoyed. I'm sure its going to piss a lot of fans off though.

[TheRealNs1]

Well that was... unexpected. I hope this is the point in the fall concert tour when trent and robyn kick beach balls into the crowd.

the screens will part and The Flaming Lips will appear to perform their new hit single "Everything".

[Volk]

heh, the immediate hatred for new NIN songs always amuses me. Personally, I like it. We're also getting it out of context of the album, and I could see this being pretty cool live. Guess you can't please everyone, and I don't think Trent is remotely interested in doing that anyway.

[TheRealNs1]

This song is to my ears what the "Came Back Haunted" video was to my eyes.

[Collin]

Whoa, those verses are easily the poppiest thing Trent has ever recorded. When his vocal first came in, I was taken aback. The vocal melody is so immediate, it's weird. The chorus is decidedly noisy and unpopy, though. Interesting track. I don't know how I totally feel about it yet. It will help to hear it in full quality.

[JessicaSarahS]

So what happened, for those of us who couldn't listen in...

Zane asked what went wrong at Pukkelpop. Trent joked that they sucked, then went on to explain about the daytime lighting interfering with the light show, and that most of the fans were there for Eminem and not NIN. He did clarify that he likes Eminem. (All paraphrased, of course.)

[ryanj101]

I reserve the right to change my mind in the future, but as of right now I am of the view that "everything" is the worst NIN song ever (and by a large margin).

I've liked every other song played thusfar so one shit song isn't the end of the world, I just hope that the rest of the album is better.

Yeah, I have to agree...this has taken the spot of The Collector for me...for some reason I had it in my head this was going to be a super-negative "everything sucks" song...not "everything is coming up roses."

[Fixer808]

Despise it <------------------ *nobody* ------------------> Love it

[BrokenSpiral]

Well that was different. Didn't quite expect that. Hmm. Need to hear it in better quality/headphones.

[witte]

And...oh yeah. The new song sucks. REALLY!
Is this the challenge as a musician to create such a song?
I don't get this. sorry.

[slave2thewage]

Give me your tears, ETS!!!

[TheDavidMurphy]

We're also getting it out of context of the album, and I could see this being pretty cool live.

I suppose that's a fair point. It's tough when one's caught up in "omg new song" frenzy.

[hani]

at first, I was shocked. later on, I still couldn't put my finger on it. after 4 listens, I decided I like it. I mean it's definitely not your usual NIN song, it's unlike anything TR has ever done, but hey, maybe he doesn't want to be depressive 24/7, and this one is kinda nice. I'm glad he won't stick to his 'wanna kill myself' schtick for the rest of his life

[LOVEANDZOMBIES]

Better Quality: http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2013/08/19/213497724/new-music-nine-inch-nails-earl-sweatshirt-juana-molina-more#playlist

[thefragile_jake]

Ok....so here's a long drawn out reasoning as to why I love this...

Is it poppy? You bet....but it reminds me of certain parts on other bands I love like My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr. It's got this optimistic tone to it but the rushing guitar chords and drums have a underlying almost anxiety to them. The whole song has this "I really went through some horrible shit, but ended up okay on the other side" vibe to it. For whatever reason...at work today, I was caught up in emotion listening to this. Maybe it's because I feel kind of the same way, at 26...although I haven't experienced "Everything"...I still feel like many positive and negatives have caught up with me. I'm unsure where I'm at in my life, but I know that I'm in a better place than I was 3 of even 10 years ago. Hearing Trent Reznor be a little more optimistic got me extremely emotional and I teared up a bit while listening to it. I feel like as fans we've gone through so much with Trent that listening to a new song in a new context like this...really pulled my heart strings for some reason.

Whew. Okay.

Anyway, I really like it. I can see why people won't....but that won't stop me from thinking how much I enjoy this song.

[icklekitty]

Nine Inch Nails releasing something that upsets the ears and confuses the mind. How out of character.

[Paper Street]

Smiled from ear to ear while that was being premiered. 80's vibes all the way. Couldn't help but laugh though as this is gonna piss a lot of people off! Haha Trent, don't ever stop. Love it.

