She's Gone Away sounds like something straight off The Fragile. I really didn't think that Trent had this kinda thing in him any more but this is really great, I wish it was a whole album.

Wow, this loving went off. I think Dear World, and The Idea of You are my favorites. Definitely was happy to wake up to this in my inbox.

Is it different from your expectations, is it just not your thing, or do you think it's just... not good? \/\/\/\/ Oh yeah, I'm not trying to argue about it or invalidate your opinion or anything. I've only listened to the one track linked in here and dug it, just wondering.

Haha, I was really stoked to download the Deviations tracks today, especially because my holiday travel schedule changed and I had an extra day to do it. Well-played, Rezzo. I'm not planning on getting the new EP until January when I can better afford the vinyl (assuming the "physical component" is sold out by then) but "Burning Bright" is way interesting, definitely didn't expect anything like that. I was assuming more Trent & Atticus playing on their laptop. This is probably the biggest stylistic shift NIN has done since Year Zero.

Not being able to understand TRez vocals is a good thing in my book. I've always liked his voice, but every album has more than a few moments with lyrics so bad it actively distracts from any good that may be surrounding them.

I approve of the buried vocal mix. I like his voice tonally but I'd rather not here his lyrics. Production is gnarly. Good poo poo.Sir Lemming posted:Don't worry, it's Not The Actual Events Touche. Though if he was, and this is what he makes because of it, I'm in

It should be at the top of the "Radio" tab in both the iOS music app and the iTunes desktop app's "Music" section. Should be similar through the Apple Music Android app, but I don't have one of those devices so I can't check. sleepwalkers fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Dec 22, 2016 |

i know this seems crazy but it is entirely possible for a dude to write a song referencing a "she" or "her" that is not his wife or even, necessarily, an actual person at all. the song could just as easily be about heroin or something.

The NIN wiki (actually linked from NIN.com so I figure it might as well count as an official source) is listing four variant covers total: http://www.nin.wiki/Not_The_Actual_Events#Artwork I assume the main white one is the vinyl. Not sure what the others are, unless each digital file format gets its own version or something.

So are people far less lazy than me trying to find if there's any hidden steganography in the artwork or music?

Hesitation Marks was Halo 28 and without anyone holding a physical copy of the new EP it's pretty safe to assume it will have a Halo number too.

Does he still actually put halo numbers on the packaging, or is it just fans keeping track now? Come to think of it, the most recent NIN release I own a physical copy of is probably [AWITHA_TEETHA].

I like the buried vocals, more bands should be doing that IMO. For example, listen to anything Metallica's put out in the last decade. I don't need to hear every nuance, breath, and inflection of James Hetfield's singing voice twice as loud as the rest of the music. It sounds unnatural. Not that the vocal mix has ever sounded unnatural on a NIN album, really -- it just happens to be something I'm a fan of.

Entropic posted:[AWITHA_TEETHA]. This cracks me up every time it comes up. New EP is dope, pretty surprised he described it as "impenetrable" because its not too far from his usual sound, the single is probably the most obscure of the bunch. Dear World is very Hesitation Marks sounding imo and Shes Gone Away sounded pretty similar to other NIN to me (awesome song too).
