I was startled by the major chord pop progression of the verse at first, then the noisy chorus was cool. I lost it when the second verse came in double tracked. Ha! Love it.
Btw I think all of you guys who are exploding about "HOW FUCKING BAD THIS FUCKING SONG FUCKING SUCKS" should probably go listen to disappointed like 1,000.. no until you can't anymore.
I think there's a good reason Trent released CBH and Copy of A and hasn't played this live. I think this was held back to avoid instant negative attitudes against the album. He's smart enough to know what the reaction would be like.
Personally, I like the song, i'd like to think I get the point of it and the irony and the meaning/message behind it. Trent didn't make this song because he's trying to make accessible poppy songs to appeal and sell to the masses. The tone and sound of the song is as much a message as it's lyrics.

Alright after a few more listens and I still don't know what I'm thinking. It starts out like the other two songs and I'm bopping my head and then the vocals come in and I'm like what the hell? Is this real? Then I'm kind of digging it and then the chorus kicks in and I'm rocking. Then we get The Cure bridge and its cool. Then the second verse hits and I'm really like WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? But I'm still digging it weirdly. And the chorus comes in and I'm rocking again. This is certainly not what I was expecting but it's growing on me.
Oy. Not understanding the desire to say "well, at least it's not as bad as [some other track poster assumes everyone hates]." There is no one track everyone hates, so then more fap erupts about what is a RIGHT AND TRUE NIN song...
I'd love to read more thoughtful discussion of the track instead of endless fighting on which posters are RIGHT AND TRUE, but I gather that's a conversation to be had someplace that isn't here.
Immediately this song is the best I've heard so far from Hesitation Marks. I've always wanted to hear Trent go positive. Man. The dream has come true..... Nine Inch Nails style positive... I really like it. In fact, this is the best NIN I've heard since the With Teeth album.

I'm just surprised that more people are annoyed at the really cool new nine inch nails song than Trent's response to what album he's into lately.
(Really cool album, definitely cool that Trent's been listening, but I figured nin fans would get arsey about it haha)

That could prove exciting. The quality of great producers lies in their ability to navigate an artist into waters uncharted. We laugh about struggling as a fan base to handle the affect of the new material, when in reality, I would rather Reznor walk out of recording an album saying that it shook him to the bone, not, "frankly, it's fucking amazing", or whatever he was jazzed on.
The shock should come from him, manifested in us. Not i'm great, here's my jam, deal with it.
heh what a buncha whiners.

People who feel the need to actually complain and bitch about a song are not true fans of music. If you don't like the song, that's fine. Critique it. I don't understand the argument that it's bad because it doesn't sound like prior material or what you think it should sound like. It's your own thoughts and preconceived ideas about the music getting in the way of being able to like it on it's own merits.
Late to the party. Anyone wanna PM me? Please? It can't be as bad as people are making it out to be
I hate this song, too but the production on it is very, very nice. However bad Trent's music get's some times the production is usually the best around.
This is such an obnoxious thing to say. the quality of music is peaks and valleys. to suggest that because he doesn't like the music now means that he wont like future material is so bizarre. Not to mention the whole mentality of exclusion that this represents. Furthermore, Clint illustrated a very concrete thing he doesn't like about the music. An understandable thing not to like, it seems crazy to me but the debate seems to be like this:
"I don't like the album because of reasons x, y, and z"
"you are a baby. You should just like the album because not liking it is immature" - Rob Sheridan
Am I crazy or were disagreements in the past or at least in other sections of the board hashed out more reasonably than this?
please show me where this argument is being made, because I haven't seen any posts like that.Originally Posted by voidnz

I just listened to it again. It's sticking in my head.
Maybe it's a grower?
I still love Copy of A best though.
I just don't want nine inch nails to become the nascar of the record industry.
I remember reading somewhere that Trent didn't decide which song would be the first single, that it was the record company. A lot of posts back someone mentioned that there was another song Trent had in mind(possibly everything), but they thought CBH was a better choice.
Everything would have been an interesting first single, after such a long break, would have shocked a lot of people. I am excited to see how this one fits on the album.
I think it will make sense in the context of the album, sound right, make the story flow. Also, I think he is trying to show how multidimensional the album will be!! Once again, I like it the more I listen to it.
