The Ferry cover presses the question: will either that song or Immigrant song be released as a promo single? It's pretty rare for a band to record an original song for a film and not have it released even as a radio single.

HTDA predictions:

Ten tracks
One instrumental
Mariqueen sings the most
Trent Back-up sings on like five
Lots of meticulous drum and beat focus
Lots of droney synth bass with sparse piano

Should be BA

I figured "Immigrant Song" would be listed as: Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross feat. Karen O. Why would you speculate it being a HTDA single?

My spot - in the film Limitless, The Believers features about 40 minutes in. Was stunned, had no idea prior to it playing!

Not on the official soundtrack by Paul Leonard-Morgan, which is pretty cool. Try Happy Pills. The song, obviously. Would Youtube link it, but it's banned at work....

It does appear they've been mastering as they go, from the fact TR tweeted about mastering whilst Q tweeted about recording. I think, even if it is done now, they'll leave it until TGWTDT is out, so that the LP gets the air it needs

The Bug just tweeted that he's finished all the work he's doing for the LP. So that's another fortnight or so of mixing I guess?

It would be impossible to "master as they go" because mastering takes place at the very end once all mixing is complete. TR was talking about mastering the Dragon Tattoo stuff.

Trent has said that the EP was more of an experiment than what HTDA is going to sound like. I'm sure the LP will share qualities with the EP, but I am expecting it to sound quite different as well.

Trent: "I can’t wait for that record to come out, actually probably [in the] first quarter of next year."

I remember reading stuff about a projected fall release date in the beginning of the year and thinking, "BUT THAT'S SO FAR AWAY!" So now I'm thinking it "actually probably" better come out in January. I'm just saying.

I was a little underwhelmed by the EP, mainly because I really wasn't digging Q's vocals. However, I thought she sounded fucking fantastic on IYLSE, and I loved that track as a whole. It's gotten me very excited about the LP.

Trent said they'd done some interesting things with her voice on the album, so you should probably expect more of that IYLSE kind of range. Yay!!

So, Trent said in that KCRW interview that he thinks the Destroy Angels LP is gonna blow a lot of people's minds. I don't know about you guys, but I was already psyched - thus, that comment has me frothing at the mouth.

"Fur Lined" has been my favorite of theirs for a while, due in no small part because, to me, it sounds the most uniquely HTDA. There are obviously lots of NIN-ish bits that can be identified throughout the EP, but that song sounds the least afraid to be a potential pop song. Furthermore, it sounds the least afraid to move away from the Trent/Atticus "noise comfort zone." I adore the noise, but it's cool to hear something that's equally interesting but more unexpected. My point is: Trent, Atticus, and Q were still finding their footing with the EP, so I'm expecting/hoping the full-length to be more defined and more along the lines of the dance-y alternative pop vibe of "Fur Lined." The fact that Trent has stated the HTDA LP is almost the total opposite of Dragon Tattoo seems to lend itself to that possibility. I would not mind some unabashedly upbeat, danceable tunes from these 3.

Hooray speculation!

carpenoctem
01-11-2012, 10:08 PM
Yeah, but Fur-Lined is really just an expansion of what Trent did with Only. I mean they're both great songs but when I think Fur-Lined I don't think it's uniquely HTDA.

I hear you, and I agree. You could cite at least 2 NIN songs for every HTDA song, but the whole scuzzy disco angle has got to be the least explored is what I'm trying to say. It sounds like they're having the most fun with Fur Lined, too, which is another reason it stands out: I can't NOT think of the teaser with Trent, Atticus, and Q all playing the synth breakdown in the studio. It's also got the least Trent-like vocal phrasing if you ask me (I don't even think he does backing vocals on it). Again, it's just what I'm hoping for.

In any case, I think it'll be a wholly satisfying album. I can't remember what the general reception was for the EP on ETS when it came out, but I don't recall it being too great - which could work to the advantage of the full-length.

True, but it's not just Trent we should be paying attention to anymore. That's probably the best thing about him being in a full-fledged band. I know he's always worked a lot with other musicians in the past (Dave Grohl was probably the best thing to happen to WT), but it was always his vision and his alone. With Angels it seems like he's really trying to step out of the spotlight and explore the dynamic of a true collaboration. Remember those first promo pics where he was way in the background facing away from the camera with Q and Atticus in front?

I don't see the LP being released in the very near future, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

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

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

Yes, I'm thinking about this for a long time now. It would be an eye-opener for us Reznor fans to let us enjoy a 'behind the scene' video from one or two songs. A new dimension, a new step involving fans!
Around the WT era Trent used webcams to let us look into his 'kitchen' several times. From the first HTDA EP he did let us see some edits/parts of a track as prelude.
So, yes, great idea.


..... And 5.1? Nope. Give me something I can listen to on a good pair of ears or any decent stereo speakers.
Hey man, Trent stands for high quality stereo sound productions. So this is standard. A 5.1 mix would only be an extra!

