Bowie didn't really have a patent on crooning.

Maybe, just maybe, it's more of a Wayne's World 2 situation, and, in Rip Taylor's opinion, Trent is less of a rock singer, and more of a crooner working in the rock milieu.

There's a video for God Break Down The Door too (which I put in the OP but I'll put here too), although it's not really a music video, just a visual elaboration on Bad Witch's album art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeJ_DzRJUI4 Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 19:34 on May 17, 2018 |

The album shows up in Apple Music, while only the 1 song is streamable. Song lengths:

You guys are only disappointed because of the publicist stating it was an album. Trent himself said it was part 3 of the EP trio in a very recent interview, so for all intents and purposes it's an EP.

Sounds like Trent just changed his mind on what he thinks constitutes an album versus an EP. The distinction is really up to the artist in most cases. I mean, Broken is an EP, but I don't know anybody that doesn't consider it an album.

In the interview from like an hour ago he says it started as an EP but then became an LP That's definitely a tad disappointing about the song lengths, but at least it's still longer than I had expected until like a week ago. I do have to wonder if it's just The Background World stuff or actually longer songs. Not that I don't like The Background World, but y'know.

Here's the exact quote from Trent about this:quote:There was the third EP which has grown into an LP (Bad Witch). It was coming to one final look at that question from rejecting what EP No. two says, and it wasn’t an easy answer… The entire system has a much more bleak and pessimistic outlook and I want to say too much because it gives away kind of the what the thing is. But it wasn’t necessarily what we thought it was going to be when we started. I thought it was going to go more science fiction. I don’t really want to overwhelm you with cleverness and deep diving and part of that felt like an arms race and it also felt like a cop out.

I honestly have no idea what the gently caress he's talking about. I find it strange that there is supposed to be some great narrative that ties these EPs together when She's Gone Away was written for a TV show. There are a lot of strange threads between all of this though, and it'll be interesting to see how the 3rd one connects all the dots.

It's also far from the only "album" to clock in just over 30 minutes. Definitely weird that he was so insistent on it being NOT AN EP when the difference is so slight, but he's been weird in general lately, lol

If he's convinced this is an album, does that mean EP 3 of 3 is still in the works? Holy poo poo, we've been so blessed to get so much NIN material the last few years, and it's all been great too.

Since these EPs are being released on 12" records, it would have been nice for them to be pressed at 45 rpm, split onto both sides.

All we have to do is pour enough black dust through the machine indicated by Add Violence to decode the secret message etched into the vinyl of Bad Witch to solve the mystery. Everyone kept their black dust right???

^^ I have that KoL vinyl, and it came with a big newspaper. Too bad that album is not very good. I hate to doubt Trent, but does anybody think that the physical components and the EPs are actually going to come together like Voltron and turn into something bigger?

I dunno but if the YZ ARG was any indication, the plastic word tabs that came with Add Violence can be broken open to retrieve microSD cards within, but they are password protected with a series of numbers corresponding to the gas chromatography readings from the black dust e: Bad Witch will contain coded clues leading to the website of a small, soon-to-be-broke chemical analysis lab that will flourish in the wake of thousands of NIN fans sending samples of black dust for analysis...it's name? THE NULL CORPORATION  e2: I literally just opened my AV poo poo and played around with the plastic tabs goddamnit trent if it's going to be an ARG just say it Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 22:32 on May 17, 2018 |

Getting more of an Eartling Bowie vibe from this, with the exception of the Blackstar saxes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JbXGqFHpRg The vocals are doing nothing for me though...

Most of NIN's stuff from the past decade+ made me feels "meh" during the first listening, but grows on me the more I listen to it. GBDTD is pretty much the same. Though I also seem to generally prefer other songs on the album over the singles Trent releases anyway.

I started rewatching their Panorama set from last year earlier and now I'm watching the rest of it. It's so loving good. I really hope at least one of their festival appearances gets live streamed this year! I've gotten so stoked for those in years past. It's a whole event for me. I'll order food, turn my lights off, turn my stereo way up, turn the stream on really early to make sure I'm on time, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JujihaeDpQ0

I didn't mind the latest track at all, aside from the drum loop. I feel like Trent and Atticus are far, far better than that, but whatever works for them, I guess. It's not like they don't have the tools and creativity to have done something else and just settled, this is what they wanted, obviously. Speaking of, what are your favourite beats from NIN or at least Trent-related work? I'd have to say Eraser, the breakdown from The Perfect Drug, and HTDA's A Drowning are my top 3. Honourable mentions to March of the Pigs and Somewhat Damaged.

The Big Come Down, Underneath It All, The Becoming, Reptile, Vessel, Me I'm Not and In Two are probably my favourite beats. I like the hard industrial beats best I guess. Also some of the Ghosts beats but I'm not going to dig back through them to remember which ones now.

Terrible Lie, Wish, Gave Up, March of the Pigs, Reptile, We're In This Together, The Collector, The Hand That Feeds, Getting Smaller, Hyperpower!, 1,000,000, Discipline, Satellite and The Idea of You come to mind. Some of those are cemented in my brain from seeing them performed live so many times, others are just songs I find myself tapping out on my steering wheel or my desk or whatever every time I listen to them. And obviously The Perfect Drug

Arena Rock isn't really a good look for NIN, but The Collector is the freaking best at it. That drum groove is killer and the chorus shreds hard.

Besides what has been mentioned the drums at the end of Piggy are loving savage as gently caress. Also on the opposite end of the spectrum the cheesy synth beats of Sanctified are amazing.
