Matt Young

New Nine Inch Nails album

Recommended Posts

I'm looking forward to this but mostly just shocked he got it out passed mixing. Sure he had all the tracks recorded before x-mas, but I was convinced he'd spend the usual 2-3 years mixing it and getting it right. I think he's realised that he's getting old and doesn't want to be doing this forever (well preforming, I'm sure he'll keep producing).

Eh, I'd go on about how NIN isn't really Industrial, and that Reznor is a tool, but I'll skip that.

To be honest, I think he's sort of gotten "out of it" in that "fuck everybody" mindframe. Anytime one of his fans start talking shit he usually asks them what the fuck they're on about. Probably what reflects this is some of the weaker tracks off With Teeth (the collector, love is not enough) where it feels like he's writing songs that he thinks his fans want, but he has no real connection in how he feels and what he's writing.

 

I think this'll be an album that'll probably just come out as opposed to having alot of press and build up. A bit like Amnesiac after Kid-A.

I think NIN's music is amazing but Reznor's lyrics can get pretty lame like he's trying too hard to rhyme every word. The lyrics for "The Perfect Drug" sound like a hair metal song.

Reznor's also supposed to be producing the next Saul Williams album. He's also appearing on a song on El-P's next album.

I listened to the album 2 times yesterday. It is amazing. It might be the best album since Pretty Hate Machine, IMO.

It's definatly back to those old roots. Very synthy/industrial as opposed to a more "metal" angle With Teeth have. It definatly seems this album is more for his fans than the mainstream.
