so your favorite self loathing rock act is back with a new album (apparently called "hesitation marks") due september, after half a decade since the last one ("the slip").

here's the new single:



as expected, the lyrics are embarassingly bad. which was the case with the album ("welcome oblivion") reznor released under the "how to destroy angels" moniker (him, his wife, this dude he won an oscar with and his art director) earlier this year. here's their single:



what does the think?

I like NIN. A lot.

Don't like this.

word.
I liked the first Angels album a good bit, second one was boring as shit
Still can't believe NIN are co-headlining Made In America with Beyonce

note how the new artwork is done by the same guy who did "the downward spiral". they're also using the same font.





i hope, he's not on some knee-jerk "looking back at my career" kinda shit.

this week has made it glaringly obvious that black sabbath, megadeth and nine inch nails need to call it a day and stop shitting on their pasts

You beat me to it... It's straight. Nothing new really but it's not bad. Reminds me of something off The Slip just a lil less minimal. A tad bit...

I just heard it. I dig.

how to destroy angel album is piece of shit.....

this is better

David Lynch directing the new video for CBH...

Trentlefly?

a few new songs in there...

im pretty bummed that i wasnt interested in getting tickets to see them live, and the decent seats are now sold out.
they are sounding better live now than they have in years. the (short) break did them a world of good.

i saw them live in 1994 and it was fantastic. then they werent so fantastic.
but now they are on again and dammit, i wanna go!

i like the reworked version of "sanctified"

seeing them in the Netherlands on Friday. Pretty cysed.

here's the new single, "Copy Of A":

better than the came back haunted imo

album leaked and its pretty good i must say

Agreed. I like it much better than the last few albums.

like this track a lot

So what do you guys make of the album's themes and lyrics? They always border on bugging me for mostly being 6th grader poetry...

Someone—or, more likely, several people—at the Associated Press made an embarrassing mistake this weekend when writing up Nine Inch Nails’ headlining set at Philadelphia’s Made In America festival. The uncredited writer of the review notes that “NIN closed the night with a slow and smoky cover of Johnny Cash’s ‘Hurt,’ which earned nonstop cheers from the crowd,”

Saddingly, that's a pretty common misconception. I just corrected my buddy about it the other day.

paying attention to lyrics is so 20 years ago

Saw them two weeks ago at Lowlands, worked my way front and center out of 50,000 people, pretty sick.

lol at associated press bit.

Digging the album after the first few listens with "Satellite" being my favorite track so far
