There's a new track on Apple Music from Trent and Atticus Ross.
Juno - Single by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross

not really feeling it :( sounds like a modernized but also much less interesting variation on Brian Eno's Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks

So is there actually going to be new NIN this year? Trent was a bit premature with that tweet.

One of the sites I saw this posted on stated Trent and Atticus were working on the followup to Hesitation Marks, but that could just be a filler line.

He did say there would be new NIN in 2016, so it's probably real. Nowadays he seems to spring stuff on his audience rather than the extremely slow burn of the 90s releases.

I wish Trent would've had a follow up to his new NIN tweet. What a tease.

Also, TDS has been my all time favorite album for the last couple of decades. It still sounds great!

The Downward Spiral is one of those rare albums that is pretty much great from the beginning to end. Still never understood why 'Reptile' isn't one of NINs biggest hits. It's my favorite NIN song.....

I love Reptile and its popular among fans but its not really "radio single" material in the same way as something like Closer or Sin

It's a pretty big live staple to this day, even if it didn't get released as a single.

(Supposedly Trent wishes he had released it as a single, but I can't find a source to verify that.)

We're in This Together seems like the biggest song that didn't get played a lot, if this list is correct. Most Ghosts tracks got performed more.

🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

I remember the first track I heard off of the fragile was The Day the World Went Away. I was so amazed at the mix of chaos, beauty, and despair, and was kind of disappointed when I heard the rest of the album, and how it wasn't just all that, in different songs. TDTWWA was like a louder A Warm Place, with lyrics and guitars, and I was expecting the rest of the album to feel similar to that.

BUT, it didn't take long for me to come around and really enjoy almost all of the rest of it. Some tracks I could do without, but most are fantastic.

If I were to make a mixtape of all of those haunting, depressingly eclectic, world ending tracks, it'd include the two aforementioned tracks, Non-entity, Beside You In Time, and Right Where it Belongs.

Anyone else have suggestions for more tracks like that? I kind of stopped paying as much attention to NIN after With Teeth, so I'm probably missing a few more.

I'd do the same as you.
Quite a few tracks from the movie scores. Like the last couple tracks from The Slip. Almost all of Still. The last two tracks from Hesitation marks. There's some in Year Zero, namely the last track.

Ghosts has some awesome stuff and some so so stuff. I honestly like every recording he's ever put out, but The Fragile singles were weak choices. Starfuckers is probably one of my least liked NIN songs ever, and TDTWWA literally has no hook, and WITT is too long and not interesting enough.

I don't think half of it is terrible. There are tracks I care for more, and tracks I care for less but all of it is at least well-made.

I think 'Deep' might be the closest NIN have ever come to making a bad song.

I feel that way about the Fragile but imo musically speaking every part of The Downward Spiral is close to perfect.

the lyrics are a bit cringeworthy in places but it is a NIN album after all

I think because a couple of songs on The Fragile are re-instrumentations of the same song if you are skipping through or have both disks in one folder on shuffle it seems samier than it actually is. Session notes on WITT are ridiculous, even by Trent standards there's so many tracks of audio at once. You can't deny that drum beat though

I actually love that he does this. In film scoring, it's called a 'leitmotif'; when the score is very familiar and repeats itself based on what you're seeing. Kind of, sort of how Darth Vader always has the Imperial March or something similar when he's on screen. The Jaws riff is an excellent example.

The same thing happens in The Downward Spiral. The title track is, as we all know, a much longer version of the out-of-tune piano riff at the end of Closer. I find it really pulls the album together, gives it more of an identity, and I'm totally stealing that sort of idea for whenever I make more music again. :getin:

EDIT: vvv fair enough.

The motifs in TDS are one of my favourite aspects of that album, I understand what he's going for and have devoured every studio interview I can find on The Fragile, but as a listener it doesn't work quite so well for me personally. If he'd done it with
Just Like You Imagined I'd probably feel differently!

the beat is great I just find the chorus really irritating.

Haha that reminds me, did anyone here read The Meathead Perspective when that guy was still updating? Unplayed/unwanted copies of the "Deep" radio single was a common punchline.

I think Deep was technically the second NIN song I had. I bought used copies of The Crow and Tomb Raider soundtracks a bit before my NIN fascination started.