Oh, don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying that "LE" editions of albums or 5.1 mixes are an awful thing and that people shouldn't want them. I'm just saying that neither one of them is my cup of tea, that's all. Just give me good music, and I've got all I need.

Animal Collective recently released a time lapse video of one of their albums being made. They had set up some cameras in their studio that would take one-second videos every hour, and then they'd put them all together and play it. It ended up being about two minutes and some change, but it was a really cool way to watch the guys mess around and construct the album. I'd love it if Trent did something like this.

Meh. I'm not a big fan of "hey, we have this album that's all ready to go, but we're going to make you wait months just to make sure we tell enough people before the sale date". I love the "hey! Album's done! Come get it!" approach. Little studio teasers (ala the EP, the weird postings before Ghosts, etc) are just as good at building momentum.



I'm starting to think it's not coming out. . .

I hope this is sarcasm. There's nothing to indicate that it isn't coming out; it's just taking longer than what many of us would have liked it to. But I'm all for waiting if it means the album is going to come out sounding exactly the way the writers want it to.

Implication from twitter is that it's finished though - mixing was done in February, and mastering MUST be done by now. Unless they're putting it on BluRay (which would rock), it already sounds how they want it to.

I'm still pretty curious about The Bug's involvement. We haven't had any official HTDA remixes yet, so maybe in addition to the debut LP, Trent/Atticus/Mariqueen have been overseeing their first Remix EP, or maybe even companion LP! That would be pretty badass. There are plenty of good remixers out there, but I would personally love to see what Gui Boratto and Trentemøller would do to a Destroy Angels track - those guys consistently turn out cool and interesting stuff. Man, I would love that.

I am hoping that he is involved in the actual record and not some remixes. i would really be interested in seeing the band collaborate with other musicians, especially if they're as unique and distinctive as the bug, and try to make something that doesn't quite come from the same universe as the rest of the trent-related projects.

Skepticism for any number of reasons is valid at this point, but surely not for a potential Monday release? Trent and co. don't have any reason to operate by industry standards anymore. In fact it's just so weird and random that I'd say it's even likely.

sheepdean
03-13-2012, 09:21 PM
Industry standards exist for a reason. Assuming the normal midnight announcement, how many people are up midnight before monday, with work, school etc. meaning they need sleep. Friday and Saturday are the best bets for a midnight release I'd wager.

Of course, if the ANNOUNCEMENT is before then, and the Monday is so everyone can ship/stock it at the start of the week, then maybe, who knows. Personally, I'm down with it coming out any day of the week, so long as it comes out!

I'd say its probably 50/50 true/false, and I'm leaning slightly on the side of it being true, but how much of that is me *wanting* it to be true is hard to say.

Very rare in this day for something like that to leak out of the TR camp, but the timing is right, it sounds like something the record would be called... I don't know.

Hopefully it gets cleared up soon one way or the other with an official HTDA update.

Yes, but if they're going the non-traditional route, I'd be surprised to see the date leaked out already. I had the same thought, but I figured that if they were just going to release when ready, we'd hear about it when they wanted us to.

Of course, that said, I'd be a happy camper if it actually did come out in early April.

I wonder if he/they'll just sort of spring the album on us with zero promotion or warning.

Whilst I want the album asap, dropping an debut album with no promotion is mighty unwise if you want to actually sell any copies. Lead single/LP/Second single is a tried and tested formula

Could it be possible that legally trent isn't allowed to give any information on this until the dragon tattoo soundtrack is 100% released? Like I know sometimes bands aren't allowed to advertise future tours while currently on a tour..?

sheepdean

That would only be if HTDA was on a label, and the same one as the score work - whilst a film company might ask no other releases until the film is out in the cinemas, Trent didn't even stick to that (Zoo Station). I'm sure there's reasons, I just wish we knew SOMETHING

In one of his most recent interviews (http://www.billboard.com/news/trent-reznor-to-write-new-nine-inch-nails-1005867562.story#/news/trent-reznor-to-write-new-nine-inch-nails-1005867562.story), TR stated that it will most likely be a spring release. That takes it possibly all the way to the middle of June. In the past he has said first quarter 2011, fall 2011, and first quarter 2012. This hasn't been a project he has been very accurate with the release time frame (not bitching, just stating a fact), but I'm sure TGWTDT had a lot to do with that.

What's happening is the date - everyone is being forced over to Timeline tomorrow, so I guess Rob is making sure everything is up to date. No evidence of anything else going on, imo

everyone is being forced over to Timeline tomorrow

Off topic, but where do you see that? I read something about commercial pages (bands, businesses, etc) being forced that way, but I still haven't seen a single thing that says when the update is forced on plain ol' user profiles.

sheepdean

Oh, user profiles won't be (yet), but I just meant the others. And I love timeline, so I'm happy :P

Hm, I thought Timeline for user pages was supposed to go live weeks ago. I guess I just saw a date and misinterpreted it.

