I liked ghosts, but this is a step back in the wrong
direction.

I found ghosts to be a bit boring, try Final-One for a far
more interesting record with a similar 'feel'.

I hope this is better

It is a lot better than ghosts, but you still CAN'T get that
WOW feeling when you could wait and wait for years for a new
release.

this one seems to have been produced/manufactured very fast
- which is not that bad since you know that Finck (he's ace)
replaced that emo shit North - but i think that, even though
i really like this download release, i'm a fan of a Fragile
CD1 era NIN, i think.

More depth, please

i am shocked anyone on xltronic would consider this better
than ghosts (i would not be shocked however if they also
simultaneously think smojphace is Aphex twins best work)

There's some good stuff here. I'd place its sound somewhere
between Year Zero and Ghosts. Upon first listen anyway, it
seems like a pretty logical direction for nine inch nails.
I'm a fan and I'm pleased with this.

I really can't see what that "direction" is - pretty hate
machine, broken and the downward spiral all sounds different
too me, but all really good. the fragile/with teeth/year
zero/the slip is just a blur with someone yelling & trying
to sound emotional backed with disted drums... The direction
is loop?

(but - just listened once yet to the slip, that pianopiece
and the low dronepiece with actually be
something.....bearable?)

I like it about as much as Ghosts.

In the end you can't really complain about a free album...
at least he's not "selling out"... probably costs HIM money
to host this stuff.

Corona Radiata and The Four of Us are Dying are brilliant,
the poppier tracks like Echoplex are way better than the
ones on with teeth. There are a couple of tracks i don't
care for but overall i really like it, and its free, who can
complain.

I wish he hadn't turned into such a lazy drum programmer.
It's really bothered me these first few listens. Still quite
catchy though.

I really like his attitude: "Thank you for your continued

...hehe, guess I actually want to pay now for the
vinylversion of my current favorite nin-track... keep up the
good work, Trent!

er yeah... listened to a few tracks and I really liked them
actually, I've yet to check the whole album.

I listened to the whole of Ghosts I... hmm some bits were
great but on the whole there was too much filler material
that let it down as an album. it was free anyways, so I'm
not complaining.

Thumbs up. I like The Slip (especially digging "Echoplex"),
but yet again its NIN, meaning there is little surprise
here.

I'm still waiting to here something from Trent that will
make me say "Wow! That's NIN? It sounds so completely
different!"

its better than Year Zero and With Teeth.

Plus I like that it has a relatively short running length.
Trim a couple tracks off, and this one could be as tight as
Broken EP was.

i think 'echoplex' is up there with some of his best work...
the tension from 2:50ish on is amazing... you know when a
song just loops and loops, but it's fucking amazing... and i
love the lalalala's..... i agree with the lazy drum
programming comment, but for some reason in echoplex
(possibly the laziest drums he's done in a long time) it
seems to add to the greatness...

...nowhere near his best album
'echoplex' and 'lights in the sky' tho are nearly his best
songs ever...

my opinion
james.

The first nin you heard, eh?

I'll tell you what's good. Get Fixed and Further Down the
Spiral. They are both rmx EPs featuring Aphex, Coil, JG
Thirwell (Foetus, Steriod Maximus, Venture Brothers
soundtrack).

The proper albums they support, Broken and The Downward
Spiral are pretty good too but, the rmxs are more
instrumental with less vocals.

Fixed while looking rather pretty is the most terribly
unexciting thing they ever put out. all the remixes are
really bad. Further Down the Spiral was the best of the
remix records and Things Falling Apart wasn't that bad
either but any one of the main records put the remix EPs to

shame as they should.

yep, i agree fixed is awful apart from the first happiness
in slavery remix...

i thought things falling apart was really underrated tho...

well, i remembered liking fixed. to be honest it
had been quite a while. i went and downloaded it again, and
you guys are right it is a bit meh.

ok so withdraw that, and instead the march of the pigs
single has some good mixes, particularly the reptilian mx.

probably the best song he's ever done.

vinyl copies of fixed go for about £15.
