nine inch nails - year zero

[ten fingers ten toes]

Also,

 

Yah it looks pretty but jesus that's some fucked up workflow. You can see how far the Doepfer wall is from the main desk in the first shot. Who the fuck wants to get up and walk 5 feet away everytime they ask themselves "I wonder what this would sound like with some more resonance?".

 

Also, I find it lol that a little bit ago, someone posted a review of Metasonix gear that basically said "all this vacuum tube analog does is make you sound like NIN", and then he's got a goddamn wall of Metasonix vacuum tube fx boxes stacked up there. Way to branch out Trent! lol

that's what the intern is for.

 

p.s. lol @ talent gain knob

[easterlingman]

his strategy is to make an album so terrible that it will raise the overall level of hate among his fanbase, which he can then funnel into the production of an ok album 5 years from now

[Fred McGriff]

i was just thinking to myself, "tear a hole exquisite red / fuck the rest and stab it dead"

 

i mean COME ON

 

p.s. one of the other tracktitles has been released for the new album, it's called "the beginning of the end"

 

DUN-DUN-DUNNNNNNN!

[Guest AlexPallas]

okay mcgriff let lay off the fragile, that was clearly the peak album

[Fred McGriff]

nah, TDS was the peak

 

at least the lyrics were occassionally cryptic

 

"deep below the surface i can still make out your wavy face / if i could just reach you maybe i could leave this place"

 

or sort of not really

[Blir]

I think The Collector has possibly the worst lyrics I've ever heard.

[Fred McGriff]

THERE ARE TIMES PLENTY OF TIMES WHEN I WISH I COULD THROW IT AWAY AND SWALLOW IT WHOLE SWALLOW IT WHOLE SWALLOW IT WHOLE SWALLOW IT WHOLE etc

[Blir]

Actually I reviewed aWitha Teetha on my shitty freewebs website the other day. Check the bottom of the page.

UNDERNEATH IT ALL

WE FEEL SO SMALL

THE HEAVENS FALL

BUT STILL WE CRAWL

 

 

fair dues on rinsing some of the fragile rhymes, can't go wrong with the music though.

something to be said for brevity in this case though. ah that's one of my favorite sounding tracks on the fragile.

[Fred McGriff]

anyhoo, more news:

 

"Spin editors recently had the opportunity to preview a few tracks from the album. "It's a more compact, immediate Trent," said Spin assistant editor Kyle Anderson after the listening session. "It's probably the most minimalist Nine Inch Nails has ever been. Conversely, Trent's getting outside of himself lyrically -- it's a real state-of-the-union message wrapped in a sci-fi concept album about a totalitarian government in the not-too-distant future."

fuuuuuck. i'm totally frightened. is it going to be an anti-bush album? ohhh fuck is he going to step up on a political soapbox? ohhhhhhhh fuck

Have ATR reformed? Hey, maybe they could do that with Trent replacing Carl Crack!

[Guest mushroom]

Oh great, more excuses.

i like to believe that after the downward spiral they were bought out by new company owners

Excellent way of putting it.

 

I pretended to like some of the crap after TDS, but really, I just wanted more of Broken I think.
