sneaksta303 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I don't see how this is any different than NIN+Trent's wife at this point. I didn't think any of them were terrible until the last one. It's so obvious how clueless she is about playing, so at this point, I'm officially turned the fuck off. I wanted it to be good, I really did. I just wonder who's idea it was? Was trent like : pretty wife, synths, viral vids, ?????, Profit? OR was SHE like, "Trenty-Poo, I wanna be a rock star toooooo"?????????????????

sidewinder Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I don't see how this is any different than NIN+Trent's wife at this point. Maybe it's not supposed to be anything other than that? Meh, I won't pass judgment until I can hear some entire songs, or the entire EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I agree, I hope it's different and stands apart. I just don't think we can really say from what we've heard. I can't, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscillik Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 cute. you can see both their rings in the last vid... i believe the guy with the ring playing the synth is Atticus Ross, not Reznor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 i don't want to be negative but this ep has total facepalm all over it. i know its wrong, but to be honest, i dont think i'll like it just because it has his wife on it. to me it seems like its more about them making music because they are a couple rather than because its a good idea. this seems very shallow of me.

colunga Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) I'm leaning towards what you're saying as well jules... I'm very scared of this. But of course, I hope, pray and dream to be pleasantly surprised by the lack of vocals and quality of the songwriting.

Deepex Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Full 7 minute track posted: http://pitchfork.com/news/38686-how-to-destroy-angels-a-drowning/ I think this sounds pretty cool, and I'm not really a fan of NIN. I think it's because Trent doesn't open his fucking mouth this time and leaves it to his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Mariqueen's vocals/lyrics on this debut song are waaay fucking worse than trent at his WORST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hmm yeah I'd rather listen to Trent too. I'm generally not a fan of female vocals. And I hate to say it but especially in electronic music because it tends to sound cheesy versus in rock where it's just more honest/real. Musically sounds alright, but that doesn't do much good if I don't like the vocals now does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A/D Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 it sounds a lot like like year zero with female vocals, which i think is an excellent idea. i shall most likely enjoy this EP. i would be surprised if trent's voice is totally absent, but i'll be content to wait and see!

Guest mafted Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 that should be a sticker on the finished cd: "Trent Reznor's latest project with hunny bunny" , or the sub title. irl lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 She may be singing, but it sounds like Trent wrote the vocal melody. I like it, but it sounds exactly like what you'd expect. He's used that chord progression/melody idea combo sooooo many times over now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jacck Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I think she has a nice voice. I agree with the above comment though: it's quite boring in the light of the most recent NIN material. Sounds very samey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colunga Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Where's the Meathead Perspective when you need it? Wait: and this track reminds me a lot of Zero Sum for some reason. Edited May 4, 2010 by colunga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 yea after listening to this, its pretty much exactly as expected. maybe she whined enough to trent about fever ray being so successful and she wants to be a rock star too. she will have to try harder.

We can pretend it's alright. What's the price I pay? I don't care what they say. I want to. (I'll take my chance tonight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Strike Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I quite liked it! I've not really listened to NIN for years, but I thought that was pretty good. I don't really see the problem apart from easy pisstaking with them doing it, lots of couples jam and make music together Also Pro One and Arp in that last vid, nice!

Guest Greg Reason Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yeah I think it's a lot better than much of what TRs done since The Fragile. Way better than aWitha Teetha and The Slip. Good to hear a little more thought put into sound design and it's nice to not have him singing for a change. That was a really cool thing with the Saul Williams album as well and that still stands up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
