Support from Cold Cave as well. Just checking them out on youtube and they seem pretty cool. Very 80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLfPaC5cNds

Got a standing ticket for the London date this morning. £10 in service fees is insane though.

Loving the look of the Euro setlists. Seeing them in London and I'm reeeeeally excited now. Probably the band I've been in to for the longest, but for some reason this'll be my first time seeing them live.

The With Teeth instrumentals are well worth it too. All The Love In The World is actually much better without the vocals in my opinion, and most of these songs are interesting enough that it doesn't feel like the vocals are missing. It totally changes the feel of the album and it's really interesting. If you dig hearing things you never noticed then it's definitely worth a bash.

I'm one of those weirdos who really likes With Teeth though.

Wait WHAT?

drat I need to get on this...

Yeah he's done a playlist of those in apple music as well! Excited to see what more stuff we get but I don't want to keep the apple subscription because Spotify is much nicer to use in my opinion.

Gonna dig into The Fragile stuff later today I think.

I'm sure there'll be a digital version available once it's released. I'm excited. I think the last 2 EPs are some of his strongest/most inspired work in a while, maybe since Year Zero. If a 6 song album means we're getting more long form songs, I'm definitely keen to hear that.

This does not seem like a good solution to the whole "buying tickets for big shows is a loving nightmare" issue, and I really hope it doesn't catch on.

Sucks that in the UK he seems to only be playing 2 relatively small shows in London and I tried and failed to get tickets for both. Intimate shows are a cool thing for diehard fans if you play the UK a lot, but I'm pretty sure the last time NIN did the UK was 2014, and that was a full run of arenas.

Looks like we're getting a new song tomorrow, already working in Aus. There are downloads floating around but none of them work for me. Seems like the song is only 4:15 long. I'm curious to know the length of the other songs but I would hazard a guess that this will be a short album/long EP, like 30 minutes or so of material.

I love Bowie and NIN but I didn't think I wanted a NIN song that sounds like Bowie. As it turns out, I really like this. I sort of hope it's a bit of an outlier on the rest of the album though.

According to Setlist fm Sin is in the top 10 most played NIN songs (live) but it's also approaching 10 years since it's been in a set. Would love to hear it again. (I've actually never heard it live, didn't see NIN until 2013 or 14 whenever they last did a UK arena tour).

Year Zero was the last thing NIN did that I /really/ liked as a whole project, at least before Add Violence came out. In terms of Post-Fragile, I now love With Teeth and Year Zero fully, everything else has good moments but I don't rate them too highly overall. Add Violence is really great though, first one in a while where I go back to it regularly because I want to listen to it, not because I'm hoping "this time I might like it more".

PHM is great, but obviously the production is dated. That's What I Get is also the whiniest song with the corniest line in the NIN catalog, which is saying a lot.

Shame because the beat is one of my favourites on the album. I'd love an instrumental mix with maybe just the "that's what I get" refrain on the outro. I'm sure that exists already, but anyway.

Play The Goddamned Part into God Break Down The Door is the highlight of the album for me. I've grown to really love the Bowie worship. This one feels more connected to NTAE for me because both NTAE and Bad Witch are kind of weird, where Add Violence is more straight-forward. I'm kind of sad that Over and Out isn't as epic as The Background World. I might try sequencing the tracks of all 3 releases in a long playlist, but I don't think the chronological order of the tracks would actually work particularly well. I think I have the same problem with Bad Witch as I did with NTAE: Because it is on the more experimental end, I feel like it could benefit from being slightly longer. NTAE especially, I feel like it's just getting going, then it stops.

e: Despite complaints about Over and Out it's still a great song and the other LP highlight.

Wasn't mad on God Break Down the Door as a single, but it's a great standout track on the record. The more I listen the more it feels like NTAE and Bad Witch fit together, with Add Violence as the outlier. The colour palette of the album covers only fuels my baseless theory. Add Violence is my favourite of the 3 though. Love those NIN keyboard progressions and The Background World is absolutely mega. I was hoping for more of that on Bad Witch if I'm honest. I like the project we got though.

I really liked Ghosts V. It reminded me a lot of A Warm Place, which is one of my favourite NIN tracks. It does also sound a lot like the soundtrack work though. If they released it under the TR/Atticus name I wouldn't have questioned it.

Fuckin hell Sin back in the setlist (this has been my favourite NIN song forever but as a young, UK based NIN fan I've only seen them post-2009 in the UK so never seen this live. I actually had plans with a friend of mine that we would travel to the US to see a "real" NIN show with all the lights etc. Thanks COVID.
