Mr. Unlucky posted:he should just make another few ghosts albums every time he opens his mouth its just embarrassing now Were you alive in the 1990s? Younger Trent talked poo poo about pop music and crappy mainstream acts all the time. It has nothing to do with him getting old and everything to do with pop music descending into a period of extreme shittiness again. The last time it was this awful, he made the Starfuckers, Inc. video.

Pop music always has and always will suck. Just because there's good pop music every now and then doesn't hide the poo poo stuff.

magiccarpet posted:Spotify recently pointed me in the direction of 'The Black Queen' which is some dudes from current-ish NIN, Telefon Tel Aviv and DEP. Bringing this back up, as this album was very, very good. I ended up giving the guys $5 at BandCamp because I liked this album (and they were only asking $3.69 for it). If anyone passed on this, give it a try.

I put Year Zero in my car's CD player on the way back from New Year's and it's been in constant rotation ever since. There's going to be a lot of anti-Trump music coming out but it's kind of amazing how on-the-nose Year Zero is.

Maybe we'll get lucky and get YZ2 but I kinda doubt it because Trent has probably lost interest.

I watched OJ: Made in America over the past couple of days (highly, highly recommended, it's amazing) but I was pretty happy with myself for picking out 28 Ghosts IV at one point.

Ghosts was all over NPR when it was released as background music, segues, etc. This American Life in particular really seemed to use it heavily.

So, people are starting to get their NTAE "physical components". Here are a few photo albums I've found via NIN Hotline / Echoing The Sound: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...GJ2QzlzZ3dqYXhR https://imgur.com/a/XAbNB Basically looks like an envelope with postcards, and a lot of black dust. Though I'm hearing there are variations.

Ok yeah I just opened mine and thought it was a gently caress-up because the envelope both inside and out is covered in black dust. From the way it smears and got over loving EVERYTHING ON MY DESK I'm guessing it's printer toner or something like that. The warning label on the envelope really made it seem like a "this music will cause you to think rebellious thoughts, user beware!!!!" type of thing, didn't think it was an actual disclaimer that "ok when you open this black dust is going to explode over everything in a 12" radius." It's kind of retarded, IMO. The cards are pretty cool, but I hope they're waterproof because otherwise the whole thing is going in the trash. e: loving lol Trent just trolled the poo poo out of me and everyone who's been trained to gloss over Terms & Conditions because it totally says "AND THIS IS IMPORTANT... This will make a mess." on the sticker

I'll buy yours off you for $25 shipped.

An unboxing of the physical component: https://www.instagram.com/p/BRG1kcThMfy/?taken-by=jmetalblast Apparently there are some variations. I've seen some photos of colored lyric sheets, while others (like the video here) are just white. Still, kinda fun. You knew you were getting artsy crap anyway

obeyasia posted:I'll buy yours off you for $25 shipped. Haha I checked on eBay and people are actually paying $60+ for these unopened. Not saying your offer is too low, just couldn't believe there's already such demand for them. Once I get them home and clean them off a bit, I'll see if I want to frame them or do something equally artsy, otherwise they're yours if you actually want them. Mind if I ask why you want them? Just a big collector of NIN stuff? Non Serviam posted:An unboxing of the physical component: https://www.instagram.com/p/BRG1kcThMfy/?taken-by=jmetalblast Yeah once the realization that the toner dump was an intentional artsy thing and not a printer error set in I actually started to look at them and they're kinda cool. Will post pics later. Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Mar 1, 2017 |

I don't know if there's actual "demand." Since NIN often release things in short supply, it was obvious some people would just order them to resell them. Some idiot is listing his at USD 180 (he listed his preorder). I'm OK with mine; I mean, it's a set of prints for 12 bucks. It's not a terrible amount for something from a band I love, as useless and pointless as it is. How did you miss that the thing was going to be dusty though? My fingers got black just by touching the envelope, before I even opened it.

Since the envelope is all-black I figured it was just a poor print job on the envelope itself, I didn't expect the inside of the envelope to be full of it as well. e: I really did think the warning on the envelope was some sort of Year Zero "MUSIC IS SUBVERSION" deal, so the real answer is I'm a dummy who didn't read the warning all the way through

BANME.sh posted:it's probably just charcoal, why on god's green earth would they use toner? Whatever it is, it was hard as hell to clean off. Having experienced a black toner cartridge break and having used charcoal pencils in the past, it smears and sticks more like toner. I'm sure eventually someone will have a major freakout about it and Trent will issue an explanation somewhere. Dr Tran posted:Is it just black dust and cards or is there a CD inside? Not gonna open mine No CD, just the cards. One of the ones I got looks like a blown-up negative photograph and it's on clear plastic, but the rest are cardboard.
