Add Violence

I like how since the "ENGAGE" light is off the cover implies that they're disengaged

[grime_z]

That fucking chorus is huge!

Yes, everyone seems to be disengaged.

[dzaver]

they changed the price of the bundle with everything in it. first it was 40 GBP, now its 50 GBP. Why is that?

What happened to the beats 1 interview? I've been trying to get it to play all morning!

[cdm]

There were something like 4 or 5 variations of NTAE cover art. Looks like the same art image was posted to Instagram. Same on Spotify?

[OSLIN]

Well, the lyrics are inherently political if you choose to read into them. Insanely good.

Definitely agree. This could be leading to a 2022 YZ follow-up (The real Year Zero).
It would also fall on the 15th anniversary of the album.

[Wretchedest]

would you say that the album art is a... Pretty Hate Machine?

[Toadflax]

No. No, I would not.

'Less Than' is really awesome. Love the lyrics and the sound.

This this song about Trump and Americans?


P.S. I LOVE IT WHEN HE USES HIS TAMB

[Kyle]

Did I miss anything exciting in the first half of the interview? Anyone recording?

[ROFLRICK]

Just ordered the Physical Component, and will pick up the—MUTHERFUCKIN' JESUS YES HALLELUJAH—CD when it's available. Vinyl, too.

I wonder if there will be a CD for Not the Actual Events?

It sounds like a directed attack on Trump and the whole idea of it. That's if you choose to hear it. So good!

[Conan The Barbarian]

This song is the fucking shit.

I went and got the physical component. I want to get the vinyl, but I feel a box set is coming once these are fully released.

[Kyle]

The background world is apparently over 11 minutes long according to Zane. That's not the usual nin

[fallenturtle]

Noticed some familiar scuffs or something:

The knob being partially between Manual and Add Violence is driving me nuts... which I assume in intentional (causing anxiety).

[Kyle]

Is this Beats 1 show not in stereo? Because I'm only hearing half the vocals at the end of dear world. It's a kind of neat effect

[thefragile_jake]

Yeah, I'm loving it the single and the video is pretty great too. This has to be one of his most less abstract style art work to date, right? This is a political song in the sense of where it doesn't feel as forced, which I think was the problem I always had with Year Zero and why it's my least favorite NIN record to date.

Can't wait to hear the rest of the EP.

WHOA! Just noticed all the other merch too...this might be my favorite.

[Conan The Barbarian]

I am really digging this track. This is better than anything off the previous EP, even though I stilled enjoyed it.

[streetman]

The more I listen to this, the more Capital G vibe I get.

[Helpmeiaminhell (is now in hell)]

Song is better than anything on the previous EP...and the previous EP is the best thing hes done in a decade....TR is on a roll

[Conan The Barbarian]

The more I listen to this, the more Capital G vibe I get.

Except this song doesnt make me think of Micheal Jackson.

[snaapz]

The more I listen to this, the more Capital G vibe I get.

I second that!

[Conan The Barbarian]

I wonder what the envelope will be filled with this time.

NTAF is one my favourite releases from NIN; it's his diary I admire most.

The more "accessible" up beat poppy songs, like this new one, are more friendly and boppy for sure! This track will break my stereo later today.

But NTAE had my jaw dropped.

[Helpmeiaminhell (is now in hell)]

September 1st its coming out on CD. Do we have information what the CD will consist of? Both EPs? 3 EPs together?

According to the interview, EP3 is currently lyrics in a notebook. I haven't seen mention of a NTAE cd (other than the import) so it's safe to assume it's AV only until we hear otherwise.

[simonn]

Just to add - loving this song - love the NIN icons in the video, and most importantly, the smattering of tambourine towards the end.
