NIN at its best since Post Fragile, coming from a guy who liked every nin album, says a lot.

>>70129325
I think he is copying himself and it sounds bad. Trent should move on, like he did from album to album. People complained about Hesitation Marks, but to me it was a sign of going forward and doing something new.

oi

>>70129325
Well i think it sounds good, but i'm not completely sold on it yet. Also this is the kind of album that you have to listen on some good amplifiers...my system is a little bit fucked at the moment so i can't really appreciate it fully

>>70129352
I don't think this is the case, I can't compare NTAE to anything he has done before, I can hear some samilliar stuff, but only pieces, overall the sound sounds pretty new, I can hear very small ammount of The Fragile in Burning Bright.

I see it as a combination of the past parts of The Fragile and Hesitation Marks with some thing brand new if that makes sense.


I liked Hesitation Marks too. I can't tell you if I like HM or the new EP more right now. Needs some time to sink in.

OP here.
NIN fans, what's your favorite song of all his work?
Mine is "Eraser".

Without good headphones you probably miss out on a lot,

I always had very sensetive noise problem, probably another symptom of autism. I feel like I can hear a lot of sounds even without headphones. I can't have any sort of headphones on my ears for too long, my ears just start to hurt, I am really scared of damaging my hearing and since I am so sensetive to any sort of noise I don't know how much of headphones I can really take. I always listen to new tracks on headphones first and then I just can't do it anymore.

>>70129396
>NIN fans, what's your favorite song of all his work?

A tie between And All That Could Have Been, Reptile, While I'm Still Here, In This Twillight and The Great Below

>HTDA
I didn't get into it much, yet. I didn't get to hear entire albums, only singles like a pleb, but I think I really like it.

>>70128862
>chose a pop album
>calls other people normies

>>70129441
It's electronic and electronic rock.

>>70129452
the whole album has a pop music structure just like most of his works, plus unlike most of his works it has the simplest pop beats ever

Don't know much about Trent, but "Hurt" is better sung by Johnny Cash.

>>70129452
it's just edgy electropop

>>70129508
I wouldn't say, Cash's version is very monotone and he took out a lot of complex instrumental sounds from original, it is much more accesible, but the original's instrumentals convey the feeling of dread and self hatred very well. I don't really like how people throw out the original and see it as "just sad boy singing about being sad"

>>70129497
Still better than Marilyn Manson.

>>70129515
How is Hesitation Marks even edgy, apart from the implications of its name it's the least edgy NIN release since Ghosts.
>>70129531
Marilyn Manson became pure thrash

>>70129531
not better than Antichrist Superstar

>>70129533

>>70129437

>>70129549
It's still not as edgy as everything else that came before it. Only two f-bombs too. There ain't Big Man With A Gun or Heresy.

It's intentionally happy only for the two choruses to show that nothing is actually all that all right and that the situation is still pretty bad and that the dread never realy left and still lurks within. It's the poppiest and also the most intense track on Hesitation Marks. It's false optimism.

>>70128735

I remember reading a review of Hesitation Marks where the reviewer got the lyrics to Everything wrong and heard "I will never bend or break" and thought the chorus was positive too.

Everyone goes on about how TDS is horrifyingly dark and depressing. Hesitiation Marks is by far a more grim album, but because it sounds upbeat it must be an upbeat album.

Dissappointed? Copy of a? While I'm Still Here?... At one point, Trent Reznor, who wrote fucking HERESY is literally begging God for help.

>>70129877
THIS

100% true.

It's really depressing.

File: Jabba the Robert Smith and reznor 1996.jpg (18KB, 257x320px) Image search: [Google]

18KB, 257x320px

That time Reznor met Jabba the Robert Smith in 1996

>"Every city in America has at least one Gothic club. In New Orleans, it's the Blue Crystal. When a band like the Cure is in town, the Blue Crystal throws a party after the show. The club called Reznor, the closest thing they have to a local dignitary, to invite him to the Cure after-show party. Further conversation revealed that the only way the Cure would show is if Reznor is there, too. You can't hear it anywhere in Nine Inch Nails, but Reznor is a Cure fan from way back. He considers the Cure's The Head On The Door" one of the best records ever." His favorite description of himself: "Robert Smith with a head cold."

>"I end up going to the club, and surprisingly, everyone from the Cure is there. And the bartender calls me over and says, 'Robert really wants to talk to you.'" Reznor smiles, makes a face that says: You mean I have to meet one of my teen idols in a goth club in Louisiana? Now? In front of all these people?

>"It ends up," Reznor says, "me and him, hugging on the dance floor. He's like, 'I love you, dude,' and I'm like, 'I love you too, man.'" The Cure fans formed a loose circle around the pair while New Order's "Blue Monday" pumped out of the speakers. "It was the greatest scene," Reznor says. "We were both fairly incoherent," he feels compelled to add.

