damnit it looks badass |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't see the difference except a 2nd disc with some selected tracks from the remixes releases, and 3 demo versions of songs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
clearly in need of money because it's been 20938472903847 years since the last album . . . |

yeah... as much as i love NIN, i am not buying the downward spiral over again for three demo tracks. the sonic youth dirty deluxe edition was way better. it had all the b-sides and tons of unreleased rehearsal jams. it's excellent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this does look like a bit of a moneygrabbing device. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

if you have the normal edition and Further Down The Spiral, you have the best i think... (i have downloaded all tracks from both editions from Further Down The Spiral and made a playlist with them, sometimes it's a bit redundant but there are some really great remixes/tracks in there!) just download Dead Souls if you don't have it yet, it's a great song and one of the least angst-ridden NIN songs i know - almost upbeat! (i have yet to hear the original by the way - now that i think of it, i'm not sure i have ever heard anything by Joy Division/New Order...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(Joy Division cover). not the best sound quality but what the hell, just ask the blue bird for a better quality : ) |

i remember when i bought the fragile and listented to it for the first time. i enjoyed the music, but then trent reznor sang the pathetic lines "the clouds will part and the sky cracks open and god himself will reach his fucking arm through just to push you down, just to hold you down" (the state of mind of a 13y old goth-outcast) which made the whole music ridiculous. he may have some idea of music making - but he's rather stupid (that's why he shouldnt sing his embarrassing "poetry"). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's mixed in 5.1 - i imagine with the right setup it will sound gorgeous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you should let him do exactly what he wants to do, it's his music not yours. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

oooh touchy! |

hey, it's rock music. since when is it the criteria of rock "must always have mind-blowingly brilliant lyrics"? in general, sometimes lyrics can come off as cheesy or hackneyed or whatever. not everyone will have the same taste. you could take just about any poem ever written and put it into a context that makes it seem lame. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"you could take just about any poem ever written and put it into a context that makes it seem lame." really? I would like to see you do this.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so would i. i'm not sure i could. but i figured you'd say that. that's why i included the failsafe, "just about" to allow for the plethora of exceptions to the rule. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HA! very good, carry on. :) (I think, if you really want to, you can indeed find faults in a lot of poetry. but some poetry is easier to shoot holes into than others and you could just as easily see that as a prime criterium for what devides good from bad poetry: the easier it is to find fault (the more obvious the faults are), the worse the poetry is...) |

i already have heard all the xtra songs, except for the demos, it will be nice to have this collection all on one cd then trent doesnt need the money by any means he basically self-made a genre of music who doesnt list theri influneces as nin ? ill get it, dont really care about thre remastering i knew about this a few weeks ago and have been listening to "the downward spiral" cd, its a perfect ANGST cd cant wait for BLEEDTHROUGH ps i met my wife @ nin, omaha, feb13,1995 |

i think Refund is right, let people do the music they want! : ) but welt is also right, let people have the opinion they want about the music... anyway i think the worst lyric lines by NIN are the ones that come right after the ones welt mentioned: "(the clouds will part and the sky cracks open and god himself will reach his fucking arm through just to push you down just to hold you down) stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss and it's hard to believe it could come down to this back at the beginning sinking spinning" ... this just makes me cringe. getting your inspiration from the toilet can be ok, but not when you're making "serious" music... : | |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...well, i still like NIN nevertheless and i'll surely give a listen to this new album when it comes out in 2007. |
||||||||
|

spring/summer 2006 |

i don't know whether he's got a lot of money or not. i heard that his former manger or agent had him sign away just about all his rights and screwed him out of millions and that's what the lawsuit is about. we could only speculate. are these deluxe editions a scam? in some ways i think they're great. it's sort of like getting the DVD re-release of a VHS. that's why i was hoping that the downward spiral would have more unreleased stuff on it - because i already have all the other tracks on cd... oh well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, if i remember, it was originally planned for 2004, then spring 2005, then christmas 2005, then... |
||||||||

