    Tweaker

    Anyone else looking forward to the new offering by Chris Vrenna? It's confirmed to be in the works. Maybe even near completion, I can't recall.

    I haven't thought about Tweaker in a long time. His second album has aged better than his first, let's hope his third isn't too heavily influenced by his time with Manson.

    Word.
    I haven't actually heard of anything new coming out (until just now), and I suppose I'm moderately excited about it (though containing it, for the most part).

    I'm not liking how this is sounding. I also wish he got Will Oldham and David Sylvian back.

    I think it's really good! I mean as good as 20 second clips can make a song sound, it's definatly music to my ears!
    Way better than 2AM wake up call, that's for damn sure!

    Unfortunately, I think I'm going to give this one a pass. I'm just not getting much feeling out of the clips I've heard :\

    Is the label website the only place to order the CD version? I only see the MP3 version on Amazon. That website doesn't take PayPal.

    Here is a review of the album:
    http://www.examiner.com/review/anoth...k-from-tweaker

    Leads me to beleive there is a leaked promo copy out already, but I can't find much online other than the usual "do this survey to get a link to the download" sites and those are pretty rubbish.

    For some reason, @tweakermusic wasn't able to get into ETS, but I volunteered to post some links for them so, here goes:

    The "fine" remix contest on Acid Planet:
    http://www.acidplanet.com/tweaker3

    And the Amazon CD pre-order:
    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096PS6QA/ref=cm_sw_su_dp

    I've been a fan of Tweaker since TATU and 2 am wake up call blew the back off my head, so, while I'm stoked about CTTE, I'm saddened to hear this might be it.
    Hopefully, Vrenna will change his mind.

    Here's hoping.

    Aaaand here's a link to the story about Vrenna leaving Marilyn Manson (thank Christ) which has a stream of "nothing at all" which features Jessicka from JOJ.
    http://www.noisecreep.com/2012/09/18/chris-vrenna-marilyn-manson/

    It's a nice call back to "Happy Child", dark.

    This song is downright amazing! This is gonna be a great record. I have a feeling it's going to shatter the 2 records that came before it.

    nothing at all is awesome - made me go back and listen to "Attraction...".

    I always preferred 2am Wake Up Call, the atmosphere was so well executed and authentic on that album, listening to it made me feel like a melancholic insomniac

    That being said, Chris could release an album of white noise and I'd be on-board - great to have tweaker back!

    The link seems to be busted...
    Clicking on it does nothing but gets you an error page.

    If you do manage to bring up the page, and click on the Tweaker article, it doesn't open it, just refreshes the news page. Bizarre.

    starting 2nd listen...

    It's very early and my opinion may change, but this is very very good. This may be his best effort yet.

    loving it so far, up to "Hoarding Granules"

    i think i wanna see Tweaker and Meat Beat Manifesto join forces... i think you guys would compliment each other quite well

    now that would be an epic tour

    and if you can have me open for your guys as well
