The Hand That Feeds: i actually like this one... even though it's cheesy. The Line Beings To Blur: some nice moments. not outstanding though. Getting Smaller: oh dear... -_- i actually burst out laughing when i heard Trent singing "flop flop flop flop flop" and "my world is getting smaller everyday that's okay"... he really is 13 in his head. |
||||||||

|
|
"flop flop flop flop flop"? wtf? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, in "Getting Smaller" at 0:30. "flop flop flop flop flop." best NIN line ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm... i'm a bit worried about this record. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's an improvement. |
||||||||
|

|
ahahahaa oh man, i'm getting NIN tickets in a few hours. and i ask myself, "why?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bet it will be good. they'll play old songs maybe. i bet their new stuff will sound way better live. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
could be fun, I suppose. although when I watch the live dvd I do wonder at which point he thought it would be a good idea to paint his fat face white. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when he saw ogre do it years before as part of legitimate performance art. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my point was more that he has a chubby, hamster-like face. and then he paints it white. doesn't work in your favour, Trent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
did you know that nin's first single "down in it" is based on the rhythm section of skinny puppy's "dig it"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did not know that. I don't know any Skinny Puppy though, so the reference is kind of lost on me. did you know that he ripped the beat in "closer" from "nightclubbing" by Iggy Pop? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha - he didn't think of that wonderful simple beat? skinny puppy are the real pioneers - the industrial "crossover" artists whose style was highly influential to many artists, including reznor. but nin has had success as big commercial rock stars and sp never did. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually i think he's saying "flip flop flip flop flip" either way, i'm not buying this piece of shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, like the hypocrite that i am, i might be seeing Trap Rinser live my girlfriend is gonna try and get us tickets for the Birmingham gig..... anyone else going? if anything, i think it'd be a good venue for some NIN listeners here at xlt to actually meet up? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol i just bought tickets for the may 6th chicago show a half hour ago so i guess i'll be at that one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now that you say it, yes... but even so, "flip flop flip flop flip" isn't much better than "flop flop flop flop flop". and i don't think i'll buy it either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It truly doesn't sound very good so far. Oh well, at least he's a totally conceited asshole so I won't feel like I'm missing out on much when I start disliking him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i remember 1999. everybody treated trent reznor as a genius. know everybody considers him ridiculous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
minus k |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i was a rather huge nin fan, but i think he's a bit of an egomaniac. ...well, he may've always been an egomaniac, but it's becomming ever more obvious to me now, which is more than a little off putting to me. |

everybody on this messageboard maybe but I wouldn't say its the general opinion of nin |

|
|
ha ha! I wouldn't say "everybody on this messageboard" either! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my offline frieds are also hugely dissapointed by the new nin TRAX. it's the general opinion of people i come in contact with. |
||||||||

getting smaller is an embarassing track but its hardly representative of the whole album (hopefully!) I still think The Line That Blurs is a great track, if most of the tracks are at least this good the album should be ok. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, the line begins to blur has something of that old industrial vibe while getting smaller is really emo. but still. all of the tracks are rather conventional 3.5 minutes rock songs with rather embarrasing lyrics. i find it crazy that the person who made THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL and THE FRAGILE now puts out onedimensional shit like the three known with teeth songs. he's probably gone crazy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my theory is that they're probably rough mixes that could have been stolen at any point during the production of the tracks and leaked recently. we don't know what the record will sound like for sure until it comes out. so hold off on your judgements until you can hear what trent reznor wants to present to you in the way he thinks is best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i want him to stop doing albums and focus on creating soundscapes for games and movies and stuff. he should do that, because that's what i think is best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i'll tell him to do that and he will. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That is very kind of you, good sir. I look forward to Trent's new artistic adventures. Exciting times are ahead. |

you're starting to sound a bit cx-y there, arforty. |

|
|
oh, shit. sorry for having one serious post per day. |
||||||||
|
|

i could have said it in a better way, but please don't throw cx at me. come on. i don't really give a shit about the leaks. |

lol, someone has managed to fill SlSk with alot of fake's and they all seem to be computer generated, eg, "joey126" "Craig442" "Samantha423" blah blah blah, anybody know better? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds like the RIAA to me. I've heard about something like this going on about a few other more mainstream releases on SLSK lately. |
||||||||

dang, oh well, if people can recommend elswehere then it would certainly be great to have the opportunity to try before I buy, ;) |

where'd you get these? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my source is embarrassing so i wont name it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think these are short samples looped to sound longer than they really are (unless this album is painfully repetitive). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, they have taken the strong moments off the tracks and looped them indeed... it's pretty obvious, especially in "the line begins to blur". actually these samples sound better than the leaked tracks - except for the repetitive aspect of course. but they're probably less representative as well. i don't know what to think. : / |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, i'm sure thats not the way Trent wanted them to be heard, a few seconds looped :) anyway, parts sound pretty good... i'm kind of looking forward to the album, I can't possibly be dissapointed because expectations aren't too high. |
