Hmm, I think he might have for Gone Girl. But I'm now reminded that he did a performance at the Bridge School Concert years back:

I don't really have anything to add other than this poster speaks the truth. Non-Entity deserved full release!
I always wondered about this, if by one knows...with the NBK soundtrack, how much did they leave Trent alone to curate all those different songs into the scenes, and how much was dictated by, say, Oliver Stone knowing which song he pictured playing over a certain scene? Because the soundtrack seemed so grafted to the actual scenes more than most movies that I wonder how his process went for this.
Same. I was looking for 2 tickets to either Boston show. This whole ticket process has been a crock of shit.
Gat damn, $165 for pit with fees lmfao. No wonder the resell ones are trying to get $200+ minimum. Tickets still up here but still wait and hope I can get them under face in November.
Anyway, is it weird I'm a late era Nin fan? Like With Teeth got me into them, and it was only after Year Zero came out that I finally got into their earlier stuff.
I've heard the Fragile top to bottom but I think I need to revisit TDS, Broken, and PHM. Those I only vaguely remember.

Funny, because then you have people like me to got into NIN with Broken/The Downward Spiral and most stuff past With Teeth (and parts of With Teeth), though I actually really enjoy Year Zero

LOL Trent responded to someone bitching why Bad Witch is an LP and not EP.

Want to know why it's being labelled an LP instead of an EP?
EPs show up with singles in Spotify and other streaming services = they get lost easier.
EPs feel less important in today's music-isn't-as-important-as-it-once-was world. Why make it easier to ignore?
We're not charging any more for it so why get worked up about it?
Quantum550: suck my entire cock.

I used to be really cold on NIN. The first time I ever heard Head Like a Hole on the radio, I thought it was basically the Shadow the Hedgehog version of Depeche Mode. I finally started to change my tune after someone showed me We're in This Together, which I actually really liked. After that, I gave The Downward Spiral a fair shot and now it's probably one of my all-time favorite albums. Pretty Hate Machine grew on me pretty quickly, too. On the first two albums, at least, I think Trent is just theatrical enough to make the edgelord factor work in his favor. In fact, I'd say The Downward Spiral is actually kind of brilliant for being a concept album, with every song contributing to its dark narrative. He really brings a creepy, macabre musical sensibility to lyrics that might sound tryhard coming from anyone else. I feel like the lyrical quality kind of suffers after he drops TDS's conceptual angle, though. The Fragile and With Teeth are very strong albums musically, to be sure, but the lyrics get a bit wearying after a while. Still good stuff, though, definitely.
I have to say, though, that out of the NIN albums I've heard (PHM up to With Teeth), The Fragile is...probably my least favorite? I don't know. There are some great songs on it, but the fully instrumental tracks just feel like filler to me. Like, I'm all for making a double album, but I think that if you're going to make an album that long, you should at least commit to making every song count. Say what you will about Smashing Pumpkins, but I think they really got that right with Mellon Collie. I dunno, it's kind of a pet peeve of mine. That said, The Wretched and We're in This Together will always be classics.

Just Like You Imagined, Pilgrimage, and La Mer are essential NIN tracks, I don't think you'll find too many NIN fans who have the same view on the Fragile's instrumentals lol.

I love mixing NIN songs. In fact, NIN is what got me into music production as a hobby. TR's production is top notch and I will forever learn from his work.
Here's a literal mashup of "The Wretched (Version)" and "Me, I'm Not" that I did when "Me, I'm Not" was leaked in the bathroom lol.
I hope y'all like it!

The best, this legit made me lol. Poor Quantum550 getting lit up.
Eh. Maybe I need to give 'em another shot. I guess I just get kind of antsy during instrumental tracks if I feel like they occur frequently across an album. I love A Warm Place, though.
Huh. I guess I admire Mellon Collie for having so much variation across 28 songs. It's really the only album of its length that I've ever felt like listening to beginning to end multiple times. Siamese Dream and Adore probably are tighter albums, tho'.
As someone who read a lot of interviews etc at the time, it seemed Reznor had a lot of freedom putting NBK together but less so when curating Lost Highway - Lynch mandated Rammstein had to be in there, for example.
I don't have much to back this up with apart from <20 year old memories though, so pinch of salt and all that.
Just Like You Imagined is one of my all time favorite tracks. It's unreal.
there are some NIN songs that i looooove, like terrible lie, discipline, the frail, the fragile, lights in the sky, downward spiral, a warm place, mr. self destruct...
but dude, so much of his work is just noise. and i've listened to most of the NIN albums so many times. most of the songs never become listenable or appealing. what do you guys find appealing about his work? what brings you back?

It's amazing, probably my favorite instrumental track of all time, it's one track I can see why they don't care to do live because there just ain't no getting close to it. Would still wet myself if they did it at my show.
I def prefer his melodic but angry songs. Probably why I'm more into his late era stuff. I love me a good electro or rock song with a killer chorus, feels like a whirlwind.
On the flip side I love Trent's production and sometimes the ride of a song I wouldn't normally care for is worth it just to get to a particular musical moment. I probably played The Four of Us Are Dying hundreds of times because I loved the build up to that last sinister riff, same with Black Noise. Or what about that disco break down at the end of All the Love in the World?
Why? Quantum550 went on some weird rant about how he shouldn't be in the music industry because of a meaningless label on the album (as noted, being sold at EP price). I agree with Trent here. These are not the fans that people want, sorry.

Naw. Singling out a fan because his ego is fragile makes him a piece of shit.
Eh, when you talk shit online you never know who might be watching/reading.
Hey, so I've been watching The Vietnam War, and I've been trying to pay attention to the OST. I want to pick it up (the OST) but a few of the tracks are from Ghosts...can anyone tell me if most of the music is from Ghosts i-iv, cause I'd rather not spend the money if that's the case.
I own both and there aren't any Ghosts songs on the Vietnam ost.
Track listing is:
LESS LIKELY
FOUR ENCLOSED WALLS
THE FOREVER RAIN
REMNANTS
OTHER WAYS TO GET TO THE SAME PLACE
TORN POLAROID
BEFORE DAWN
WHAT COMES BACK
JUSTIFIED RESPONSE
COUNTING TICKS
A WORLD AWAY
THE RIGHT THINGS
PASSING THE POINT
STRANGERS IN LOCKSTEP
BEFORE AND AFTER FAITH
THE SAME DREAM
HAUNTED
Yeah but I believe some of the tracks on Vietnam are reworkings of Ghosts / Social Network tracks.
Yea, in the actual documentary there werw a few songs playing that were from Ghost. Anyhow I went and listened to some of the tracks on youtube and those are all new to me. I'll consider a purchase after Bad Witch.
So do we expect that the Amazon pre-sales to have whatever physical element that other pre-orders get? Is there even a confirmed physical element for Bad Witch?
There's no physical component for Bad Witch. Some are speculating that the fans are the physical component with the presale experience a couple weeks ago.
The vinyl version of Bad Witch is significantly cheaper on Amazon than it is on the NIN store and it should come with a download card.