Clever choice of cover photo regarding NIN, though. Make us fly into wild speculation, especially considering the HTDA one is just the logo.

Bah, still no movement at all. Also heard the vinyl edition of TGWTDT was delayed again which sucks. I didn't buy it but I was hoping to hear if my theory was right or not. I really hope I'm wrong now. I wish there was some word on this thing, even if it was just another jibberish twitter update.

The wait for this is starting to get kinda rough. I think some of my impatience is from us originally being told it was coming out in the beginning of 2011. It reminds me of The Fragile time period, when Trent was on the cover of Alternative Press magazine for most anticipated albums of 1997; of course, that album didn't come out in 1997 (or '98, so that was a little rougher).

sheepdean
04-07-2012, 09:08 PM
Being due in 2011 is no issue for me - hell, TR theorised it could've been at the end of 2010, although I thought that was unlikely. It's the fact we know it's either finished or is being mastered by the slowest mastering crew known to man is what's getting to me. There's no label holding it down (wasn't that the point of Slip and Ghosts, to show that things could be done with so little time?), packaging may be a concern but having over a month between digital and physical release didn't seem to harm the EP. Unless they plan to do a promotional live show for the LP release, which would require a lot of prep, I can't see what's holding it back now.


No doubt it'll be announced the moment I hit post, and my face will be covered in egg.

carpenoctem
04-07-2012, 10:15 PM
Yeah I'm sure there's a reason I just can't fathom what it is. This is the crucial moment - where everyone knows it's totally ready and prepped to launch and all there is left to do is WAIT. And it sucks​, you guys.

Deadpool
04-08-2012, 12:18 AM
Yeah, the wait's been pretty rough, and I can't tell if it would be more excruciating or less if we didn't get the post about the second-to-last day of mixing. At this point, I just assume artwork/packaging is being finalized, and merch bundles are being developed. The album, musically and sonically speaking, has to be done. There's also the possibility that Trent and company don't want to unveil anything until the book has been closed on the overdue GDT deluxe vinyl, which makes sense to me. That also gives them more time to finely tune Destroy Angels stuff while that manufacturing error gets rectified.

So realistically I'm thinking we'll get a meaty How To Destroy Angels update or announcement by mid-May... or at least some nice teasers instead of total radio silence.

I'm sure everything is fine and Trent & Co. is on schedule. Trent told us the new HTDA was something complete different and he sounded excited. Everything needs to be perfect before it'll be released. They do everything on their own. So I have a good feeling.

Despite the obvious debunking, I still have some kind of twisted hope that after midnight tonight we will see some kind of post/site launch for 'Infidel Hearts', or an alternatively titled record.

I don't know why I do this to myself. I'm in dire need of some new tunes and potential summer records to spin countless times on the road I suppose.

Been waiting on official word on the LP like the rest of you, and with this period of silence following what seemed to be them finishing up the album, I decided to tweet at Rob to see if I could get any hint about it dropped.

Me: "Any chance of you throwing us a bone regarding How To Destroy Angels info? Please? Just a tease would be perfectly fine really"
Rob: "No can do! Not yet."

Not exactly news but clearly the album is still on the way despite fears here to the contrary. The waiting game continues.

carpenoctem
04-10-2012, 03:35 PM
Fears of the album not being on its way are ridiculous because it's only ten days past the window Trent gave us for the album's release. If in October we still haven't heard anything, THEN it's time to panic/cry.

Deacon Blackfire
04-10-2012, 04:42 PM
Agreed. I think people are just kind of restless from how quiet Trent and Co. have been about the release for a while coupled with, as previously mentioned, the fact the album has been given prospective release periods since early 2011. There's a lot of things they could be working on right now (album art, a music video to debut a single a la The Space In Between, even live rehearsals if they plan on touring for the album, etc) but I don't think the release will be too far away. We'll see. In any case I'm still dying to hear what the first cohesive release from this unit sounds like.

Not that I ever really feared the album was scrapped to begin with but that tiny little ''Not yet'' from Rob Sheridon for some reason has comforted me greatly. Just someone involved in the albums release finally publicly acknowledging its existance is quite nice. Thank you Deacon Blackfire, I could kiss you but you really dont want that.

In that thread, you simply stated that a fest lineup gets announced tomorrow, and that "maybe?" HDTA would be involved. Then you called it "pointless speculation". So just to clarify - despite your above post making it sound as though you just might happen to maybe actually have a tiny bit of information, in reality you're just pissing in the wind? Just want to know what kind of speculation we're dealing with here.

I'm completely speculating. Now that I've re-read my post, I can see why putting "could possibly" in bold might make it sound like I have some info. Sorry about that. I actually meant for it to come off as just a possibility, and should have worded the entire statement better.

I say this with zero knowledge about what's really going on, but to me, that looks like what happens when you finish everything, but have to wait on manufacturing. Particularly given the way the deluxe TGWTDT release went, I would not be surprised if TR wanted to make sure he had absolutely all his ducks in a row for this next release.
