I just downloaded survivalism, I think the problem is the new NIN seems to have too many songs that are aiming for radio play. Intentional or not, it's just not the same charm as his old stuff. I think he's experimenting, but in stuff like SONG WRITING and shit ... not cool noises and atmospheres. The drums are so thin and wimpy it sounds like fruity loops man ... it's weird he should should know these things man, the guy is Trent Reznor. This is good but it's not cool ... Where is the fucking screaming and crazy noises man? Sexy back sounds more NIN then this new single man ... sorry but it's true :( This isn't moving me at all, I hope the rest of the album has some nin soul to it and less whatever radio friendly formulation. Maybe he's just bored of writing that shit, I don't blame him, but this new direction ... I don't know man ... it's not nearly exciting for me as lets say when the fragile was released or the first time I heard broken/dws. |

out of all the nin i used to listen to i can only put up with broken. oh maybe head like a hole |

This will be hit or miss with most of you. If you do prefer the noise being braught like early NIN check out Alec Empires rock act. he has Charlie Clouser & Merzbow on it with him track recommendations The Futurist- Overdose Intellegance & Sacfifice- Intellegance & Sacrifice oh and if you can find itL Tear it out. that song is hard. his work is more Punk in influence but fits in with Broken & Downward spiral era NIN noiseyness |

You sure say "man" a lot. |
||||||||
|

I really cant stand the " Mother nature is a whore" line. that is lameass Marilyn Manson esque bullshit. didnt think it would get that bad for him. then again he had a song on With Teeth that had the "Everythings so flip flop flip" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you're saying he used slogans from the george w bush campaign of 2004 in With Teeth? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess you could say that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in this twilight is probably the best track so far! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
survivalism is a bit ghey, the others are pretty cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in this twilight is a ballad, me i'm not was a bit better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm that website is might tasty.. i hope thats how the cover will look. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually the cover has already been posted on nin.com |
||||||||
|

Did anybody catch what the sign said in the Year Zero trailer? the top line reads: I am trying. the second line I think reads: to bee ee. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why hasnt this completely leaked yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I think its interesting these days, how albums are determined to be successful or they are given "cred" just in terms of their creative ways of combating piracy before they are physically released. B/c that's what this is essentially about. This whole concept thing is just a rouse to keep us interested and active. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am trying to believe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
, is kinda interesting, but also kinda sucky. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

year zero is turning out to be absolute pure brilliance. this isn't supposed to BE like his other albums: it's something very different. epohs: this isn't a viral marketing exercise. year zero, apparently, is intended to be an experience far more than just the album. see the websites as an unfolding story, or "game"; they're to give far more context to what the album actually means. this certainly has my three thumbs up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, it may be in-depth and interesting and neat, but it is also viral as all get out. What with the hidden puzzles, and nothing pointing directly to what it is or who's sponsoring it. The whole thing is relying directly on internets and word of mouth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IMO the 4 leaked tracks so far, is superior to with teeth as a whole. have to say survivalism is my least favourite of them all but that doesnt mean i dont like it. in this twilight is beautiful as well as me i'm not. I have to agree on the lack of cool background layers of noises/moans/screams like in the downward spiral. I hope trent will release a remix ep again. And i would love some richard devine/clark mixes of some tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think "with teeth" was trent's representation of his "roid rage". which he was obviously struggling with at the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yeah, guess what dude. You just defined Viral Marketing. You gotta call a phone number to start a game, then fuck around on the internets for a scavenger hunt, and get all excited about it with your friends, and then run out and get the album the second it is available. V.i.r.a.l. M.a.r.k.e.t.i.n.g. as clear as you can spell it It's just sad that he had to go this far to wrap an album in mystique after the dick-diarreha that was WithaTeetha. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, the songs are indeed better than his last effort, but it's not as if I'm sitting there like "whoa, this is so deeeep. It sooo needs to be conceptual in order to stand on it's own" Actually, I find the concept to be utterly juvenile and completely heavy handed. It's ripped straight from yesterday's news. At the end of the day, it's still a COMPACT DISC (and most certainly a digipak with blurry photos in it). Truthfully, he'll start entering coneptualization when his music stops sounding like Nine Inch Nails cover songs of Nine Inch Nails songs. |

no matter how much you type, reznor gotta try high to be intrestin this time |

I liked With Teeth, but the other day, I put on With Teeth immediately after listening to The Fragile, and the difference in quality and richness was quite noticable; With Teeth doesn't have half the amount of thought and time put into it as The Fragile does. Year Zero sounds good, but again, it's nothing as intricate as The Fragile. I like the new NIN, but I will always hope he makes something like The Fragile again someday... |

I'm with you on that. |

let us make love under the stars tonight |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

here is an incomplete recording of a year zero listening party, there's a newly leaked song on there--i think it's "the good soldier". quality isn't that great but i can kind pretty groove on it anyway... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kinda i want to, pretty much groove on it, i mean. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not very fond of Survivalism, but check out of it. i like it much better than the original. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quite the opposite here, heh ;] i heard the saul version the other night and i can say i prefer the original, there's more sense in it |
||||||||

On this synth forum I read there is a guy that builds modulars. He is really respected and people wait and wait and wait for his modular synths. He made a synth for NIN which took forever to build and caused a lot of back ordering for other "common folk". They were so proud of it. Pictures and pages of talk all over the net. etc.. A week after Trent gets the synth he throws a bucket of water all over it on stage. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wow. That's pretty lame. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed. but is it true i wonder? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seems as if the whole thing is leaked now, my nin-fan-of-a-friend is forcing me to check it out... I hope it doesn't hurt my ears |

i'm listening to the album now, i'm at track 6 and so far it's really good. i'm surprised |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

the trailor is pretty sweet. i always enjoy his albums, some more than others. i'm excited for this one too. |

woah, norton detected a virus called 'downloader' with that second link. first time norton has ever found anything for me. |

http://yearzero.nin-thespiral.com/FLJoi4gjw2f/player.html The whole album... on his own site.. 192 sounding quality... What's up with this guy?... Respect for him for practically giving his whole album away for free. I like 2 tracks so far (I'm on the 6th one) |
||||||||
|

vessel is mine favourite so far |

thanks for reading other xlters' posts carefully, especially in this thread |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blobula Yes, that was one of the favorites I had. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the whole album is ok , a lot better than Witha Teetha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed, i like very much. high five! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm really appreciating this release. better than the last definitely. definitely not more of the same except for maybe the lyrics themselves though i've never really been a huge fan of his lyrics anyway. musically though this thing has real swagger. i mean like it has some sass to it. something i think that has never really dominated a NIN release. Yeah I like it. so far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the lyrics got much better since he's not singing about "me, my , hurt, lonely, etc."anymore, all the time throughout an album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree. he seems to write in character more. |