if you're offering a cd that really only is now in surround and add stuff that most of the fans already have anyway, plus you produce two formats that have slightly different content each, that does rather sound like trying to make a nice little bit of money. it doesn't matter how many people say Reznor influenced them, that doesn't mean you can pull off a stunt like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
futher down the spiral, anyone? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nin these days, imo. . . needs more instrumentals. they sound far too produced to me now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
trent is a MASTER @ producing, the innocent days of "pretty hate machine" are over, move onto the future cant wait for BLEEDTHROUGH. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey, i liked pretty hate machine. it had this ghetto goodness about it that is hard to find these days. come on, admit it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well yeah but seeing it was released in 1988, we will never hear that same sound from trent again, or any muscian ps i have ALL the Halos, do you ? met my wife @ a nin show, blah blah blah youve all heard the story 1000 times |
||||||||

i think he's a cunt for taking the time to add the typewriter blur effect on that webpage |
||||||||

|
|
you lack creativity sometimes mister |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you think he does that himself? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heard about this a while ago, personally I cant wait to get it to replace my scratched cd I bought ages ago. Nice to have the extra tracks too, i'd rather have cd quality than shitty downloads. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im sure he had some input on the idea though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know, i didn't mean that. Just meant he wasn't spending ages actually doing that for the website. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aw man, do you know how many copies of TDS i have already bought? sheesh. i am hard on stuff. this is why i don't buy cds; i know i won't take care of them. plus i already have all that stuff, minus the demos, which i don't really know how much i care about. ehh, i'm thinking i'll pass. |
||||||||
|
|

|

NIN, ahahahahahahahahahaahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHH.. ahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...NIN. Ahaha..ha. They are a joke-band, after all, aren't they? The goth Spinal Tap, the industrial Tenacious D. Like Mortis, aren't they? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"The goth Spinal Tap".. is there any other kind of goth? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Uh-oh, Nin and Mortis both in one thread, I must format! |
||||||||

I think those lyrics posted are really bad. But not because I think they are uncreative or something, but because it seems very insincere. I don't know how mr. Reznor views the world, or whatever, but, to me, it seems pretty egotistical and unwarranted for someone who is making a living as basically a "rock star" to say that. In fact it makes relatively little sense for nearly any american to say that. I know there are many privileged people who are very depressed or angry for various reasons, but they are usually better at expressing their state of mind/reasons for feeling that way, other than stupid shit that says basically "God hates me." If god exists (s)he must hate everyone, but not equally. Most anyone who has the time/effort to sulk about trivial shit, and revel in it, has been blessed much... So much that they are actually able to focus on and dwell on their negativity, instead of worrying about just staying alive... Those people are, instead, constantly being faced by REAL, tangible problems, like starvation, war, etc... -Things that should justify sorrowful emotions. - The people who actually have to go through a physical hell every day are the ones, and I think, the only ones who should say/express things like Trent often says. The human race sickens me sometimes. It's like we have run out of problems so we create them out of next to nothing and severely over-exaggerate. I'm not saying I am above this, but seeing it just really bothers me when people are so drawn to it and condone it. I think Reznor's a talented, brilliant musician who's lyrics are often too full of his self-pity. He could be taking that negativity and using it to reflect the world, criticizing what needs to be changed, or making something that people can relate with, other than naive kids saying "Oooh. How deep this is. I also hate life." Or something. Sorry for the unneeded rant. |

i'll probably pick this up. also sorta excited about the closure dvd... i have low expectations for bleedthrough though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you have "the downward spiral" and "further down the spiral" you basically have this, trent is whipping the dead horse, imo but "still" was so good i think i will forgive him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the closer single was crap too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought the closer single was totally awesmoe. my other copies of tds are either lost or scratched to the bjesus belt and back. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"closer" is a good song, but the b-sides on the closer-single are shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? halo 9? fuck. now i'm having to re-evaluate the entirety of 1994. |
