Guest Gravity Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 It was the type of thing I've always wanted to hear from him, one of my favorite NIN albums. His and Atticus' soundtracks are great too. They're doing Fincher's next film now, too... Gone Girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzkinz Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I found it to be the only thing he did after The Fragile that was any good. Most of it takes too long to go anywhere, and it often sounds like the background music to a slow paced video game But still, I like it. Maybe because I hated With Teeth and beyond so much that in comparison it is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscillik Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The music is ok. definitely better than WITHA_TEETHA and all the other stuff. The deluxe box set has amazing quality, it's the best box set I've seen. completely kicks the shit out of the Warp20 box set for quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergeantk Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 It was one of those things I liked when I was 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colunga Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I nearly shit myself when I heard this was coming out. Once I got it though, it felt like too much. Some tracks felt like they went nowhere. Could have been condensed to one disc. but I still really enjoyed it. I always fantasized about having a fully instrumental NIN album and then got it. haven't listened to it in a few years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yeah, it's kinda boring for the most part, tbh. I find myself wanting to hear vocals on most of the tracks. The piano pieces are quite nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 nin soundscapes are generally best in small doses, or buried behind a bunch of other stuff. The kind of thing you get a brief taste of at the tail end of a nin pop track, that'll make you go "hey trent go back to that! that sounded cool!", but it's left to the imagination. when you get a full album's worth of the misty bits it loses that dynamic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andihow Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 i liked it. i liked with teeth too, and most things that came before it. anything after ghosts i dont think i need in my life. edit: i hated year zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I like With Teeth, in retrospect. I wasn't a big fan of it when it first came out, but when you forget that it came after an amazing concept album it's pretty alright. I have the opposite opinion of Year Zero; I loved it when it first came out but haven't had the desire to listen to it in years. I love the new one though. Some really great tracks! fake edit: oh yeah, The Slip had some nice songs on it as well. nin soundscapes are generally best in small doses, or buried behind a bunch of other stuff.

Cryptowen Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 anything after ghosts i dont think i need in my life. HTDA is pretty dire (except for the first EP's art), most of the post-ghosts albums I haven't listened to enough to form an opinion on, but at least some of the track versions from the recent tour recording are essential nin imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trying to be less rude Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 ghosts is maybe the coolest nin album imo. belew is on a third of the songs. no vocals. released out of nowhere. i like how it was put together quickly, too, sometimes a less polished product is cool.

Guest A/D Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I've bought every NIN release since downward spiral (and most before), but none of the recent stuff has any staying power for me. I listen to it and I'm like "oh that's cool" and then I never feel a need to listen again. Ghosts was the same way. I like the tracks that Brian from the Dresden Dolls was on. Never listen to 'em.

modey Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah I think it would have been better as a 'live in the studio' DVD.. kinda like the bits of video footage of rehearsals from the Still album/Fragile tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sprigg Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 It's my favorite NiN work by far. Though I can do without the guitar-focused tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
