The ONE and ONLY Nine Inch Nails Thread

[davepeck]

NINE INCH NAILS has set "Year Zero" as the title of its new album, which is due out in April and follows up 2005\'s "With Teeth". "It could be about the end of the world," the band\'s mastermind Trent Reznor wrote on the official NIN fan club web site The Spiral.

In a recent interview with England\'s Kerrang! magazine, Reznor described the upcoming album\'s as "a collage of sound type of thing, not heavy in a metal guitar kind of way." He added, "With this record I feel a lot less concerned about what people think about it — especially the dying record industry. I couldn\'t care less about that right now." Reznor also revealed that the new effort is a concept album and "part of a bigger picture of a number of things I\'m working on. Essentially I wrote the soundtrack to a movie that doesn\'t exist."

Reznor said that most of the album was recorded "in hotel rooms around the world on laptops," with very few musicians beside himself and "maybe some surprise vocalists that pop up here and there."

When asked why the new record took less than two years to arrive when the last one took six, Reznor said, "I\'m probably as surprised as some fans are (laughs). But really it\'s just a matter of discipline. When I was on the last tour, to keep myself busy I was just really hunkered down and was working on music the whole time, so this kept me in a creative mode and when I finished the tour I felt like I wasn\'t tired and wanted to keep at it."

anybody get this yet and check out the "suprise" on it?  My brother just told me about it, I gotta pick it up this weekend.

[Igziabeher]

what, the disc thing?  nah, i dl\'ed it, but its a solid disc regardless.  i can\'t wait til they get back on the road.

[davepeck]

got year zero on release day, but haven\'t listened to it yet.. the disc is cool..

[Stephengencs]

I am not sure what the "suprise" is, but the coolest CD packaging I have ever seen was for a TOOL album where they attach 3D glasses to the cover and have all these 3D images and pictures to look at in the booklet....FUCKING SER!

[Igziabeher]

the surprise thing is when you take it out of the package its black, but when you play it in a cd player it turns white w/ binary code all over it.  guess its heat sensitive or some shit.

[weekapaug19]

thanks for the merge, didnt\' see it first time around.....check this out unless you want the suprise

gonna pick this up next week. Hope the music holds up to with teeth. Love the whole catalog but fragile can be a bit rough to listen to in parts.

NIN=best want-to-ride-as-fast-as-possible bike music

[jocelyn]

Yeah I use that Rage album a lot at the gym.

Also plain ole drum and bass. Like Bad Company type stuff. :lol:

Who would ever guess?

[Igziabeher]

Love the whole catalog but fragile can be a bit rough to listen to in parts.

you ser?  the fragile is my favorite of the newish albums.

[FrankZappa]

1. pretty hate machine :drool:
2. downward spiral
3. broken
4. with teeth
5. rusty nails (best boot ever)
6. the fragile

?. year zero *

*I can\'t place this yet because I have not listened to it enough


also, what are halos 19-23? Anyone have them? Probably just more singles but I\'d like to complete my collection.

[Igziabeher]

Somewhat Damaged = the last great old school style NIN tune.  Whats the name of that one instrumental on the Fragile as well?  whatever it is, it kicks ass in a live setting.  those two songs alone make that album worthwhile for me.

[FrankZappa]

somewhat damaged is def ser. 9/4 is so damn heavy. TOO FUCKED UP TO CARE ANYMORE!!! Totally the old school NIN I grew up on. I don\'t know which instrumental you are thinking of, there are pilgrimage, just like you imagined, the mark has been made, complications, and ripe with decay. Probably complications.

Don\'t get me wrong, there are several great songs on fragile, it just was a let down as a double album, especially after waiting that long with nothing except the perfect drug as new material.

my top fragile songs:
somewhat damaged
the wretched
were in this together
no, you don\'t
La Mer
Into the void :drool:
starfuckers
complications
