To be clear, we're talking about this effect, right?

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
I was nobody. Nothing.
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.

I'd be down with that, especially since How To Destroy Angels may be dormant for the foreseeable future.

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.

A little is fine, but full songs really should be kept to HTDA. Otherwise there's potential for a fanbase split, like what happened with KMFDM and Lucia.

Yeah, i just would like a LITTLE bit.

^ saw that reference on Raw, I marked out lol

While I dig the Russell Mills aesthetic, I definitely understand why those weren't chosen for official album art.

I think I saw those on fan-made wallpaper packs back in 2002 when I first discovered NIN and thought that someone had just photoshopped them. Whoops!

Good ol' Boat. One of the best. He drops NIN references now and then. Also a Rocket / Night Marchers / Hot Snakes fan. Good follow, that account.

Ugh, panning the voices HARD left & right made the podcast unlistenable. I had to bust out my Klipsch in-ear headphones to seal out enough background noise to hear the conversation.

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.

If Trent feels like a Nine Inch Nails song actually needs female vocals then I am fine with him choosing Mariqueen or anybody really. It's his project so he can decide what he feels suits NIN.

Ha no. Remember the “Everything” hoopla? Poor guy scraped it’s release because, well, I don’t really know why. The online reaction messed with him. If it was really his decision, then fan opinions wouldn’t get in the way.

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 was nobody. Nothing.
Naw, it's not so much that I want her to sing LEAD. I just think it might be cool if it was a little louder and more noticeable. Like, I didn't know she was on She's Gone Away.
she/her/hers
yeah you did, because you watched twin peaks

This is a great playlist but I made one change to mine. I replaced the warning with home. Gives the middle section some room to breathe and I think strengthens the narrative. But nice work.
I was nobody. Nothing.
See I honestly just thought she was onstage in twin peaks for the fuck of it. Seriously.yeah you did, because you watched twin peaks
It's no surprise; you guys have accused me of being deaf before lololol.

Your comment reminded me of this video :P But in Yoko's case, her input cannot pass unnoticed

Same here, other than I knew she was on there due to people on ETS discussing it. I can barely make out someone doing her part in that song. Could’ve been some synth effect and I wouldn’t have known any different.

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.

I actually enjoy that song. Shame it got the reaction it did
Throbbing Member
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."
