*starts clapping* I've never really paid much attention to what Saul has done in the past, but that is some genius shit. I'll definitely be checking this out.
Pre-ordered. Should be good. The tracklist, for those who haven't seen it, yet: Black History Month Convict Colony Tr(n)igger Sunday Bloody Sunday Break NiggyTardust DNA WTF! Scared Money Raw Skin of a Drum No One Ever Does Banged and Blown Through Raised to be Lowered The Ritual
Sunday Bloody Sunday? I didn't even see that. If it is a u2 cover, then I can't wait to hear how it turns out.
yeah when I saw that I was like OOH MAN because "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is one of my favorite songs by U2. too bad the announcement wasn't Nine Inch Nails-related though
Uhm. Yes it is NIN related. NIN is Trent Reznor, and only Trent Reznor. Thus, since Trent produced this, it is NIN related. Oh look what I found on Trent's blog. *giggle*
Rachel, you know what Mr. Pancakes meant, I'm almost sure of it. No need to nitpick about the specifics. I'm sure we all wished the announcement was related to Nine Inch Nails the band, and not just something Trent is doing on the side. And, let's all remember that, while Trent is God 99.9% of the time, he does have it in him to fuck shit up royally ("Deep", Tapeworm, letting Marilyn Manson become a household name, Queen remixes, Zack de la Rocha, etc.)
I know what he meant, but it bothers me when its worded as such. Be specific about what you wish it was. North American Tour. Information about the ARG. Saying NIN Related is such a broad subject matter, that you have to be specific, or I'll correct you.
thanks for the tip, next time I'll be sure to state what I'm trying to convey as eloquently and specific as possible edit: eh "Break" is an okay track, you can definitely hear what Trent contributed to it. I wonder if this is an accurate representation of the album (no one track ever is).
The first time I heard it I was like GAH CONTINUITY ERROR, MUSIC MAJOR DISLIKES. but it grew on me, and whenever trent posted the lyrics on ets in poetic form, i was like "oh shit." i woke up jay up at 1 in the morning to send it to him he wasnt as enthusiastic as i hoped
http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2007/10/trent_reznor_and_saul_williams.html 2 things... 1.) Trent was a member of OiNK....SNAP! 2.) The next NIN album is probably going to be like the Radiohead album in terms of releasing it. Awesome.