>>70129877
It's a sequel to The Downward Spiral, even the artwork hints at this. The protagonist survived his suicide attempt only to be haunted by it and puzzled by who he is at this point after the events of TDS. He comes back to drugs in All Time Low and voice comes back. Disappointed is a response to those who thought he changed and moved away from that.

Everything is him trying to fight the voice with false optiminism only for that illusion to fall apart.

As for the line "I am home" at the end, listen to "Home" from With Teeth to realize what "Home" is to Trent Reznor, it is his depression.

Running is the protagonist just trying to run away from his problems, failing. "I had a friend who I think knew me, coldn't seem to make him stay" may reference Hurt.

While I'm Still here sounds like a suicide note, Black Noise is death, now, is it me or does Branches/Bones kinda start out like Black Noise? I swear to god you can hear Black Noise at the beginning. Specifically the first 7 seconds, that weather like noise. Possible?

>>70130006
Great analysis, makes me appreciate Trent even more.

>>70130006
nin has the deepest lore

>>70130006

There was an interview with Reznor talking about the release of Hesitation Marks. He said he got nostalgic for the guy who wrote The Downward Spiral for a while, and then got horrified he was idealizing who he was in 1993-4, and then started writing the album as a response or something.

>>70130037
Few more stuff I noticed

The Eater Of Dreams is very samiliar to the line from Mr. Self Destruct "I am the end of all your dreams"

Find My Way references "I Do Not Want This"

"I want to know everything
I want to be everywhere
I want to fuck everyone in the world
I want to do something that matters"

" I have been to every place
I have been to everywhere
I'm just trying to find my way
Oh dear Lord hear my prayer"

The artwork, obviously referencing TDS, going so far to use the same font.

All Time Low references 10 Miles High's different/alternative title "Everything is not OK" by literally using it as lyrics for All Time Low.

>>70130076
I think it's funny that that incident happened in Camden, NJ.

It's literally called Hesitation Marks, the name comes from the term "hesitation wounds" a term used when an invidiual is testing out a blade and leaves out marks on his body before he commits suicide.

>>70130173
Also tha big red line on the various covers is obviously the hesitation wound.

Same way there is a gunshot with blood going down from it on TDS cover (Protagonist kills himself by a gun to his head) and a waterfall on The Fragile. (His important some one commits suicide by drowning in water in La Mer)

>>70130109
They're bullshitting so much. Look how vague it's everything that they say ("I'm such a fan", "he is a genius", "he is so inspiring", "revolutionary band", "created a sound too"). Some even seem to have only heard 3 songs or something. Corey Taylor says "whole album" like Broken is an LP.

I think they are too much focused on their on stuff to care about some random celebrity musician.

>>70130109
They also make jokes so they don't have anything real to say.

>>70130273
>own

>>70130109
I like the fact that Trent would never bullshit about some one like they do here, few years ago he'd be raging out on Twitter, which didn't do him so good, so now he doesn't say much, probably because he doesn't have much of nice things to say.

>>70130198

I'll always have admiration for Trent.

Good to see he's swole, has a hot wife and is doing well for himself these days.

I absolutely love how Trent can make the most edgiest hate filled music there is all while he is capable of creating touching and moving songs all in one album.

>>70136492
The perfect example of this is Big Man With A Gun being followed up by A Warm Place.

Song about rape, violence and insanity being cut off by the calmest and quietest song on the album.

>>70136492
"Mr. Self Destruct" is hate filled and meaningful at the same time lyrics wise. The addictive prone self inside every people is talking to the conscious self and telling that it's going to destroy the conscious self. The sound also captures this concept very well while using industrial effects that makes it even more unique. It might sound like just noise, but once you pay attention, there is a very enjoyable pattern to listen to.

The lyrics could be viewed as silly and edgy, but it's so universal and human that I can't see it that way.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce3xOgg9mtk

Also, the album "With Teeth" has a sound less noisy and easier to digest, but still retaining the meaningfulness of the lyrics and some different sound effects. The song "Right Where It Belongs" refers to philosophical idealism (everything can be reduced to the mind or mental substance).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jAyfGzSaz0

bum.

I love Downward Spiral and its in my top 10 for the 90s, but I sometimes wonder if he ever listens to it or looks back at it and whether he cringes at the angst he emulated back then.

>>70138442
>emulated
I don't think so. Trent does probably cringe a lot at himself, he still seems pretty insecure, he even admits to being insecure in his most recent interview for NTAE, and he's right, he's insecure as fuck. He didn't even sing "Everything "live because he was so scared by the backlash and felt sad when he saw parody videos, which I understand, it must suck to see people not get what you are trying to say.

>>70138442
Maybe, but I honestly don't think he should if he does. I mean, he was being honest back when he wrote it

>>70129965

>>70138442
It seems that Chester Bennington cringes at itself all the time by your logic. Trent's music was quite mature back then. If he does cringe, I don't understand. Addiction and depression is part of life, the part that we have to fight daily, it's not just teenage edgyness.
