Sintax posted:It's worth noting that the pay-what-you-want In Rainbows was released in 128 or 192 cbr quality (dont remember which) and being the enormous nerd that I am I'm pretty sure I pirated it in a higher quality. Dumb choice on their part really. It was 160kbps, lol Somebody asked them what was up with the bitrate and some rep said that the pay-what-you-want wasn't the "official" album release, it was just marketing for the actual label-backed release in January. So Radiohead convinced everyone to pay them to be marketed to. Fuckers. Saul Williams deserved (and still does deserve) better. If you read up on the dude's career it's pretty sad. He starred in a musical that only lasted 17 shows and now he's working with the guys behind She Wants Revenge, oof.

Trent has been getting progressively lamer over the past few years so this latest move isn't at all surprising. I'd call it disappointing but that would require me to have decent expectations of him anymore. The guy who once considered a temporal internet experience to be not just advertising but legitimately "part of the album," who released albums entirely on his own online, who - let's face it - basically paved the way for how internet 2.0 could handle music both in a artistic and business sense, is now telling people that they have to buy tickets in person, to "turn your loving phone off" when you listen to his music, and that his records are "ten bucks or go gently caress yourself." The $300 collector's edition of Hesitation Marks doesn't even include the album. He's still an absurdly talented musician but I feel no shame in calling the dude out of touch or even a sellout at this point.

I loving adore how NIN’s Twitter account is giddily retweeting pictures of people buying 10-12 tickets as if they actually plan on bringing their entire extended family to the concert and aren’t planning on immediately flipping these online.

That's the particularly maddening thing about this "event," really - NIN as a brand name is big enough and has enough of a cult following that there's no way the presale wasn't gonna sell out anyways. It didn't particularly matter, financially, whether the presale was physical or online, so all Trent really did was just make the purchasing process even more annoying and exclusionary for nobody's benefit whatsoever. Except for the nearby bars that got to make menus of awful puns, I guess. (And not even awful in the fun way. "La Mer French Toast?" What the gently caress?) Dollars to donuts that in the near future somebody on Team NIN will be like "wow we sold every single ticket! This event was a huge success!" I miss the old method where when NIN was done making music they'd just put it right up on their website and start making money immediately instead of making people go through a million hoops to stand in line for hours hoping to hear two tracks a singular time on a designated pair of headphones.

glam rock hamhock posted:It's gonna be really obnoxious when the rest if the tickets go on sale and sell out in a nanosecond and all the people that were really into this dumb idea are gonna be like "see, look how bad that was!" Those people are missing the fact that the same amount of people get tickets anyways, it’s just now you find out whether or not you’re going to get tickets instantly and in your own home where there’s air conditioning and no rain, instead of driving two hours to a specially designated box office in lovely weather where you could be turned away as soon as you show up because the four-hour line is already too long.

Mein Kampf Enthusiast posted:Honestly the actual YZ ARG was not that far off in terms of how elaborate it was. Nah, the songs were in fact right on the flash drives. I remember being a member of ETS during the ARG and there were frantic riots of "JUST USE MEDIAFIRE HOLY gently caress" every time someone posted "guys i think i found the usb drive but idk how internet works" There was a spectrograph image of the Presence at the end of My Violent Heart when it got found, which was moved to the end of The Warning on the actual album. I think the craziest moment of that ARG was when a website went up offering Capital G as a free download, which confused everybody because the album was already out - but that version on the website turned out to be one with an inverted waveform, and stacking it against the audio file for the song from the actual album eliminated all the noise except a creepy voice saying the name of a new website. I wanna say it was... Red Horse Vector?

The best teitan moment was when he put up a torrent of the years-delayed Closure DVD, linked it in ETS, and then on official-rear end nin.com posted something like “Merry Christmas! If you know what I’m talking about: cool. If not, don’t worry about it.” I miss that Trent.

My Twitter Account posted:I think about that a lot. Nowadays it's not uncommon for artists to go five years between albums, but when Trent went five years between TDS and The Fragile (and, in between, did a massive world tour, released a double-video set, produced another band's album, and dropped a non-album single) it seemed like an absolute eternity. Albums were also much bigger of a deal back then, not just something that's put up on a streaming service with the press of a button. I don't mean that in a "you drat kids" way, I'd prefer more people have easier access to music, but back then albums had big marketing campaigns, physical releases with elaborate packaging, and were also a main revenue stream. Now studio music operates more as an advertisement for ticket and merch sales. I'm not sure I agree with albums taking longer than before - didn't Future put out two albums in a week?

If The Slip came out now it’d be a full-priced release with a $150 deluxe edition and a tour you’d pay $100 per ticket to see at an amphitheater.

obeyasia posted:I'll believe this horseshit sounding story when I can hear this alleged sample or TR confirms it. The phrasing is too awkward to be a real thing someone said naturally; I'd believe Al said it after being becoming aware of the band name and song title. Can’t find a source but I do remember reading an interview where Trent said there was no particular significance behind Nine Inch Nails, he just came up with a few names a day and it was the first one he didn’t hate when he woke up the next morning.

Mr E posted:I mostly just want Year Zero remastered on vinyl at this point. I would love new music too but that's all I really need. I'd buy The Slip too but if that doesn't release ever that's fine. Legitimately the most interesting thing NIN could put out at this point for me is more Year Zero lore, possibly in the packaging of some fancy collector’s edition I wonder if they could do the thermal-sensitive trick on a vinyl record, that’s still the coolest thing I’ve ever seen someone do with music packaging.