I'm with you.

Immediately made me think I need to go buy a shitbox Chevy Nova, a fedora, pea coat, some clove cigarettes, and drive west baby.

[thefragile_jake]

double post

[Highly Psychological]

I think Everything sounds beautiful. I loved it, very upbeat probably most Indie sounding NIN track ever., loved the comment Trent made about the naked men on Zane's laptop.
Kudos for Trent for bigging up Islington!

[JessicaSarahS]

I guess they are here to have a good time! *dances* ;)

[owinn]

The best part of the show was the part where I got a shout out by Zane. Or maybe that was the worst part. I dunno.

Anyway here's how it goes:

"I LOVE THIS NEW NIN SONG!" "YOU'RE A TASTELESS MORON"
"I HATE THIS NEW NIN SONG!" "YOU'RE A TASTELESS MORON"
technically speaking we're all tasteless morons.

end of thread

[FernandoDante]

or...

https://soundcloud.com/insecurespike/2013-08-19
Pretty sure Trent answered my question about the 2009 footage, around 30:45:

https://twitter.com/FernandoDante/status/369540860003622912

But Zane said it came from "Graham"? Anyway, I guess we shouldn't expect the official release of "The Downward Spiral Live" any time soon.

[brokenfragility]

I love it! Its so good! It reminds me of happy Cure songs in the verses, a good thing IMO.

[rhet]

when he was talking about how he thinks of some things not fitting under the umbrella of NIN i was thinking 'nah, NIN can be whatever you want Trent!' (cause we're on a first name basis in my head) but then after hearing Everything, i get it. And i'm not sure I like it. i didn't really like CBH at first though either so we'll see..

[broevol]

The Onion could totally put out an article. "Mass suicide by NIN fans after the release of an Owl City inspired song "Everything."

[pukkelpop]

so, now we can finally seperate the happy fans from the unhappy. muhahah

[_minus]

Everything is pleasing to me and I am very much excited as to how diverse this album is looking along with what it means for the potential of all the other tracks.

[jesus]

I got the source NPR "Everything" is 128 kbps and is the official one posted for stream, PM if you want it

[dominik]

Ok what was that with the Europe tour? What visuals do we get? The Festival or Tension?

[frankie teardrop]

i'm loving it for similar reasons. it's the exact opposite of the brutal, heavy, and dark band that i discovered in 1993. of course the focus has changed several times over the years, but this one is a complete antithesis. it's not that there haven't been pop songs before (moments of the slip and with teeth aimed for this, too), but this one really exceeds in capturing a different, but just as effective sound. as a pop song, in line with the likes of u2 or new order's heyday, it's amazing.

while i've liked the previous songs just fine, this is the first i've found myself listening to repeatedly.

[andre78]

It sounds like The Cure on a higher production. It's good, but it won't stand out in the band's singles discography and I pretty much doubt it will bring over new fans.

soon: 13 year old girls on the front rail of the pit, alongside their dads.

reminds me of: linkin park concert

[mostlymad]

Well, yeah, it was the "everything" part of the everything/nothing dichotomy theme. Not going to be playing this one much, but not for reasons mentioned here. I guess it's a 6/10 for me.

[Digital Twilight]

Ok what was that with the Europe tour? What visuals do we get? The Festival or Tension?

UK tour in April (so assume other Euro dates around then) and full stage set up so I assume that means Tension.

[eayost]

nin.com has Everything available for download if you preordered the album there

[FULLMETAL]

I'm digging the new track, but would have appreciated a little taste of saxophone.

Little did I know I would get my wish once the album dropped.

[hani]

Everything was added to the ZIP file with singles for those who preordered HM

[LOVEANDZOMBIES]

Hahaha so this is how they're describing it.. http://consequenceofsound.net/2013/08/listen-to-nine-inch-nails-new-pop-punk-anthem-everything/

[GFGohmann]

First NIN song I've not liked in a long time...

But I won't say anything else, until I've heard it in it's place, with the rest of Hesitation Marks.

[nobies]

can i get a PM of the Everything pre-order download?

[Fragile Teeth]

The Wave Goodbye line in everything took it up to a 7/10 for me.

[echoespaul]

I hear the cure 0:50 in. I think it will become quite a catchy tune.
Also it was good to be reassured the tour will visit the UK in 2014. O2 arena has to be on the list. And April is the month of my 35th. Yes please.

[Shadaloo]

Gotta hand it to you, T-Rez. Never woulda seen it coming. Welp, I'm a Cure fan, so I can dig it. :D

[halo33]

I'm digging the new track, but would have appreciated a little taste of saxophone.
I'm always on board for a lil sax.

[KarenLeslie]

Well, I never knew I wanted NIN-meets-Mmmbop!, but I'm okay with it.

Same request, I pre ordered via Amazon, so no downloadable tracks for me :/

If they play this song during the Tension tour, it'll be my cue to buy another beer and go take a piss.

[Scarlet Siren]

I think this will grow on me, not really something I gravitate towards. My first thought is 'yeah... It's alright'. :)

We'll see.

[voidnz]

It reminded me of Just Like Heaven a little bit by the Cure.

[billpulsipher]

This song makes Hand That Feeds seem like an epic masterpiece....yikes...the other new songs I have really dug, but this one is fucking brutal

[dominik]

If they play this song during the Tension tour, it'll be my cue to buy another beer and go take a piss.

piss in your cup, then both problems are solved!

[dlb]

So you guys really got me to a point where I'm anxious to click on "listen". I don't want to be underwhelmed since all the tracks so far sound like the best NIN tracks ever.

[W.O.R.M]

First.......what just happened?
second.....you really miss option30 and exotic birds don't ya Trent?
third......I can't knock it, it NIN and I'd rather he be putting out something than nothing.
im not 100% sold on everything......yet. But a crappy YouTube video of streamed audio is hardly a way to judge a song.
but whoa.......I'm gonna try and play it backwards and see if that changes anything. ;p

[homphgomph]

I like the other two singles better but I can dig the whole Getting Smaller meets the 80's thing going on here.

[heisenberg]

I think this is by far the best song I've heard so far. It's completely fresh.

[eayost]

I didn't have the track list for HM memorized before hearing, so I kind of assumed this was more towards the end of the album. That it's in the middle may be interesting as for what kind of tracks come later (as we already know most of the ones that come before). I think having something like this to potentially contrast the "usual" NIN stuff in the record will ultimately be a good thing

[Shadaloo]

Now that we have higher-res artwork, I can see for sure that there really is some sort of barely-visible fluffy bunny above the title. And now I know why. :D

[JamesCmuse]

I guess one might say you guys are a bit...

'Disappointed' with what you get..

....I'll leave.

[jesus]

anyone who pre.ordered from nin store can PM a link to Everything? I pre-ordered from Amazon

[TheRealNs1]

So you guys really got me to a point where I'm anxious to click on "listen". I don't want to be underwhelmed since all the tracks so far sound like the best NIN tracks ever.

I loved "Find my Way", "Copy of A" and I'm okay with CBH + "Disappointed", but "Everything" is just brutal. Due to all the positive feedback in the past few pages I tried to give it another listen but man, it slays me in all the wrong ways from the verse lyric.

[ComradeCornhole]

Sooo not what I was expecting. So very glad for it. Hits all the tones I love in sincerely "happy/hopeful/relieved" pop/rock. No idea he had this in him. Turns out I also had no idea he'd do it in such an affecting way. Wow.

[nobies]

Man I hope they play Everything at Made In America because I am going to be rolling my face off.

[Broadbent]

Da Faq???!?!?!?!?

[ltrandazzo]

You've posted this twice. We saw it the first time. Please don't repeat post a request for the song again. That goes for anyone else looking for it. If you look around the internet, you may come up with a copy.

[Mutilated]

Hated it on first listen, thought it was ok-ish on second listen, I'm gonna wait til I get Hesitation Marks now for any further listens...

[BlurredLine]

Has anyone transcribed the lyrics?

[Highly Psychological]

It sounds like a Husker Du song.

