Not that I'm a stickler for lyrics, but I think it's "smile is red and it's eyes are black."

Tip: listen for bells. Cannot be unheard.

and once again NIN community is the most tech-savvy music community on this planet

Someone mentioned something higher, but this album could well be a concepty one like YZ was. It could be from the same world at a different time. Who knows

**joplinpicasso** · 06-05-2013, 11:38 PM

The energy and sound is really fantastic. This will probably kill live. Wish we had a higher quality version!

I agree. This really seems like it fits in YZ universe. Lyrics and vibe. Year One album coming soon?

They put something inside of me
The smile is red and it shines all black
I don't think I'll be coming back

I don't believe and I
I had to see am I
I came back haunted
I came back haunted
I've said goodbye but I
I had to try, yeah
I came back haunted
I came back haunted

Everywhere now reminding me
I am not who I used to be
Am afraid this is just begun
Consequences for what I've done, yeah

I don't believe and I
I had to see am I
I came back
I came back haunted (I came back haunted)
I came back haunted (I came back)
I've said goodbye but I (I've said goodbye and I)
I had to try and I (I had to try)
I came back
I came back haunted (I came back haunted)
I came back haunted (I came back)

I don't believe and I (I don't believe and I)

I came back
I came back haunted (I came back haunted)
I came back haunted (I came back)
Tried to tell me but I (tried to tell me but I)
I couldn't stop myself (I couldn't stop myself and I)
I came back
I came back haunted (I came back haunted)
I came back haunted (I came back haunted)

Just can't stop
Came back haunted
Just can't stop
Came back haunted
Just can't stop
Came back haunted
Just can't stop
Came back haunted
Just can't stop

those... Are some TR lyrics. And I love em for it.

**Max Leo** · 06-05-2013, 11:41 PM

I don't like it. XD

I usually like everything that TR releases, so I guess I'll like it when I've listened to it a billion times or in the context of the album, but I seriously like any song from "Welcome Oblivion" (great album imo) much better than this single.

Maybe the sound quality is not the best to judge the music, I don't hate it, but I just don't love it, and his voice sounds awful, but maybe it's just me, idk.

His voice sounds fine to me.

Hey look! It's the other guy that doesn't like this song!

I actually also like Welcome Oblivion much more, and I wasn't exactly thrilled about that one either. Although it did grow on me.

This is just bland pop music, plain and simple. But, to be fair, this is the single, and I rarely like singles....

*edit*

The better quality version of this is actually much better, surprisingly. Maybe it'll grow like Welcome Oblivion.

YES, IT GETS BETTER!

**masamune3570** · 06-05-2013, 11:47 PM

oh fuck this longer version is what i'm talkin about

**thefragile_jake** · 06-05-2013, 11:48 PM

The downward spiral font!!!!!

**thefragile_jake** · 06-05-2013, 11:48 PM

Holy shit, this 5 minute version guys...

**gorast** · 06-05-2013, 11:49 PM

"from nin.com"

That'll shut up the Apple haters.

I was kind of hoping that one of the prints would be the single cover, not a collection of them. Oh well. Still cool art.

**poinoup** · 06-05-2013, 11:49 PM

I geeked out at the font on the cover.

And headphones + soundcloud's version is tremendous.

**Ruined** · 06-05-2013, 11:49 PM

I've been playing this on repeat, as I'm sure many have. I love it! By the way, that drone/bass-line reminded a lot of that creepy drone you hear while watching some of the more disturbing scenes in "Irreversible." Great song; I cannot wait for the full album.

**danebraddy** · 06-05-2013, 11:50 PM

The longer version is so much better - the radio edit was good, but the full version sounds right

**FernandoDante** · 06-05-2013, 11:53 PM

**xfocalinx** · 06-05-2013, 11:54 PM

I am so excited for the future.

Glad I'm not the only one who picked up on that.

I dig it. Best NIN track ever? Maybe not, but I think anyone with a soul could groove to this.

Yeah, I'm hearing it now. Makes more sense. Thanks!

**Mr.Benjamin** · 06-05-2013, 11:56 PM

Who can't see Trent grooving to this when playing it live!

Cool artwork, but I don't like the recycled TDS font vibe of it. What I'm thinking is that the sound of this album will be a kind of review of every era of Nine Inch Nails, mixed with his new sonic orientation..... The new song... Is very power pop.... almost like the theme to a super hero movie.

**accelestar** · 06-05-2013, 11:58 PM

Anyone know how to extract audio from soundcloud?

Agreed. It's a great refresher.

**butter_hole** · 06-05-2013, 11:59 PM

this explains them using the old NIN font on the website!

**DigitalChaos** · 06-06-2013, 12:01 AM

Well, the album's twentieth anniversary is next year, and Russell Mills is apparently the artist for this album. It feels very throwback-y in nature, even though the music isn't.

I like how Trent always just rolls with whatever happens in regards to studio material.
