Trent Reznor is Trent Reznor. After 20+ years, he's not going to "surprise" you anymore. There are no more tricks, no more angst, no more aggression and no more attitude that he can convey in 2013 that he couldn't convey in the early 90's. So, it's just a matter of "Do you like the songs?". At this point, two decades in, he's like Tom Petty or Pearl Jam or any number of artists whose careers have spanned decades. Either you connect with the new music or you don't. It's really as simple as that. If you don't, at least you have a lifetime of memories from his earlier music. |

The one thing that Reznor has over Manson is that Trent does some awesome soundtrack work. |

If I had a nickel for every time Trent has used the word, "disappear" in his songs since With Teeth, I'd have like $5. And I could use that $5 right now.

Btw, have listened to it several times over by now. I like it. I'm not crazy about it, but I like it. To me, I like it about as much as I like Year Zero...probably a tiny bit more. It sounds nothing like Year Zero. It sounds nothing like anything he has ever done, IMO. So many people are so quick to compare it to TDS...which baffles me... I have come to the conclusion that the only reason for this is the similarities between the beginnings of "Copy of A" and "Heresy," both songs located towards the beginning of their albums. That is the only connection I see between the two albums. Speaking of "Copy of A," it is hands down, the highlight of the album.
Some of the other songs are growing on me...I have more patience with this one than I was able to compile with Year Zero and definitely The Slip. I would place this album above those two on my personal NIN album ranking. It is DEFINITELY worth checking out. Like I said, it is very, very different than anything I've heard from NIN. My guess is that he may lose some of his more hard-core fans who lust for another TDH, Broken or Fragile, but may gain a few new fans who are open-minded enough to not disregard NIN as nothing, but a "goth" band and take the chance and check it out. I hate to say it, but some of the new fans may consist of these self-righteous, pretentious hipster douchebags. This album seems to have a bit of a Kanye-esque vibe to it at times. It's different. Worth checking out, though. |

I like it too a lot. Probably go ahead and pay for it, it's worth it. Tracks 2, 3, and 4 are the best imo, 4 is my favorite. The music on 4 kind of reminds me of some of the slower creepy Manson stuff.

#'s: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are all solid (love that intro #1 leading into Copy of A). The last 3 or 4 songs kind of seem interchangeable to me, but it may grow on me as well. The more I listen, the more I dig it. |

God I'd love to go to the KC show on the 30th. Haven't seen them since The Downward Spiral tour in Springfield years ago. They wouldn't dream of ever coming here again. Sucks we used to get some really big acts, back in high school through my early 20's I saw NIN, Manson, Tool...now all we get is shit like 311, Godsmack, Five Finger DP, etc.

I think this is my all-time favorite NIN song now. This album is amazing, definitely top 3.
Not a big weed smoker, but...this song on a good system or headphones when you're stoned is wonderful. I'd also recommend this one in such a state: |
