Yep, that's it. Nothing against the Swarmatron, of course. I love it too.
Release that third EP already! JESUS FUCK!
When I first bought Twisted Metal Black when it came out, I thought Trent did the menu music
Would it be so bad if Mariqueen sang a little in NIN?
I think it would piss a lot of people off, but I would like it.
That's exactly what HTDA is for, though. Because that's exactly what HTDA is and sounds like: NIN (TR & AR) + Mariqueen. It wouldn't piss me off if she were to show up sparingly as she has already successfully done in She's Gone Away, that would work fine. Something more along the lines of La Mer could probably work too. But if she's going to be the lead singer and "star of the show," I prefer that remaining under the HTDA moniker. Atticus may be an official member now (and for the record, I'm a fan of his contributions), but NIN is still (and will always be) Trent Reznor. That also means that he does whatever the fuck he wants, though. I love How to Destroy Angels (especially Welcome Oblivion), I just think that if I hear her beautiful voice flowing through music made by Trent & Atticus, it should be given its own unique voice, identity, and title so it's allowed to create its own legacy and impact without having to live up to and fit into NIN's.
^ saw that reference on Raw, I marked out lol
Just re-watched the video for Less Than and noticed a bunch of arms pointing downwards. May be a reference to God's arm in The Wretched, or more probably, The Presence, given AV's connections with YZ.
These are throughout the video but most noticeable in the break from about 2:40 onwards.
Apologies if this has been discussed before.
Why is almost everybody talking as if She's Gone Away hadn't already happened? I guess it's a question of her singing lead rather than backing vocals, but still...
I don't know, the vocals are pretty low in the mix and buried in reverb, but I think it's quite discernible they come from a female voice.

Yeah but he put it on a record and then stands by its existence regardless of public fallout like most of Pretty Hate Machine for example, which you can tell he dislikes somewhat but appreciates still as a reference point for where he was in his life. "Everything" is where he was at that point in his life and I can't argue against it. The man puts his feelings in his music and the people shit on it, of course he's gonna be upset when people don't like his feelings because alot of people believe Trent is a very angsty negative dude and can't be positive ever. I'm pretty sure he doesn't hate the song he just hates how people reacted to that side of him and that's understandable.
I feel like people just don't like straight forward upbeat rock NIN. Songs like "Getting Smaller" and "Not So Pretty Now" are polarizing to fans and now "Everything" has joined it. I like all three. Just my opinion.

Anyone who thought Everything was in any way a "happy" song didn't read the lyrics.
wish i could go to the vegas shows....
So uh, I'm pretty sure Trent sampled Kraftwerk on "Not Anymore."
