So I have reached out to Lakeshore Records numerous times to ask about the vinyl release with ZERO response. I am assuming this release is dead.

It's still got a placeholder on nin.com alongside Quake and the other Definitive Editions. I think the store is preparing to release them all at the same time instead of piecemeal, and they have to make sure they're ready for that before doing any of it. I wouldn't say it's dead until the placeholder disappears from the store.
Finally got my hands on these beautiful babes today..
What's that Greatest Hits CD? A bootleg?
Discogs is your friend: https://www.discogs.com/Nine-Inch-Na...elease/2118682
Didn't realize Pinion was a "greatest hit" (or "And All That Could Have Been" for that matter, though it shoulda been).
And check out the artwork:
The Greatest Hits is a Russian bootleg from 2008, albeit a well-curated one. All of the actual singles up to Year Zero are included, rounded out by crucial album cuts from across the years. I have a similar Deftones 2-CD greatest hits from the same company in 2010 that is equally as thorough. They're both relatively hard to find, so when this one popped up, I jumped on it. I will gladly pay money for an officially sanctioned GH by either band, should they ever materialize..
The FYC Patriot's Day package has -- from what I can discern -- a significant amount of additional score music that was not included on the original PD release. Is anyone familiar with these FYC editions and know why they contain different/additional music than the original releases? I'm pretty sure The Social Network had an FYC edition as well, but I don't own that one yet, so I couldn’t say if it differs or not..
nincatalog is also your friend

Im almost positive in saying that TSN FYC had variation as well. To my knowledge, these releases are different bc they only feature the music as it was heard, and used in the film specifically. And not the necessarily the “finished” final product that will be released at a later date, but I could be wrong
Finally got a not-shitty response. Lakeshore kept giving me the runaround but Imvada at least gave us something in their Instagram AMA
Is this release still happening? Also, does anyone have any knowledge about the next wave of vinyl releases that were scheduled on NiN.com?
Trent and Atticus have done a couple interviews now where they mention that not every scoring experience went as well as they'd like, and I can't help but feel that Patriots Day is the one they're talking about every time. It seems the most out-of-place, aside from maybe Before the Flood, but they even did a vocal track for that one, so I really think it's just this project.
Unless there was another one that they bailed on or never came to fruition? But yeah, of the ones they've released, this is the one I'd put my money on, too.
It's the only movie with TR&AR music I haven't seen yet.
I do think it's one of the strongest scores - maybe because it's much more concentrated than GDT, Gone Girl, or Vietnam. Nearly every track feels distinct to me, like I could put a name to each one if I heard it out of the context of the album.
I suppose it is more obvious when you think about it - big budget action/drama film, big name headlining star, clearly a studio-driven film. It was probably a substantially different experience compared to working with a director like Fincher or Ken Burns, or the smaller scale of Before the Flood. I can't imagine they'd do something like that again.
Well, with no CD and/or vinyl release I finally cracked down and purchased a download of the album last week. I hate when it's digital only.
If they hate Patriot's Day so much than why did they put a placeholder for the vinyl up on NIN.com and why would Lakeshore still to this day say that the vinyl is happening.
I honestly believe none of the test pressings have been approved... With TR/AR on tour and doing the EP's, this is probably still in limbo. AND if the test pressings aren't approved, it then becomes a backwards trail, sometimes all the way back to the lacquer cutting to determine what went wrong. This can be a shit long process to even get to the bottom of and get a new test press out for approval.
For all we know, that test press that Lakeshore posted on Instagram a few months ago, is just sitting at TR's house and they haven't listened to it.
Please don't start the "it isn't happening" train yet until Lakeshore says it's gone.
EDIT:
Well fuck, maybe he does hate PD...

He does say "We've made mistakes," which implies the inclusion of Atticus.
Disliking the process doesn't mean they dislike the music that was made. I highly doubt the vinyl delay is tied to their (theoretical) distaste for the project - it's just that they've been on the road pretty much constantly since 2017, or engrossed in a billion scoring projects, and don't have the time to look over test pressings and art. I think it's that and nothing more regarding the vinyl.
I would assume working on a big budget film means you would have a lot of pressure to bring the best work. It may not be as enjoyable because of that, for sure.
But damn, their score brings so much more depth to the film. "Terminus" when one of the bombers gets run over by the car and then is in the OR coding... That was intense. Before TR/AR, I never really took scores in to account in a film. But I now appreciate scores more than ever.
Spoke with someone at Lakeshore and asked if it was happening or not because fans want to know.
This is their response:
"No updates so far in either direction. - sorry!"
