New Kamasi Washington and Gang Gang Dance also come out on June 22nd so on top of my anticipation for Bad Witch and the new Death Grips, there's so much to be excited for that day.
Interested to hear your take on the new DG songs as they do seem to be the most polarizing batch of songs they've released thus far. I really like them and I'm pumped to hear Year of the Snitch in full. Even preordered the vinyl like I did with Bad Witch.
Like you though, I haven't been able to stop listening to God Break Down the Door. I heard a little snippet of the low quality leak Ahead of Ourselves, but stopped it pretty early to experience it in full.
When I think of “weaponized noise” in relation to NIN, I hear the theme to Tetsuo. THAT was weaponized fucking noise...
tbh I liked Black Paint, but not in a way that makes me wanna listen to it everyday (like GBDTD) but the other ones wasn't the same, sadly.
I really hope that I'll enjoy the rest of the songs.
And I've heard the low quality leak of Ahead Of Ourselves too, my hype level just raised a lot to listen it in a great quality.

For anyone who ordered the package with the signed postcard from JB Hi-Fi, I just received this:
Fuck. Yes.the details are as follows: Unsure of sizing, but assuming it will be the size of a CD case; it will be signed by both Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and they are legitimate signatures, not printed.
Fuck's sake, why didn't I know about that? Is there anywhere else doing something similar?

hah. made my day. Seriously looking forward to a listen of the new album.
This waiting is fucking killing me...I keep checking in, hoping to see a "spike" when a leak finally happens!
When I read "confound" I think 'In This Twilight' which is an amazing track and vocals. More recently 'GBDTD' is a sound I wouldn't have expected... but 'She's Gone' kind of opened the door. (no pun intended)
So what would confound my expectations? I know what to expect and if I'm to expect the unexpected then I'm now expecting rap? full orchestra?
Or maybe It's got piano, guitar, bass....
It'd be dope if the $175 bundle came with an autograph.
But if I have to, I'll order another copy *shrug* If I can find one with the card. If nothing else, I'd still really like the off-white vinyl.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_4004
My son has a science encyclopedia and while we were looking through it tonight I stopped dead in my tracks as I saw a familiar shape I had been puzzling over. Image 5 on the cover of Bad Witch.
Now we can puzzle over the meaning of the images, but at least now we know what one of them is - the Intel 4004. The first microchip sold. Changed the world. Brought us to the place Reznor is questioning today. Touches on the themes he has dealt with all of his career.
On the cover we see images that depict mortality, spirituality, humility and awe, beauty and ugliness, modern and ancient... very deep and very reflective of the questions he seems to be asking throughout the trilogy.
As with everyone else, I eagerly await June 22.
Seriously guys. I know we're all cool as fuck around here but if you spot something like this, please don't wait until AFTER it's sold out to tell anyone about it.
Yeah it was def. posted in at least two different places on ETS. We were all nervous if they would be real sigs or printed ones. This confirmation def. makes me feel better about the impulse buy. Gonna be pretty cool. I don't own anything signed by Trent.
So, spoilers.
We now have snippets from Shit Mirror, Over and Out and a new one from Ahead of Ourselves.

And some lyrics for one song:
Spoiler: Shit Mirror lyrics from AZLYRICS (and also before on Reddit):
Got a new face and it feels alright
Power and strength and appetite
I eat your loathing, hate, and fear
Should probably stay away from here
Hey look what's staring back at you
Caught reflecting in your eyes
Well I'm becoming something new
It's getting hard to recognize
New world
New times
Mutation
Feels alright
I tried a bit, then I tried some more
I left her on the bathroom floor
I think I knew when it crossed the line
I think I knew the whole goddamned time
Hey look what's staring back at you
Caught reflecting in your eyes
Well I'm becoming something new
It's getting hard to recognize
New world
New times
Mutation
Feels alright

It's real. The Ahead of Ourselves snippet is new and clean, and if you've heard the song from the listening station, it's the one.
Anyone with access to the EP. It's probably watermarked so he can't release it in full. My girlfriend works in the music industry, she often gives me full albums before their release (even for really big artists) but I can't put them online because the label would trace it (sadly she doesn't have access to any NIN).
Edit: SHAZAM confirms the snippets are real.
