Stumbled upon an album/EP cover that reminds me of the original Bleedthrough artwork:
She - Insomnia:
Bleedthrough:
I remember I asked Rob a while back for a print of it, he said the art was still owned by people, I wonder if, when Interscope decide to release Bleedthrough because they're broke, it'll come with a nice big poster.
As much as I know that following The Fragile with a sci-fi concept album probably wouldn't have gone over as well (despite Year Zero killing it in that regard), I do kind of wish Bleedthrough happened instead of With Teeth. I liked the art direction better, and I seem to like the known-to-be-Bleedthrough-era songs best off W_T.
Edit: sheepdean, very interesting. The largest version I've found was on Rob's portfolio site, after chasing down the XML that feeds the Flash frontend.
W_T always looks like an emo kid to me
I wish I could have the best of both worlds - mix that Bleedthrough graphic with the gorgeous turquoises and teals of With Teeth.
Yeah, apparently it's owned by NIN, who at the time were of course "owned" by Interscope, so Trent has some of the rights, Rob probably has some, and there's a person at a desk in a skyscraper who has 1% of the rights and probably doesn't even know what an iPod is. #musicindustry
I'll bet that was his original intention - there's a caged animal reference lurking in Right Where It Belongs. What if he was originally going to write a concept album about his favourite animals, with music built entirely from processed wildlife vocalisations? I can only imagine the pain and angst in the demo version of Love Is Not Enough, in which he sings about how much he'd adore a pet big cat, but can't have one because it'd be too dangerous.
We've all been there, Trent.
(I really need to come off these painkillers)
Ok, we need a new "Cuckoo" action on this board
The Lions Begin to Blur
I heard it was originally planned to end the album with the cover of Several Species of Small Furry Animals...
Every Ray Is Exactly The Same
I thought WT & Bleedthrough were the same thing? They decided on With_Teeth because Bleedthrough didn't sound right or can be misinterpreted.
Correct
I hate the 10 character limit. SO Stupid.
one of my co-workers said he had his girl over and she left the house with his red robe.
red robe.
there was a period of my life where i had forgotten about that picture. fml.
You know, Trent Reznor being at the forefront of a revolution in musical distribution is all sweet and dandy, but then again I kinda miss the olden days when his stuff would just leak at any random day, weeks before the release.
