Not that this necessarily guarantees anything, but in a new interview with Variety, TR confirms that they intend to start working on new NIN soon. https://variety.com/2018/music/news/trent-reznor-and-atticus-ross-film-scores-nine-inch-nails-1203012287/ quote:Once we get a significant amount of scoring things out of us right now, we know what the next Nine Inch Nails project is going to be. In six weeks we’re going to have a few weeks off. Maybe we could start on it there, or we may not, but it’s nice to be looking forward to that thing and subconsciously know that it’s coming up and you’re putting things in that bucket…

I mean I read the review but aside from mentioning that they danced awkwardly to a NIN song at a high school dance, the reviewer really sames to just hate NIN in general.quote:Does this sound familiar?: a plodding, Neanderthal beat; a dated guitar; a violin; searing but sanitized fuzz. Then, everything stops so Trent can scream his first line: "I keep slipping away." After throwing in those same blips he's employed since the beginning of time, the song becomes predictably muddled and furious.

To be fair, if you read the review, he explains the low score. It's still probably a bit overly low but he just thought the remixes weren't good, most were a noticeable regression from the sound of the Fragile, three remixes of Starfuckers is inexcusable and the cover of Metal was pretty ok. It's not like The Fragile review which was just utter self indulgent, barely seemed to even listen to the album bullshit. Y'know, it took me years to determine if I hated that one writer because he hated stuff I liked or because he actually was an awful writer. I had a feeling it was the latter because his worshipful Radiohead reviews were already pretty embarrassing despite the fact I like Radiohead, but it took until he ripped apart St Anger did I know he was just a bad writer because even when it was such an easy target, he still sucked.

The REAL Goobusters posted:pitchfork notoriously hated Nine Inch Nails for a very long time I think they originally gave The Fragile a 2.0 or something. I think they went back a few years later and gave it a much more flattering review, but the only excuses I can think of for giving a record like that such an astoundingly low score are genuine hate or a desire to troll.

I love St Anger because I used to be a huge Metallica fan and then the Napster thing happened and St Anger made the decision to stop listening to them way easier

There was a lot of pretentiousness to go around, but one specific writer (the Radiohead guy) really gave Pitchfork their reputation. These days they're no worse than any other music publication, arguably maybe a bit better.

I used to read Pitchfork daily for years. I wouldn't always agree with their scores or anything, but following them gave me some good recommendations for music. I haven't been following them in a long time, though. Maybe since I started following The Needle Drop? I don't always agree with his scores either, though he often reviews stuff I listen to already/would be likely to enjoy and he's turned me on to a bunch of artists that I otherwise might not have known about. Mostly I just like how broad his horizons are. He reviews a bunch of different genres, from pop to metal to punk to hip hop to electronic to weird experimental poo poo no one else is likely to cover. I guess he's now filling that niche that Pitchfork used to occupy for me. Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Oct 30, 2018 |

It was the former. Like think of someone making fun of a Radiohead fan and you have some idea in how over the top his reviews of their albums were. As I said, I like the albums he reviewed....like a lot and I found his reviews embarrassing to read. It's the type of thing where it's hard to be hyperbolic about them because that's just how they were. I did always find it cute that around the With Teeth era all the way to like The Slip it was clear Trent was trying to impress Pitchfork because deep down he really is just that type of music nerd.

I kind of view them as a double album a la The Fragile as they were recorded at the same time. I really do think they're both great albums, but holy poo poo is that review ridiculous. Also, I think the Metal cover is great because he throws in bits of other Numan songs as well so it's more like a Numan homage. The remixes aren't very good on TFA either. The Great Collapse is cool though.

I haven't been home to watch this yet but planning on it when I get home: https://twitter.com/premierguitar/status/1060265449563344897 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntIDyFx2Co0 e: Wow, Robin's really not as...eloquent as Trent, haha. He's a hell of a guitar player, don't get me wrong, but he's not great at talking about his gear and what it means to him. Alessandro, on the other hand, really sounds like he knows his poo poo.

Late to Pitchfork Chat but they gave The Boy With the Arab Strap a 0.6 or something ridiculous, gave In the Aeroplane Over the Sea a 7 and then went back later and "corrected" it, and for around 10+ years straight didn't give a single post rock or stoner psyche album higher than a 7 because they kept handing them to reviewers who didn't even like those genres. And of course there's the cherry on top, the 0 review they gave to Andrew WK where the chief editor himself wrote the review and said things like "this is pure evil"
