Re: the exciting news that Challengers might be steeped in house music:

They've covered so much stylistic ground in the scores since we've last heard new NIN, that it really does open up so many questions and possibilities for what a new NIN album could sound like.

I meant the trilogy initially when I first typed this, but it's still true using Together / Locusts as the reference point. Since then, we've gotten Mank (which blew me away), Soul, Empire of Light, Bones & All (which I'm tentatively holding off on to hopefully catch the film first), then this (Challengers).

I mean, that's a HUGE palette to pull from, even if they hadn't made any other music before that.
