If this album does well, Trent might be the new Greg Kurstin and be the go to producer for pop artists everywhere. I am just waiting for the new Cardi B/Megan Thee Stallion 'Wet Ass Pussy Chains & Whips Remix' by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross...

If this album does well... or poorly... or so so... Trent and Atticus are going to continue doing whatever the fuck they want.

Indeed - me too.
To be honest - i'm sure most pop-stars are just 'normal' people behind the cameras - but I'd like to see her do well -there's some fandom there now. I saw my my wife go through two pregnancies, give birth etc - and a lot of the lyrics on this album REZnORnated with me (lol - i've had a couple of beers - it only gets worse from here. Also - just listening to HTDA again - the parallels are pretty strong - and there some AWESOME tracks now a listen again...).
On another note, I just got this notification:

Do Trent and Atticus just cart that massive wall of knobs around with them for random photoshoots?

I imported the CD into iTunes, and the description indicates the album is from 2022.

If it's pop - it needs a feat.

I had a miscarriage in 2010 and someone in the YouTube comments of Bells of Santa Fe said it might be about that and I ended up in tears AND getting goosebumps at the same time. I really want this album to do well, I feel for Halsey

This slowed//reverb version is pretty decent.

Unless Kanye releases his album, this one is going to be #1 by all projections.
''More'' from the last album is also about that.

Trent is looking skinny in those pictures! If you showed 2021 Trent to people in the 90’s, they’d go, “yeah, that seems right.” But then if you showed them 2006 Trent immediately afterwards, they’d go, “huh?”

Man, the With Teeth era was so underrated. Buffed-out buzzcut Trent and his '06-'07 live band were tightly controlled chaos. I revisited their material a few years back when I was going through some identity struggles. It helped to see someone like Trent go through his transformation and come out the other side a chad, if you'll pardon the meme. I think I needed to internalize some of that. I'd gotten too comfortable living with a negative mindset and it was stifling my growth.

The Devil is in my kiss.
They saw a crack in her armor? Oh boy...
Not to mention how fucking uncomfortable the two of them look next to her chillin there like a... Yeah, I'm not gonna finish that, it's just gonna get misunderstood, lol.
There's undeniably big opportunites and money involved in becoming big time pop album producers. Imagine this shit gets nominated for Grammys, or wins...
..and sadly, a much better lifestyle for someone well in his 50s, compared to a usual album / touring life...

My first impression of this is pretty solid. There are a couple really great tracks, but no surprise, the moments on here I like the most are the ones that feel the most like NIN.
I am just not really into these kinds of vocals. She's talented for sure, but I don't typically get into music that is this vocally driven.
I thought there was a chance that the NIN influences would overshadow and dominate the whole thing, and they really don't. I probably would have liked it more if they did, but it's probably a good thing, ethically, they didn't. Trent's presence is definitely felt, but it feels tasteful and professional more than anything else.

I hope it does. I'd love to see more.
The guy has been PROLIFIC over the last few years.
I'm just sitting here how lucky we are to follow someone as musically brilliant as Trent and NIN - in a different life, you could have ended up never picking up that TDS record, or WT record - and instead picked up a record by Nickleback (i kid, i kid) and never heard of NIN.
As long as he keeps producing QUALITY art - I don't mind who he collaborates with. Infact - it interests me more - to see what's really possible.
Trent mentioned a couple of years ago about doing a collaboration album (maybe as a joke?) - but I think what him and Atticus are doing right now is better. Health, then Danny Elfman, now Halsey.
Please don't stop.

Just heard "Nightmare (Reprise)" and the "reimagining" of "Gasoline". So...to be callous and cynical for a moment...if Ghosts I-IV could be viewed SOLELY as Reznor saying "hey, the guy that wrote the 'fuck you like an animal' song wants to make movie scores and is actually really good at it", then the Reznor/Ross versions of these established Halsey tracks could be viewed as Reznor and Ross saying "hey, the guy who wrote the 'fuck you like an animal' song and who then won Oscars for scoring Oscar films wants to make pop music less pop and more interesting and is actually really good at it".
Not to say that was their motivation for doing IICHLIWP, but this just proved to an entire section of the industry that they can succeed and exceed expectations in that area.
I agree that the two of them can do and will do whatever they want next, just saying that THIS is proof to people in the industry that they can.

Apparently, in music production terms, "treatments" means "effects":

he doesnt need to be in tour shape, just healthy shape. Im sure he will bulk up when its time to get back out there.

The album is up on Bandcamp now. At $10.90, it's the cheapest digital price available for 24-bit hi-res lossless:

I keep seeing people talk about Instrumentals. Where can you get these? Lossless would be nice. To be honest, I am not feeling Halsey's voice.
Throbbing Member
Thought it was time to dig up and edit in this old monster. I'm not sorry.
Stubby Member
Yeah, I was kinda looking for this too. I don't mind her vocals, I just like to collect instrumentals.I keep seeing people talk about Instrumentals. Where can you get these? Lossless would be nice. To be honest, I am not feeling Halsey's voice.

HMV has an exclusive CD with People Disappear Here as a bonus track, though not listed on back cover.
It has the censored cover, but has a parental advisory sticker.

Glad someone else said it lol. She comes across as such a self important tool.

Probably gets a nod for the movie and engineering/production. Halsey has only had 2 Grammy nods and one was for one of the most streamed songs ever, so that does not bode well for this release.
Is there any other way somebody from Jersey is supposed to act?
Just tickles my balls!
He keeps looking like John Wick in the last few lot of pictures we’ve seen him in, particularly the tuxedo.
