I just got mine in the mail today. There's a bubble envelope around a clear plastic envelope. In that there's a paper envelope with a warning sticker over the flap, so you pretty much have to see the warning before you even open it. Here's the text, underlined stuff is in red.quote:To be read IN ITS ENTIRETY before opening. Actions have I've not yet opened it yet, since I'm working. But I'm sure there's an Imgur album somewhere that shows what's in it. EDIT: Here's one. http://imgur.com/gallery/WCkDO IUG fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Mar 3, 2017 |

I just opened my NTAE envelope. I'm pretty okay with Trent trolling the absolute poo poo out of me.

I can go with that theory. Year Zero has aged better than I expected when I first listened to it.

It's kind of darkly funny to go back and listen to all the bands that thought Bush II merited dystopia concept albums.

The really funny part was watching all of those people blissfully go back to sleep for 8 years during Obama's administration, which continued most of Bush's policies. (that and I was live at the first show where Trent played The Hand That Feeds with an image of Bush morphing into McCain. now bush is dancing with ellen and mccain's here to save us from the russians. lol) Call Me Charlie fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Mar 12, 2017 |

I kind of dismissed the With_Teeth era singles and remixes because I was way more into the post-Fragile and Year Zero material in the 00s, but I recently started going back through some old B-sides, and drat the El-P remix of Only is loving great.

After giving the new EP some time, I still don't think it's that good. Probably my least favorite NIN release.

david_a posted:I completely forgot that it existed. The last track is worth it for the novelty but I agree, it's not very good or memorable. It did cause me to listen to Hesitation Marks again which is better than I remembered (and much better than the EP), but it has the same problem that there's not a lot of stuff that sticks with you.

I like HM's music, but that's about it. Trent's never been an amazing lyricist, but HM's lyrics are particularly egregious, and lazier than they've ever been. "What rhymes with 'hey'? OK, day, way, say..." "What rhymes with 'done'? Fun, one, begun..." It's the Dr. Seuss of NIN albums.

In terms of lyrical quality I can't tell the difference between anything from the past 12 years. And before that it wasn't so much the lyrics themselves but their arrangement that was better

TRez lyrics have been bad from the beginning. It's just that sometimes they aren't as bad.

I like the live version of Closer because you would be amazed how many people never realized there's a whispered verse during the bridge, and it's much more pronounced live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd5TBCu9hgM&t=155s

Entropic posted:Maybe I'm biased having listened to that album a million times on headphones as a teen, but how do you not hear that on the album version? Honestly? I got into NIN really late (With Teeth/YZ era) and had heard Closer so many times on the radio or MTV or whatever when I wasn't that into them that I never really paid attention to it. I knew there was something being said but I never heard it clearly, so it almost seemed like a new part of the song on the live version.

I've always respected how NIN was 99.9% Trent for the longest time, but I really love the sound that comes out of a live band. That live recording breathes awesome new life into already great songs and it loving rules. It doesn't hurt that the light show on that tour was absolutely insane. loving Justin Meldal-Johnsen, his bass tone is so sick that whole lineup for this tour was stacked as gently caress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNXHR_Pe5JI e: also the entire concert is free in HD, it's an absolute must-watch: http://toiou.org/downloads/

I also like the line-up with Ilian Rubin as the drummer, like this version of Last (one of my favourite NIN jams anyway) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL7iGw5nm1k e: this is also loving amazing, can't believe that tour is 8 years old already https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02tL7YymAmc
