Am I the only one here wetting himself in anticipation for Trent's next Nine Inch Nails Album? It's supposed to be available April 17th, but a few songs have be deliberately 'leaked' so you can sample them. From what I've heard, this is going to be fantastic. Given, Trent can never 1up The Broken EP, but this is still some really impressive stuff. The viral advertising campaign is great, too.

So far I've heard "Me, I'm not" , "Survivalism" and "My Violent Heart."

Here's the complete tracklisting:

01) hyperpower!
02) the beginning of the end
03) survivalism
04) the good soldier
05) vessel
06) me, i'm not
07) capital g
08) my violent heart
09) the warning
10) god given
11) meet your master
12) the greater good
13) the great destroyer
14) another version of the truth
15) in this twilight
16) zero-sum

Songs in BOLD are available to listen to on the leak page.

Song number 15, 'In this Twilight' has been added to the leak list and is available to listen to now.

Great Success!

:cheers:

On a side note, I'm disappointed at the low concentration of Trent Reznor fans on CS.com. Whassupwitdat?
 
Oh...I am a NIN fan...I just lost interest during the commercialization of Downward Spiral. I think he was more concerned with "shock value" than "musical value" on Downward spiral, and all of the re-makes, and "new releases" since then have been commercialized for sale to the 15 year-old, angst-ridden, "angry-for-no-reason" crowd.

Don't get me wrong...it was targeting the same crowd when I was 16 and listening to Pretty Hate Machine. But it wasn't commercially acceptable in 1990, and it certainly wasn't catered to by producers and production companies, the way it is now.

I don't think there will ever be an album from NIN as good as "Pretty Hate Machine" was, because Trent got too popular too fast...IMO. Record companies have a bad habit of taking good music and turning it into bad commercialism, and, unfortunately, I think they got to Trent as well.

Heck...no one is immune to the corporate grind of music. They got to Jane's Addiction in 1991, and forced them to put out that piece of crap "Ritual de lo Habitual", which led to the creation of Porno for Pyros. They got to Trent and made him put out Downward Spiral, and Further Down the Spiral...neither of which is even remotely comparable to the talent and raw genius of Pretty Hate Machine.

I hate corporate music...These music production companies have a way of making good musicians into puppets...

I'm just gonna bite my tounge here and say that Year Zero is looking to be a fantastic concept album and you should really give it a look.

I may just have to do that...

Please don't take my above post wrong. I wasn't trying to insult anyone, except the corporate music producers. I don't blame fans for being targeted...

I'm not insulted, I just disagree. I've heard almost everything he's made, and I'm a big fan of all of it, from The Broken to Year Zero. I don't think he ever changed his music style to suit what 'corporate music producers' wanted, for two reasons. A) His discography parallels his actual life (ex. The Downward Spiral was produced during a time when he was battling depression and drug addiction) and B) Trent produces his own music (Nothing Records.) Although I'm not positive that he has always done that.

Also, the typical 'teen angst/perpetual anger' that NIN used to be associated with stopped with the With Teeth album. The music has matured a lot in both composition and lyrical content.
 
Psst, try Pink Floyd, much better. :p

Although, I wouldn't know as I don't know any songs by them, only that they are some hard rock 90's band (I think)

NIN is an Industrial 'band' started in 1988. Trent Reznor is the only permanent member of the band, so I don't like calling it one.

I also listen to Floyd. The amount of diversity in my musical taste is probably larger than my vocabulary. I can have iTunes set to shuffle and Mozart plays right after a song by Velvet Acid Christ. :grin01:
