Is anyone here as keen in the NIN as I am? If so, what are your thoughts on the upcoming With Teeth album and tour?

[saturnine]

hell yeah.. it's gonna kick our asses. old school pretty hate machine shit

[Antipop]

I thought it was called "It Bleeds through" or is that something else? Look forward to it, whatever its called.

[Lauren]

i love nin. passionately.

im excited for the new album. pretty hate machine was awesome. 'only time' is such a hot song.. i love 'the fragile'. someone decribed it as 'the sound track to hell.. in a good way.'

[mrs jesus]

yeah, it was gonna be called bleedthrough, at first

 

with teeth now, ehh, nin rules

 

maybe ill actually get to see them this tour, thatd be pretty sweet

[Sparq]

I am...pretty much a brand new NIN fan, as of mere weeks ago. Been trying to get my hands on more stuff recently.

[saturnine]

they've got quite the library to acquire..

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

I started listening to them less than a year ago and im only missing 3 discs out of over 18. One of those is quite rare and the other 2 seem to exist only in Europe. But I'd recomend getting The Fragile first, because it's kind of a mix of Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral. And speaking of The Downward Spirals, make sure you get one of the re-releases, because I have all three versions, which is totally uncalled for. Any predictions on what the new album will be like?

[Sparq]

I have Pretty Hate Machine, Downward Spiral, Fragile, and Broken, as well as several others which are almost entirely remixes of the aforementioned albums. And yeah, I do intend to legitimately....'reaquire' these next time I hit a music store...if they have them.

you can get them if you look harder..

 

new album should sound like broken/tdn. no instrumentals, no lengthy tunes.. just straightforward ass kicking

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

"12 good punches to the face." Based on what he's said I'm thinking it's going to be a mixture of the non-instrumentals from Broken and the srumming style found on Still. And Dave Grohl is drumming, so that should be all kinds of sexy.

[deadstar]

NIN is definitely one of my all-time favorite bands, so I can't wait for the new album to come out (I liked 'bleedthrough' better as a title, though).

[Gossard]

Overated.

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

BACK THAT UP OR I WILL GET CLOSER ON YOUR ASS!

[borntohula]

Overated.

like the rat said you should validate your comment with some kind of... proof.

 

for example:

 

"gossard's opinion doesn't count because he has no proof"

 

there.

 

 

now you try.

[saturnine]

it also helps if you spell the word correctly. if nin are overrated, then matt good is the equivalent of usher

[cavalier_eternal]

i love the get closer on your ass comment... haha.

 

i haven't listened to much NIN, but i've started to. it's different. i kinda like it.

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

I'd have to say that musically speaking, meaning just talking about the craft of the music, it's some of the best stuff I've ever heard. I find that for every song I can sit there and just listen to the music and think of nothing else, and each time I can focus on a new aspect of the song. They are so multilayered and well timed, and well mixed that this sentence could go on forever. Trent Reznor deals with a relatively limited amount of subject matter, but so few songs sound the same (except for ones that are pretty much the same, which is a whole different kind of cool [see La Mer/Into the Void for further details])

[Kharmalina]

I really dig NIN and am quite stoked about the new album. I only have The Downward Spiral, Broken, and Fixed, but I love them all to death. Hopefully it's equally as kickass as most everything else Trent's ever done.

[saturnine]

i really can't stress getting the fragile enough.

[Sparq]

I do like the idea of having so many mixes and versions of the same song, like the two versions of Near Fantastica. Or, as I am listening to now, we've got The Wretched, then we've got The Wretched (Version - Keith Hillebrandt), which is just a whole different kind of badass. It's classy.

[Lauren]

i'm not much into the remixes. i have further down the spiral and i'd really rather just listen to the downward spiral.

maybe i need to listen to it more, you know, get into it more.

trent reznor's voice is so sexy. and its so emotional! i'd hate to start up the nin/cash debate, but come on. it's like cash is just singing any other song. reznor puts everything into it.

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

I watched Cash's video for Hurt in my Religion class a few times, and had to listen to the professor talk about how the lyrics are pro-Christian, thn someone busted out that it wasn't a Johnny Cash song. But he kept up that it was all like "Jesus Rocks!" even though on the same CD you could find a song entitles Heresy, but then who's counting?

 

PS. I like the Johnny Cash version but the original just does so much more emotional justice to the song.

[saturnine]

your professor is a moron

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

Girl you know it. I'd like to see Matt Good cover Head Like a Hole, but acoustically.
