The Singing Chav posted:Fragile is the Paul's Boutique of NIN. Barely anybody bought it at the time and now everyone fuckin' loves it. Where is that deluxe reissue anyway? The Fragile is the first album I ever bought - guessing around my birthday and after my older brother had given me his old copy of Broken. Everyone feel old.

The diversity of his output lately has been pretty amazing. Dude has clearly shaken off whatever haunted his earlier career and he's infinitely better for it.

Call Me Charlie posted:It's on a hard drive somewhere with the Wave Goodbye footage. I completely sympathize with this aspect of Trent. He's lazy/would always rather be doing something new than finishing a project he started. It's annoying as a fan but I've done this poo poo time and time again so I can't even get pissed.

The Fragile is the first album I ever bought, so I'll pay this man whatever he wants to hear it whatever ancient-rear end format he wants me to have to. I'll buy it on the off-chance it never gets a proper digital release, I suppose. It's not like a limited run NIN vinyl loses value anyway. drat you, Trent. Also early prediction is this EP is an auditory response to the Trump victory/lead in to Year Zero part 2. Good Soldier Svejk fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Dec 17, 2016 |

AFewBricksShy posted:I picked up the ep and the deviations vinyl. It will at least look awesome on my wall, I'll frame it and hang it in my basement. Ooh, stealing this idea actually. I wonder if the art work is re-worked/unused stuff from David Carson. The typography on the new EP certainly fits his style so I guess it isn't impossible that Trent pulled him back in. Also interesting to note that it's very specifically "Deviations 1". Wonder if there's more already in the pipeline.

Year Zero would totally work as a stageplay especially if they incorporated multimedia from the early 2000s Bush-era paranoia and we're probably just far enough removed from that for a look back to be hailed as a visionary experience but also The Downward Spiral is begging to be some avant-garde Lynchian experience He could also just do a semi-autobiagraphical retrospective that'd basically be a broadway best of really play it up as some new wave wash out who turns to industrial, spirals into a horrible drug addiction, gets clean and is afraid they can't create anymore then culminate with the Mariqueen analogue and the hollywood breakthrough There are options there even if he doesn't want to start from scratch just imagine Kinda I want To as a soulful stripped down duet

Regardless of the music though, I hope we can all agree the glitch aesthetic loving owns. The pixel tendrils and digital video distortion are rad. Though my favorite design era overall is definitely the David Carson fragile era stuff.

Discipline is a banger even if it's a little... strange lyrically. 1,000,000, Echoplex, and Letting You, and Head Down definitely all feel like YZ castoffs but that's not to say bad. It's all kinda worth it for the last third starting with Lights in the Sky fading into Corona Radiata. Also wikipedia claims it was original planned as an EP which makes sense why it feels fleshed out with some old castoff material but none of it is bad, it just... is very disparate stylistically. It feels like the Nails equivalent of a G-sides album or Tom Waits' orphans albums.

sticklefifer posted:Anthony Vincent of Ten Second Songs did a decent WITT cover. Pretty good, hews a bit too close to the original for what I tend to like from covers but he's got the verses down perfectly. This really does speak to Trent's range though with the screaming bits because this guy seems to be on the verge of topping out compared to how full Trent gets his high notes in the song. I've never really thought of Reznor as a particularly amazing singer but maybe I've been selling him short

It was in some like, small thread there were only three regular posters in as well which makes it even funnier because he must have spent a good amount of time just reading random stuff. It's like how TDS took so long to record because he kept playing Doom. That's not even a competition. Freese is light-years more versatile

A Nine Inch Nailz (e.g. Gorillaz-esque) collab album would be awesome but does Trent like enough people to make something like that these days? And if he wants to collaborate, why not collaborate with his wife and give us HTDA2

I don't think Trent is apolitical - more explicitly he is anti-political. He seems to want people to generally have better lives but Year Zero and HTDA are realizing the world isn't going to change and something is going to destroy us, be it the war or the climate or whatever. I think he's just trying to get along in the meantime. I figure he's somewhere between libertarian and entirely disenchanted left-leaning. And definitely anti-religious. Can't blame him for that growing up in small-town Pennsylvania, I know that game. And yeah, The Downward Spiral itself is a concept album about an alienation and self-destruction and self-loathing born from the same sort of rockstar ennui that birthed The Wall when Roger Waters had an "I'm a monster" meltdown. Actually that would make for a super interesting comparison for folks doing media analysis...

I hedged on disenchanted leftist but yeah that spells it outhatelull posted:I want to say there were some interviews around the time of The Fragile where Trent himself referenced that album has his spin on The Wall. In typical pissy boommer fashion, he actually had an encounter with Waters and the takeaway was that of course Roger thought it was hot garbage. I could be totally mis-remembering Mandela Effecting that action though. https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/roger-waters-interviews/november-2000-revolver-magazine.html e: That's a drat good read - a lot more personal than I thought Trent would have been in interviews at the time, and Waters is as aloof as ever. It's kinda funny that "The Fragile" and "Amused to Death" are both two of my favorite albums and considered underappreciated gems by their makers and exiled from setlists because they didn't move units Add "1.Outside" to the mix for that matter. If someone ever asks me what was it like growing up in the 90s I will just tell them to listen to those 3 albums in release order.