[scorpiusdiamond]

I really really like the new track. It kickstarted my drinking tonight. Aces.
Also, did someone say something about a UK tour? Inform? I can't bear listening to Zane Lowe. He is a terrible DJ.

[jesus]

?????
no , I just post it once

[ComradeCornhole]

It's one of those tunes that make me want to go outside and look at the sky... or my daughter.

[broevol]

It totally get it now. Trent is always pushing the boundaries when it comes to music. Hesitation Marks is an interactive CD. You listen to Everything and it will leave you with hesitation marks.....razor blade not included!

[Digital Twilight]

Don't worry, it sounds all poppy and happy but then the chorus kicks in and you can faintly hear the 'wall of noise' in the background - that's just the inevitable crushing disappointment and the emptiness of reality before it all comes crashing down. I'm sure by the end of 'Black Noise' you'll be reaching for the comfort of the razor blades ;)

[TheRealNs1]

I feel like that guy who didn't get Scala tix.

[PeterAbilly]

Hmmm.......ok

[Sesquipedalism]

I'm going to have to listen to it in FLAC, and I'll want to read the lyrics. But at the moment I'm as shocked as anyone. And my gut reaction is a sort of dislike—the same sort of feeling I had for The Decemberists' The King Is Dead: This is just fine, but it's not what I come to this band for. Which is to say, I wouldn't go to Arby's and bitch about the broiled fish they served that day. I've never bought a bottle of scotch and complained it wasn't tequila, but I would be vaguely disappointed if I bought a bottle of scotch and found it only contained plain Irish whiskey. If y'all catch my drift. I'm confused and not as initially ecstatic as I was with "Copy of A." But I don't hate it.

EDIT: I should actually also mention here that, once I figured out what it was supposed to be, so to speak, I came to quite like The King Is Dead. The artist challenged me by doing something relatively unpredictable and once I caught up, it turned out to be something totally respectable even if it wasn't my personal favorite composition.

And, for whomever it was who said we heard this out of context of the album, I think that's probably a sensible thing to keep in mind. It might be worth noting that, assuming "The Eater of Dreams" and "Black Noise" are intro/outro instrumentals and everything else is a vocal track, this is the shortest song on the album, and in its dead center. I honestly don't see Trent releasing what would, in critical analysis terms, be called a comedy (i.e., Merchant of Venice is technically a comedy because everything ends just wonderfully even though it's kind of grisly and bleak in a number of places and doesn't smack of the Jim Carrey shit most people associate with the word "comedy"), I suspect this might be a wonderful contrapuntal eye of the storm type thing. I haven't heard "Disappointed," but sandwiched between something that sounds so positively upbeat as that and something more sour and lonely (which a song called "Satellite" could very well be), it might not be one's favorite Nine Inch Nails song, but it might serve a damned good purpose. Or I could be totally wrong. The song titles before "Everything" seem much more undeniably bleak than the ones after it. So, maybe it will be an LP that ends happily. Which in itself would be an interesting idea to close out the Nine Inch Nails career.

Of course, I'm going on nothing but pulled-from-ass speculation, a very basic idea of dramatic structure, what I know of the way Trent seems to like to structure things, and a number of single-word song titles here.

For all we know, maybe he wrote it as a big "fuck you" to Interscope for that Greatest Hits LP. Like "Cocksucker Blues." "Yeah, Interscope, I've got your new track right here, assholes. Enjoy it. The kids over at the Death Cab for Cutie camp said it was a bit too chipper." However, I doubt that. And suspect that, given a little while, I'll like it just fine. It may never be "And All That Could Have Been" in my book but, hell, I genuinely enjoy "Maybe Just Once" and "Purest Feeling." And it's neat to see Trent do something that's really ballsy considering his fanbase. An album with no guitars, or no synth, or no layers, or live drums might all be different, but none of them inherently defy pretty much everything his long-time devotees have come to see as sine qua non of Nine Inch Nails. Something earnest and possibly even optimistic is maybe the biggest risk he could take with the audience he's got.

[Travis Lawler]

"Everything" Can suck donkey balls. I've never had the chance to meet TRez, but I'd tell him to his face that this song Sux.

