Reznor kinda lost me with that last "rock" type album. I was pretty convinced he should get back on drugs... but I'll check this one out; heard some good things about it.

The best way to describe it was in a review i read today, it sounds like it was recorded in factory that makes fuckin Terminators and light sabers.
If I had to try to describe it... I'd say it sounds like a space invaders arcade game being raped in the coinslot with a coat hanger. But in a good way.

Just FYI, it's a concept album set 15 yrs in the future where everything has gone to shit and an alien being type creature is about to rape the earth if we don't get our shit together. In a nutshell...

I've had the album for a little while. Tried listening to it - can't. Thank God I didn't pay for it. Angelspit (http://www.angelspit.net/) is getting the most play on my iPoon, right now.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but Trent Reznor may be the coolest motherfucker in music.

Since parting ways with his record company, he released an instrumental 4 LP set called "Ghosts I-IV". He sold the 4 LP collection through Amazon online and his website for $5 total. I bought it and liked it. It was worth the $5 for nearly 2 hours of new NIN music. If you're a DJ, you can buy the entire album's raw GarageBand/ProTools project files for remixing for $75.

Well, today, Reznor finished mastering a new "traditional" (music + lyrics) NIN single and released it to radio stations. On his website, he says:


Hello everyone. Lots going on...

Some of you may have heard a new Nine Inch Nails track on your radio today. You will be able to download your own copy of the track right here later tonight for free - stop back in a few hours.

What else is going on? Hmmn. We're considering a real-time live webcast of me signing 2,500 copies of the just-arrived, super-ultra-mega-deluxe GHOSTS edition all day Thursday. These really turned out great and I can't wait to sign EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

We have some tour info coming... SOON (I know you love that word) as well as some other info about something else, too.

posted by Trent Reznor at 3:08 PM pst, from los angeles.

Rumor has it that there will be an entirely new NIN album (again, music + lyrics) in two weeks.

Fuckin' A!

I haven't been able to listen to NIN since that sort of "rock-oriented" album from a few years ago. I only heard a few songs of that but I thought it was shit. He needs to get back on drugs and so does Stephen King IMHFO.

I never was a huge fan of NIN, but I saw them play with Rage Against the Machine in L.A. years ago and they put on one hell of a show. People hanging naked upside down and extras from the Road Warrior movies fighting in some kind of pit. Fucking crazy shit.

Now that I have said that I would also like to add that NIN is for tweakers and tweaker slutwhores. :tip:

The three bands I listen to. Days of The New. Alice in Chains and Nine in Nails.

It's the music with the message that the artist is trying to convey that takes it to another level. Some music has no meaning. Just an empty collection of sounds. But when I can listen to the story behind some of the songs that Trent writes (As well as the other two I mentioned) and relate it to my own personal life and emotions, it is truly euphoric. Oh and it helps to be fucking wasted too.

Beansie. what's your favorite Nine in Nails song?

I listened to their early stuff. but checked out when Reznor started getting political. so I'd have to save my fav would be "Head Like a HoleFace".

Yea, "Pretty Hate Machine" is what got me turned onto them first but now I have been listening to "The Fragile" over and over mixing it up with some Days and AIC.

To chose one favorite is near imposible but right now the song "Even Deeper" takes my listening experience to a higher level.

Did anyone read that wild article in Wired a couple months ago about Reznor teaming up with these weird mystery/puzzle designers, creating some sort of global scavenger hunt surrounding his latest record? It was really insane, and the hardcores were quitting their jobs and traveling all over to try and uncover all these ridiculously obscure clues and whatnot.

The rumors were true. A new NIN album was released today.

http://dl.nin.com/theslip/signup

Reznor has basically told Radiohead to suck it and is making multiple compressed and completely uncompressed formats available FOR FREE and encouraging sharing.

How kick-ass is that?

This has gotta be somebody's dream job...Ed? Belasco? Pack your bags for L.A.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/med/656166931.html


Nine Inch Nails is looking for an internet-savvy web and graphics assistant who will work with an art director on a wide variety of tasks relating to web development, graphic design, video editing/production, and online marketing. The ideal person has a flexible and growable range of computer-related skills, and can quickly adapt to software or processes they're not familiar with. Strong web programming skills, a good sense of design and graphics creation/manipulation, and a deep knowledge of the internet and its trends.

I think that's the first time someone on this site has ever used the word ballad on this site.

Thanks for that stunning observation, Mr. Reduntant.

btw, I'm sure that the word "ballad" has been used before on this site, by someone else on this site before he ever used it on this site.
