    I too had gotten used to hearing "The Day the World Went Away" in my head with drums, perhaps because I was used to various live versions. When they went back to playing the drums-less album version as a quartet in 2014, it was a breath of fresh air. But seeing it played after "Somewhat Damaged" and before "The Frail"/"The Wretched" in 2018 at Radio City was a dream come true.

    Bringing this over here so as not to clog up the Soul thread:

Hell, we're pretty much living in Year Zero territory right now. As much as I'm always down for new Nine Inch Nails, the older stuff still resonates in the way that it's supposed to, so I don't necessarily feel an urgent need for Trent & Atticus to hit us with their current perspective on things.

    I mean the trilogy of EPs were full of anger, paranoia and doom too, and those were released more recently and with even more contextual weight.

    I started listening to the fragile much later, around 2002. It took me years to notice.

    Trent and Atticus have released some if their best score work this year and a TON of it. I also thoroughly enjoyed Ghosts, but after this year I could really use some standard Nine Inch Nails It doesn’t even have to be new stuff. Some demos, alternate takes, a live release, another deviations... it can’t come soon enough for me. It might be the break for the holiday, but the past few days I have been listening to a lot of the recent score work (especially Soul) and it really hit me hard. Not in an entitled way, but more of just a need to get out the of the rut this year has left us in, even just for a short time.

    Do you like the live version with the drums?

    Not sure, but interested in hearing them. I enjoyed the book overall. I thought it was interesting that the book was about the cultural backgrounds of the fans themselves. Some of it I could relate to, some of it I could not.

    What about that book that's all about Trent Reznor's alleged past life? Been probably 10 years since I read that but that's, er... one for discussion.

    Random thoughts/Fun fact:

    It was love at first sound for me, way back when I was 14. At the time it was a very profound feeling. (Such as everything is when you're a young teen.) But this must have been significant because here I am, still listening, all these years later. I put on my headphones and popped in a blank disc that had been left by my step-brother's cousin. And this man's voice echoed into my ears. Something about the tone of it, the feeling behind it... it just resonated with me.

    Have you ever felt that way about an artist's music? Do you ever wonder about the musical connection between taste and personality? Or do you believe there is no connection?
    All I know is - for the first time in what seemed like forever, I felt like I heard someone from my tribe call out. And it was comforting to know that I wasn't alone.

    My mom bought me that book as a gift thinking it was a biography or something. I hadn't heard of it before, so I started reading it with zero context and was instantly confused.

    ....what if Trent's name was called on The Price is Right?

    a random thought that popped in my head before that made me laugh.

    He'd constantly yell the long stretched out "EEEEEEERRRRRRAAAAAAAASSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE MMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" through the rest of his segments of the show.

    Not sure which song I'd pick (let me think about it), but a Peter Gabriel cover would be very intriguing.

    I always wondered what Trent thinks of PG. Apart from the Growing Up remix he's done, I've never seen any other connection or mention, however.

    I would love for NIN to cover a Cure song. Something like 100 Years or Hanging Garden would be amazing.

    If they covered anything off of Pornography, I would probably instantly ascend to a higher plane.

    Two friends of mine have said they’re getting into NIN now, from either Song Exploder or The Needle Drop’s classic review.

    Might just be a personal thing for me but I wonder if it’s indicative of a new wave of appreciation?

    Is Things Falling Apart widely regarded as the worst moment in NIN history?

    the awful 2000, Fragile remix album, Further down the Spiral was really good, how the hell did it all go so wrong here?

    i could have done without the Starfuckers remixes, but I think this was just a time when it was cool to hate on NIN and music critics are like lemmings and will jump on these bandwagons IMO

    Ghosts VI and V were among my most listened to albums over the past year.
