The Trilogy's End (speculation)

Perhaps we won't get a name...

0 & 1

...what?

Even untitled albums have names, look at Peter Gabriel

"Just zeros and ones"

U mean melt, car and scratch?
Aren’t those names given by the fans/media based on the covers to differentiate them?

[Quantum550]

So funny to speculate names...

"I bet you didn't know this last EP was even out."

[katara]

[snaapz]

This senseless banter wouldn't have happened on the spiral; the EP name would have already been figured out and MP3 leaks would be available... we were a very organized group.


Just kidding


The ARG brought me here....

The overall anticipatory hype and curiosity is just far too real for me right now. I suppose it's because it was revealed to be a trilogy to begin with, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of it as much. (Or say, more than I'd wait for a regular NIN LP to come out.)

I know I should still be grateful to be able to listen to Not The Actual Events and Add Violence while I wait though. (Which is what I'll do from this point forward until it comes out. I guess I just wanted to state this one last time. Threads like these have also always ended up fueling my hype and curiosity anyway.)

I think I'm expecting a Bowie connection in this third EP.
And by saying that, I watch the Black Star artwork, album released 4 days before Bowie passed away.
Perhaps we'll get a more dark, obscure, layered embossed, black, shadowy artwork.
The black powder in NTAE. The reference in Add Violence.
The Soviritol drug could be a benzodiazepine for mourning.
Connection that has already been releaved in Add Violence.

I read in the back cover from the K panel, that DEVIATION(s) will happen each 85122 iterations of time.
The Fragile Deviations happened back in 2016. Could it be 851,22 days in-between Deviations releases.
And the EST TERMINATE EVENT - the last deviation will be released in the year of 2022, hence the last will be in 6 years.

I stand by my prediction that EP3 will be titled Fault Lines.

And wouldn't it be so interesting to find out that Trent and Atticus decided to troll NIN fans by giving out the actual name of the EP to a huge NIN troll.

Tracklist:
1. Overton Window
2. Knockabout
3. Mixed Results
4. For This
5. Fault Lines

It would almost be as good as that time your "sources" told you about the video game that NIN was scoring.

And come on, those song titles are more befitting of a new Red Hot Chili Peppers album. If your gonna predict/troll, at least make it believable.

Knockabout? I can already tell you're a troll from Britain lol.

[kel]

um, he's from canada. he's also run out of ideas.

[Quantum550]

That made me laugh out loud.
RHCP is garbage all the way. Poor song titles for a NIN record.


But I think there will be a song...
(I swore my life over this I wasn't going to tell...)

Elegia is the name of one of the new tracks.

[implanted_microchip]

I will never understand you fucking weirdos who don’t know anything that make up obviously fake shit for no reason other than to feel cool for like 5 minutes despite no one ever believing you or being remotely amused or impressed

[scribnation]

Someone already said it, but all I really care about is just some new NIN

[fillow]

1. Dive and Slam
2. I Like Dudes
3. The Life You Didn't Lead
4. The Great Merch Experience
5. Kid Orange

you didn't hear it from me

[Quantum550]

@kleiner352

No sense of humor at all?
@fillow

2. I Like Dudes

Perhaps that song should be named with an addendum

02. I Like Dudes (That fucking Buy my Vinyls over CDs)

[joplinpicasso]

EP3 artwork and design will feature deep greens and blues.

[Fred]

This one better be called IT'S COCKLIKE.

[kel]

No sense of humor at all?

what's funny about re-re-recycled "jokes" that sucked the first time around?

ugh, it's that time of the year again ...

What if the third EP is completely instrumental?

[implanted_microchip]

What if the third EP is completely instrumental?

I would be extremely disappointed. Background World, She’s Gone Away, The Lovers, Burning Bright and This Isn’t the Place are some of my favorite vocal performances from him in years and he seems to be in a great place with his voice and delivery.

Seconded. I'm banking on the third EP having five songs (again) and no instrumentals, though I would appreciate a sparse interlude-type segment, like the ending of TITP.

[Quantum550]

No way. It will be like the others.

[PhoenixML]

So December 29th? Single on December 22nd?

[paul_guyet]

I mean...if you're asking, then yes, please, that would be great. And, since you're here; can we get the DEs for WT, YZ and The Slip too?