[[Shep]]

Firstly, I like it.
Secondly, this seems to have removed the idea that Hesitation Marks is TDS 2
Thirdly, (hate to be that guy) but can someone PM me it. (Would've preordered from NIN.com if i'd have known we'd get all the singles first)

[Digital Twilight]

I really really like the new track. It kickstarted my drinking tonight. Aces.
Also, did someone say something about a UK tour? Inform? I can't bear listening to Zane Lowe. He is a terrible DJ.

April is all that was mentioned and it will be the full warts and all stage show.

[ultimatebdp]

This could've been my favorite HTDA song if Lady Rez were singing, but alas...I have a giant question mark over my head. :confused:

It's definitely different and that's why I love NIN. Just reminding myself that as I give it another spin...

[Wolfkiller]

My only complaint is that it sounds like a goodbye to NIN, lyrically. I'm all for Trent being in a happy place and writing upbeat songs if that is how he is feeling.

[dragonkal]

Man, I have loved every HM track I've heard so far, and this is no exception. Different, yes, but isn't he always, and I would certainly expect a drastically different sound or two given how drastically different his life is now.

I remember Maynard saying something about having grown out of/moved on from some TOOL material, and that he saw this as vastly healthier than being stuck. Then again, I've seen plenty of musicians lose that "spark" I liked in their work once their personal lives got satisfying. So, personally, I'm delighted to hear the mood growth amid all the sonic growth of the other tracks. Square deal. Even more excited to hear the whole thing.

[chroipahtz]

Well said, but:

Definitely not, because he wouldn't have included it on the album if he didn't like it.

[TheRealNs1]

Is this how Cure fans felt when the Cure followed up "Disintegration" with "Boys Don't Cry"?

[hani]

if anyone wants it, I have it in Apple Lossless (you can easily convert this to FLAC or whatever). sorry, I put stuff on my iPod and FLAC is not an option. anyway, if you want Everything in high quality, hit me up

[EndlessLoveless]

If the song sounded like the "nin weve come to expect", a la the hand that feeds, only, discipline, everyone would be still complaining, if not more. This is fresh, and new and the chorus fucking jams!

[scorpiusdiamond]

April is all that was mentioned and it will be the full warts and all stage show.

Rad, thank you.
I'm drunk, so I'm not gonna go attacking everyone who hates it. Each to their own.
I like it.

[hani]

Definitely not, because he wouldn't have included it on the album if he didn't like it.

he said during the interview that he almost left it out of the record but decided that "what the hell, I'm Trent Reznor, I do as I fucking please"

[slave2thewage]

Given my reactions to all these songs, a better name for this album would be Hesitation Twerks.

[Collin]

Okay, so I just listened to the full quality 320 MP3 Link that NIN sent out on the preorders on a pair of nice headphones. Let me tell ya, it helps a LOT. the Distorted guitars on the chorus hit A LOT harder then they do on the radio rip. I suggest everyone listen to the full quality version oh nice 'phones before totally hating on the track. The fade out is way more intricate then I initially thought, too. The verses certainly have a pop-punk flavor, which is unexpected, but I always welcome change. But then again, I've always been a sucker for a good pop melody. A pretty good track, IMO.

[Leviathant]

The first time I heard the track, my eyebrows nearly popped off of my face. "Whaaaaaa?" The quality of the BBC broadcast really sucked, too, and I'm glad there's a higher quality version out there. The more I listened to it, the more I got sucked in - that didn't happen for me with Came Back Haunted. I wasn't sure what to think on the first pass, but the more I listen to it, the more I really like it - and the more I think this is going to be one of the most polarizing songs in the NIN catalog.

I think it's fucking great, hahaha.

[Shadaloo]

For those who can't dig it, just remember: "Compared to the rest of the album, "Everything" is virtually a pop tune (http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2013/08/19/213497724/new-music-nine-inch-nails-earl-sweatshirt-juana-molina-more)." So, y'know, don't give up hope. I still skip over THTF more often than not. It happens. This thing though....this is going right onto my 80's playlist. :D I like it...not for the reasons I normally like NIN, but I like it nonetheless.

