No love for BBB?
The synths are brutal in that one...
I consider it a sequel to (NIN's) "Pilgrimage"

I'm really surprised "Speaking In Tongues" wasn't carried over to Welcome Oblivion. It's such a great, moody track.

'Welcome Oblivion' has grown on me over time. Such a densely layered record.
I think 'How Long' is the triumphant song that 'We're In This Together' could have been.
And, for shits & giggles, I dreamt last night I was in LA at an rock club where nin were opening with 'The Fragile.' Likely been spending too much time on this site and eBay looking for that damn 'flower' tee shirt...
Yeah, Reznor said that they worked on WITT alot, too make it sound 'less triumphant.' He sang the chorus until his voice was raw and tattered. And they covered the chorus in a bunch of noise and distortion.
I like "Welcome to Oblivion" so much better than "Hesitation Marks"
I took it to mean one of us as in the band. but who knows. maybe laz or Sisyphus or whatever their second kid is called.
I think it's a composite of all four of the band as one being.
I just read the lyrics to "Speaking In Tongues" for the first time... some interesting NIN lyric parallels -
I am made of magic and wires
And I am everything at the end of it all
I am moving from the mouths of liars
And I am everything and nothing at all
I am speaking order from within
I am aberration by design
Still right here as I have always been
I am nature, perfect by design
Feeding on the apple in the sea
You have done exactly as you're told
Filling us with everything we need
Turning common metal into gold
And all my arms will stretch across the sky - All Time Low
And you will see the glory of it all
Watching from a million different eyes
You will see the glory of it all
Speaking in tongues, this has begun, I am the end of it all
We have become zeroes and one, I am the end of it all - Zero-Sum
This is the place, this is the time I am the end of it all
Speaking in tongues, this has begun, I am the end of it all
the first line also references The Becoming, kinda
You do get that like, there's a finite number of words and phrases in the English language? You could do the same thing to compare HTDA to the Monkees
Do you guys remember when tons of people thought Sigil 2 meant something other than Trent's silly obsession with cataloguing systems, just because it (apparently, at the time) didn't start at 1?
Good times.
Does anyone have a HQ rip of the audio from the four teaser trailers for HTDA?
Anyone happen to know what the font used for "Welcome Oblivion" is? I've been looking for ages.
Was listening to An omen ep_ earlier and noticed the lyrics "all my arms will stretch across the sky" on Speaking In Tongues, and my mind instantly went to All Time Low. Thought it was kinda interesting.
Does anyone have instrumentals of the various HTDA songs we have multitracks for?
giving this a spin today and all i can think abt is that rob sheridan really killed it (in a good way) with the welcome oblivion packaging! great stuff. i wonder if they will cont with this look in the future?
