Yea I agree, it's up there with Hurt. The piano reminds me of that song London Bridge is Falling down . I can see why people are waiting till the release but I couldn't resist . Side note: I just heard a sample from Mike Shinodas solo album, . [/b][/quote] sorry to stray off topic for a second but where did you hear the preview of the MS album?
Same with me. With Teeth is awesome. Another one of my favorites is Beside You In Time and All The Love In The World.
Same with me. With Teeth is awesome. Another one of my favorites is Beside You In Time and All The Love In The World. [/b][/quote] Yeah, "All The Love In The World" is great. My favorites at the moment, in no order are: "All The Love In The World", "Everyday Is Exactly The Same", "Sunspots" & "Right Where It Belongs". It's a great album. I feel sorry for Casey, i know how hard it is to avoid downloading an album of a band you're such a big fan of. Especially when you know everyone else is listening to it.
Never quite reaches an obvious peak my ass. It reaches a fuckin' peak. Right Where It Belongs is awesome. I love the effects in the last part of the song.
sorry to stray off topic for a second but where did you hear the preview of the MS album? [/b][/quote] www.fortminor.com It's just a tiny sample, but I'm pretty sure there will be a guy on that going ''YO IT'S THE RISING TIED'' over and over and over like the In The End remix. Anyway, back on topic: All The Love In The World is very good. I also really like The Collector.
A bit late... since half of the people on the forum now have it. Every album worth leaking leaks... and the same with albums NOT worth it as well. :chemist:
I won't lie, I downloaded it. I've never been a huge fan of NIN, so I'll listen, and if this new album is worth it to me, I'll be buying it.
The Garage Band thing Trent is doing on the official site is cool. I'm gonna bring a copy of it to school on monday to fuck around with during lunch.

Writing this as I listen to each track... Justin's [With_Teeth] Review 1. All The Love In The World - 5:14 Start off with a simple bassline and an IDM style synth beat. Those are soon followed by an organ and a beautiful piano melody. Obvious rhymes at the end of the verses cleverly left out. Chorus features a hypnotic piano melody over "Why do you get all the love in the world?". Low volume, distorted guitar and synth sounds pile on until the whole song completely switches up. A four-on-the-floor beat drops with toms over it. An upbeat piano and tambourine play as many Trents harmonize "Why do get all the love in the world?" with agonizing beauty. A guitar kicks in and the groove will have you clapping. Has almost a gospel church feel to it. Great opener. A+ 2. You Know What You Are? - 3:41 Starts off with fast drumming like that of Wish. A synths (mistaken for guitars) make up the verse. The chorus slams in with walls of distortion and a backing piano melody. The bridge thumps with drums and synths while Trent sings "Remember where you came from. Remember what you are." The last chorus truly destroys you. Distortion fills your ears as he screams "Don't you fucking know what you are? Go on get back to where you belong!" The song ends with a melancholy piano and synth melody that sounds like The Wretched + The Perfect Drug. In the best kind of way. Sure to be a classic NIN song. A+ 3. The Collector - 3:07 Off-kilter live drumming and a distorted bass back Trent during the verses. Seems to be a song about his fans and how they expect him to be a certain person. Most fans know about the loads of poetry he gets. "But they stop to make me think, things I don't want to know." A simple guitar pumps through a distorted synth ladden chorus. Mike Garson-style piano appears in the bridge. Good song but feels "short" and kind of empty. B- 4. The Hand That Feeds - 3:31 The single. Won't review it because you should have heard it already. I give it a... B 5. Love Is Not Enough - 3:41 Very full live and sequenced drumming fills your ears as a distorted bass rumbles. Synths and guitars share the chorus under "But underneath we're not so tough. Love is not enough." The wah guitar is a nice touch and a new thing for NIN. The triumphant cry of "LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH!" at the end is not present. 6. Every Day Is Exactly The Same - 4:54 One of THE best NIN songs ever. A sad sounding synth-piano melody plays as noises build up around it. More live drumming is found in the verses. Filtered, distorted guitar backs up the bass melody. Very powerful, almost head-noddingly hypnotic sing-along chorus. Powerful lyrics like "I can feel their eyes are watching, in case I lose myself again. Sometimes I think I'm happy here. Sometimes, yeah, I still pretend." Some of the best on the album. Piano, drums, a tambourine and spoken word dominate the bridge. Trent shows off his vocal range. More vocal layering at the end with the chorus. Gorgeous vocal harmonies. A++ 7. With Teeth - 5:37 Industrial noises start in as (more) distorted bass, live drums pound. Shearing guitar in the left ear. Very smooth vocal delivery. Lone lyrics in chorus are "A-with-uh Teeth-uh". Lots of guitar layering that breaks in a soft piano and acoustic bass with Trent singing "I cannot go through this again." The AWESOME wah guitar from the live shows is.... nonexistant. It's actually a stuttery, effected synth that floats around. From the bridge it breaks into a storm of distortion. Some melodic, some there just for effect. Good song but the emotional power just doesn't seem to be there. B 8. Only - 4:22 Catchiest song on the album. (Live?) Disco beat grooves with a piano, a synth