May 3rd.

Official lineup for the band, too.

 

[Bildocube]

Fucking awesome. It's about time.

Now, give us a single.

 

[Ronabo]

Nice, I can't wait.

 

[KingGondo]

This will be the Tour of the Year (TM).

 

[theo]

hooray for no instrumentals

 

[Megafoo Chavez]

yes yes and yes

 

[Nightbreeze]

fuck yes, cant wait.

 

[Kenobi]

Somehow, since this is NIN, much like Nintendo, I am expecting it to be pushed a few months. Either way....Horrah!

 

[mattiewheels]

hooray for no instrumentals

Even though those were pretty much the only thing worth a damn on The Fragile?

 

[theo]

i dont want another fragile

 

[DJ Sl4m]

After the last few releases being so disapointing I don't have much hope anymore.

 

[Willco]

Set your phasers to AWESOME.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

i dont want another fragile

So you want a 40-year-old man that still hates his parents?

All instrumentals, plz.

 

[Bildocube]

WITH TEETH!!!!!!

GRRR!!!!

i never saw a trent song where he bitches at his parents

What the fuck are you talking about? Name ONE NIN song that has anything to do with Trent's parents! I can think of a song about his grandmother, which was more of a tribute to her death than anything.

 

[Sullichin]

The only NIN song that mentions parents is the hidden sample in "Sanctified":

"dear mom and dad, this is the hardest letter i've ever had to write. i'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly so that you'd never have to know about it, but that just isn't possible now. i don't know what's going to happen, but what can i say to you? will 'i'm sorry' make a difference? will it ease the pain? the shame you must be feeling... forgive me... please."

It's sampled from a movie, anyway.

I believe you are mistaking nin for korn

move along plz.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

awesome stuff. I can't wait to hear the new album, I hope the SACD/DVDA releases the same day.

and Closure is done? Dammit I want my Closure on DVD as my tape is dead.

 

[bonesquad]

Sweeeet! Though even if it's not delayed, May 3rd still seems so far off...

And BAH! to all you haters. Fragile was a frickin awsome album. That tour with A Perfect Circle opening was frickin awsome.

 

[ChumsGum]

I thought it was coming in March. Fck!

 

[ToxicAdam]

Actually, a May release is already a "pushed back" date.


Mark me down as somebody who loved the instrumentals on Fragile.

People still want "Head like a Hole" ... but that shit is over a decade old. Bands move on.

 

[tt_deeb]

The Fragile's instrumentals were awesome. Too bad none on this one. Hopefully it's still pretty good, I'd love to see them on tour.

 

[mattiewheels]

I have to admit, the music on the Fragile was good stuff, but the lyrics, HOO BOY. Those are some awful, awful lyrics. When that guy was talking about him hating his parents, he means that he writes lyrics like a 17 year old would, yet he's fucking middle-aged.

 

[Naked Snake]

Kind of OT here: I'm not really into NIN, I only heard The Downward Spiral, and I don't really like most of it, but I think Closer is one of the coolest tunes ever, on a good sound system it sounds so damn good! In fact I just ordered the Deluxe Edition of the album from Amazon.com a few minutes ago for that track alone, so I can listen to it in 5.1 SACD glory.

Can you recommend NIN songs from other albums that you think I might like, given the info above?

 

[gollumsluvslave]

Indeed. 'complication' is one of the best instrumentals ever IMO.

Of course 'we're in this together' is still the best song on the album

 

[gigapower]

excellent news. can't wait to see them on tour.

For audio purposes, I think 'Perfect Drug' is pretty sweet.

Yes yes yes yes yes. I really have nothing else to add.

That one is too obvious, I know it and love it

 

[gigapower]

How about you tell us what songs you DON'T like? And if you say A Warm Place, Eraser, or Reptile you need to just stop listening NIN right now. The flow of those three songs together is just upright fucking genius.

 

[Sullichin]

The entire TDS album is fantastic.. there is a reason they have played pretty much every song from TDS live at one point, and every song from Broken but one (Last), because they kick ass!

I love the Fragile, but I definitley think it has a bit of filler.. Starfuckers, for example. And Complication would have been better set as a b-side. And the Frail isn't worth its own track.

I'm Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally = Best Fragile song.

The Downward Spiral in surroudn sound = best NIN

 

[Bildocube]

Whaaaaaat?!? NIN has played Mr. Self Destruct, Heresy, Ruiner, I Do Not Want This, and Eraser live?!?!?!? I have never seen a NIN setlist taht featured ANY of these songs. I have seen the rest of TDS played once however.

 

[B'z-chan]

Yes yes yes yes yes. I really have nothing else to add.

I'm with this crowd if anyone wants to disagree, see my foot in your ass. The Fragile was one of the first CD's i bought back in 99 i think. I walked to target was like thats a interesting cover. I fell in love with the moody almost operatic tale that the fragile told. It was a experiance and one that i delve into every now and then.

Its too bad that Trent went back to his old ways. I loved the instramentals that he created. But i'm still happy to see him working on something. I wish they would get their asses to my town but i doubt that anyone i want to see will come to this shit hole.

After the stuff he did on Still, I was extremely disappointed to learn that this album would have no instrumentals, whatsoever.

If you're a fan of Reznor's instrumentals and you don't have Still (the bonus disc that came with the deluxe edition of And All That Could Have Been), well, I urge you to seek it out through whatever means necessary.

This man speaks the truth. I wasn't expecting much since it was a bonus CD, but I was blown away by the quality of the music. The new version of "The Day the World Went Away" on the CD is godly.

Edit: I think the song is called "All that Could Have Been" was really good too, and the last instrumental on the record is superb.

Heresy has never been played live as far as I know, but I've heard every other song on your list live. I'm sure Heresy was played a few times in rehearsals, but probably cut for good reason. I know for a fact that We're In This Together, which has never been played live at a show, was played during rehearsals. Trent said the song just didn't work live, therefor it was cut from the fragility tour.

I really like the still version of TDTWWA, but I'd wish the drumming was more in line with the drums that were in the live version. It needs more of a punch. I'd love for a version that combines the original TDTWWA, the quiet version, and the still version.