[fortheloveofgod]

What the hell is he so happy about!!

New order, new wave. Love it!!

Or we all just got punk'd

[billpulsipher]

Is this how Cure fans felt when the Cure followed up "Disintegration" with "Boys Don't Cry"?
Disintegration came out in 1989...'Boys Don't Cry" came out in 1980...so um yea.....

[Sesquipedalism]

Well said, but:



Definitely not, because he wouldn't have included it on the album if he didn't like it.

That was tongue-in-cheek. Although that's not to say that good work couldn't come about that way. One of what people tend to think is one of the better pieces of fiction I ever wrote was actually written with the goal of pissing someone off by giving them exactly what they had no use for/didn't want. And I ended up liking it quite a bit.

But yeah, that's why the part of the quote that follows what you quoted of me was "I doubt that."

[Bokononist]

This is a concert opener if ever was one. Maybe it could follow Pinion.

[TheRealNs1]

Disintegration came out in 1989...'Boys Don't Cry" came out in 1980...so um yea.....

foot in mouth. i learned something today.


that being said, I gave the song a third listen. Needed something more dark and depressing to get the bad taste out of my mouth so I fired up the latest Taylor Swift single.

[binaryhermit]

I've had it on repeat for about 30 minutes and I'm still trying to wrap my head around wtf it is. I think I like it, though.

[toomanyrifts]

It seems to me, like "Everything" is NIN/Trent in a song. Call me crazy here...

It starts clear, with lyrics about 'surviving everything'. This is early NIN, before the problems he had with drugs and drinking.
It then gets loud, and hard to listen. Then you hear lyrics about "being who you used to be," this is NIN in the 99-01 era, medicated and falling apart.
It clears up, again. We come to With Teeth, and more current stuff.
Then shortly after a "wave goodbye" we go loud again. Trent fights Interscope. 09-13.
Then, he returns. "I am home/I believe/I am free" Hesitation Marks.

All throughout are lyrics we've heard before. Like a scrapbook arranged in a cheery package. This is NIN in a song - meaning well but frequently falling apart.

It's brilliant.

[pukkelpop]

We can almost officially say he's with the few who wrote the whole gamma of feelings between suicidal and gloriously happy. Wonder where it ends when it stays "true".
My opinion about this song doesnt matter -but i wouldnt listen to it if it weren't nin to say it gently.

[ComradeCornhole]

He must like Silversun Pickups. That's great. Me too.

[thefragile_jake]

I completely agree.

As I posted earlier, it evoked the strongest reaction out of me both as in the context of the music as well as the lyrical content. It's really good.

Couldn't agree more, man. And I also think it's fucking great. Polarizing as it already is, fuck it. I'm gonna dance to this mother at the concert like Avril Lavigne on Nickelback's backstage.

Reminds me of Maybe Just Once.

I bet this song was meant to be the most "marketable" of the album.

[BRoswell]

To be honest, considering the rest of the album and the apparent connection to The Downward Spiral, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a moment where the narrator is experiencing some false happiness. Even with all of his issues, I'm sure there were times where Trent had a good time. Maybe he's reflecting on those moments and how, in the context of the rest of the album perhaps, those moments don't last.

[cahernandez]

Man, I have loved every HM track I've heard so far, and this is no exception. Different, yes, but isn't he always, and I would certainly expect a drastically different sound or two given how drastically different his life is now.

So, personally, I'm delighted to hear the mood growth amid all the sonic growth of the other tracks. Square deal. Even more excited to hear the whole thing.

When I saw 'Blood Into Wine' I completely understood where Maynard was coming from about his interests diverging from Tool/growing as an artist, and I thought to myself "If they record one more album and I call it quits, that's fine by me. The same thing can be said about Trent Reznor...and the "Wave goodbye" line is probably hinting that this may be the last Nine Inch Nails record, it definitely made me think about it second time I listened to the song. Someone else mentioned earlier that this is no TDS2 but after hearing this track, Hesitation Marks could be The Upward Spiral? And closing the theme of what Nine Inch Nails is. Trent Reznor will continue, although I will understand if he chooses not to make music under the NIN umbrella anymore (maybe more Ghosts albums?).