and disorted acoustic guitars. Groovy bassline. Great spoken word lyrics delivered amazingly well. Written lyrics do not do them justice. "Sometimes I can cut and see right through myself." Riffs and synths come and go frequently throughout the song. Not as disco-like as people potray but will make you want to pelvic thrust the air. The song is about the demons Trent has made up to hurt himself and how their "Is no fucking you, only me". It's all in his head. Down In It lyric reference pops up. Never stops being catchty. Single for sure. Best new experimentation. A+ 9. Getting Smaller - 3:35 Not punkish but pretty close. Fast with a little bounce. Guitars rev up then stop to give way to a catchy guitar melody. Grohl is all over this one. Chorus includes "I just behave and obey. I'm afraid I am start to fade away." More tambourine. He loves that thing. Distortion packed chorus changes to an electric guitar bridge. "My world is geting smaller every day, hey hey hey hey, but that's okay" ends the song. You can see kids jumping and having fun to this one. Simple track. Probably the most skippable track on the CD. B 10. Sunspots - 4:02 Probably the song I was most unsure about from the title. Bass, atmospherics, two Trents (normal voice and quiet falsetto) are on the verse. Probably about his addiction. Easy to march (or strut) to as the claps come in on the falsetto chorus. "Peel off our skin we're going to burn what we were to the ground. Darkest track. Fuck in the fire and we'll spread all the ashes around." Whining synth appears for the last half of the song. Straightfoward track B 11. The Line Begins To Blur - 3:44 Hard drumming and a very distorted bass pound in your ears as a very live sounding Trent yells the verses. Not much of a melody until the bass drops in sound and the guitar melody pops up over Trent singing "As far as I have gone. I knew what side I'm on. But now I'm not so sure. The line begins to blur." Heavily distorted guitar screams in the bridge as Trent "aahh" wails similar to The Day The World Went Away's ending. Track most likely to blow your speakers the fuck up. B+ 12. Beside You In Time - 5:24 The track from the teaser. The one people want to hear. Starts off with a steady pulsing beat and sustaining pulsing synth. Filtered guitar plays in the left speaker. Trent softly sings "Places parralel I know it's you. Feel the little pieces bleeding through." "On and on" plus a plucked harp (or guitar) is repeated and repeated until your tranced. No ummph in the song (yet) as the chorus appears. Song builds up to 2:54 as the beat stops and the numerous synths drone one long note. The beat jumps back and creates that pulsing, staggering effect that fades in and out. At 3:42 the track breaks loose into the trailer music. Glorious. Many, many layers. Trent croons "Oooh, we will never die. Oooh, beside you in time." Euphoric layering of everything. The melody changes slightly as the song suddenly quiets back the staggering synth-beat combo and fades into the last track. You will repeat this song. A++ 13. Right Where It Belongs - 5:04 Mod Synth, piano and atmospheric /crowd noises are the only instruments in this song. Trent sings "Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?" All instruments are filtered through some type of low pass filter and Trent's voice is isolated mostly to the right speaker. Chrous features "If you look at your reflection, is that all you want to be? What if you could look right through the cracks? Whould you find yourself afraid to see?" Second verse comes in and as Trent sings "Are you hiding in the trees?" the filter opens up, clearing up every instrument as a crowd sample appears as if Trent has entered an arena. Shining, phased piano melody exits the song. Beautiful, simple, powerful. Not quite as emotionally wrenching as Hurt the best album and show closer Trent will have. [With_Teeth] Overall: A- Extra Tracks Home - 3:02 Simple bass, plucked guitar, Synth wah accompany each other. Very dry sounding drums. Think the bridge of "I'm Looking Forward...". I used to know who I was before you came along. Lyrics include "I return to the only place I only felt that I've belonged." Detuned piano appears in the background later in the track. Not a very interesting track besides the drumming. Kind of feels cut off in length. Would not have fit onto With Teeth at all. Seems like a song from Still without the emotional power. C+ The Hand That Feeds [Skeletal Dub Mix] - 5:20 Looped guitar and four-on-the-floor beat with "You're keeping in step" repeated over it about four times. The bridge synth solo enters early and is also looped for a bit. Track made mostly of layering the different guitar parts from different parts of the song. Pounds a little harder than the original. It's a dub remix so not many lyrics. Chorus pops in with the guitar looped to one note. Good track to just put on while you're doing something. Won't offer anything drastically different from the album version. Might bore you if you try to sit and actively listen to it. C
Can you tell me what it is and stuff? I don't have a Mac or GarbageBand so I'm not sure what it's all about.

[/b][/quote] Basically it's a giant package of samples from The Hand That Feeds to remix with. I'm taking it to Music Theory Tuesday to mess around with it. I'm not a Mac person at home. Trent's stupid bias....
http://www.iodine.org/archives/2005/04/tha...hanks_trent.php There's one. And a bunch more http://sonicedge.net/thtf/
SOURCE: http://www.theninhotline.net Is this song really as good as everyone is telling me it is? Is it single worthy? I've only heard the 30 second teaser of the song.