The song also reminded me to "Not So Pretty Now".

[littlemonkey613]

Yo this song is way better than anything I've heard off the album so far. Ive been waiting for him to commit to the "pop" like Discipline on crack for a while now. This is perfect. // The production after the first verse is INSANE. The way those guitars come in on the chorus. Holy fuck. I could listen to this song just from how its mixed and what not for hours. And it makes me happy mood wise.

[brokenfragility]

I want it. PM please?

[EndlessLoveless]

I just listened to my nin pre-order version on headphones, and its even better than the first three listens. I love it. I feel TR and NIN have evolved as I have evolved. Angry depressed teenager, to a recovering drug addict, to a clean, healthy father who is actually optimistic about life and the future.

[hollowed_point]

Anyone pm me with nin preorder quality version? Knew I shouldn't have went with Amazon...

[chroipahtz]

Just as speculation, could this song actually be about the sweet release of death after overdosing, or some kind of dementia due to blood loss when trying to commit suicide? The lyrics sound a bit bittersweet, like he's been trying to kill himself and has finally succeeded. Or maybe the "old Trent" has finally killed himself and allowed the new Trent to prosper. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to like, cling to some hope that NIN will never write a happy song. It was just a thought I had while listening to it for the umpteenth time.)

[[Shep]]

Bare in mind, when he wrote this it wasn't intended to be for a new album, it was gonna be for a single to tag onto a greatest hits album.
personally I think it would have been a great way to end the greatest hits album.

[Space Suicide]

Anyone pm me with nin preorder quality version? Knew I shouldn't have went with Amazon...Haha, same! I did the Amazon route as well! (The reactions to the free song and asking of the track being removed from the final tracklisting on the NIN facebook page makes me feel so awful and terrible at how entitled people think they are.)

[Kamelion]

Reminds me of Maybe Just Once.

Heh heh, I thought that as well. I really liked it on the broadcast - sat there with big grin on my face. Just downloaded the single from nin.com - about to give the flac a listen....

You're reading into it too much. With all due respect, I don't think what you're saying makes any sense.

I, for one, am happy that Reznor has not gone like the Korn guy, still writing "I hate myself" songs pushing 50.

Also, I love the fact Trent premiered the song in the UK even despite getting shafted at Reading & Leeds. I'm glad he still sees the UK as a great place.
I can't wait until April.

[thatguymark]

Well, after that, no one can accuse him of just retreading old sounds. Listen 2 sounds better than listen 1. I'm pretty much on the fence on this one. I can see why it hasn't been part of the summer shows. I don't see how you could fit that next to anything else in the set and maintain any fluidity. I do think it'll grow on me, and I don't exactly dislike it right away. I'm just a little meh... But lyrically, I dig that it's easily the most cheerful, happy and hopeful thing the man has recorded. Okay, finishing up listen 2, I do like the layering of the different sounds. Hmm... It certainly has potential. I just don't know what to do with it quite yet. That's not a bad thing.

[Broadbent]

It sounds soooooo bad..... But I can't stop listening.....

[slave2thewage]

a bit, although he didn't deny the April tour when Zane said that Trent mentioned it earlier

I, for one, am happy that Reznor has not gone like the Korn guy, still writing "I hate myself" songs pushing 50.

If I was 50 and in Korn I'd write I hate myself songs too.

[Thor]

Well... let's just say it: this day had to come at some point. The day that we listened a happy NIN song. And that isn't actually a bad thing, my first reaction was like woaaaah what the fuck is going. I still don't dig it too much, but I really think this takes big balls for a guy like TR, plus, let's face it, Trent is happy now, and this song doesn't have to be a 'fuck you'. I've always admired Trent Motherfucking Reznor for being honest with his music and I think this time isn't the exeption, so if he want's to transmit these feelings to us, well then, bring it on.

[theworst]

can someone pm with pre-order version?? thanks

I'd be happy to handle some of these PM requests (NIN store MP3) if someone would kindly unfuck my ability to attach a file...
