"In two" just moved up to my favorite over "all time low". I am still in awe of how great this album is.

[Amaro]

i might be hearing things, but does anyone else hear something that resembles speech at about 4:59 in "disappointed"? it's some sound that's full panned to the right channel. the sound always jumps out at me because it's fully panned, and it has the rhythm of speech (maybe 7 syllables?), although if it is speech, it's muffled/lowpass filtered. it might just be a sound "illusion" . .

Yes. I'd heard it before, probably my favorite part of the song. haha

Sounds like speech to me.

Got my vinyl and standard yest. Got the deluxe on friday. Great job getting it all out either before, or on the release date. For me at least. I was worried it wouldnt come by the 3rd. My vinyl is not damaged at all, like some of you guys. Guess i got lucky.

[mr9inchnail]

I have yet to receive my vinyl from nin.com

Same ... It's just my luck that the version I was excited for the most is the last to arrive. =(

[dbrekke]

Wait... WHAT DEMOS?!?

[seasonsinthesky]

Wait... WHAT DEMOS?!?

from Trent Reznor In Conversation With..., formerly thought to only be on the iTunes release.

FWIW, here's my review of the new album: http://ourvinyl.com/nine-inch-nails-...-album-review/

SOB! I have purchased 4 versions of HM, and now I'm tempted to buy the HDTracks version just for the conversation/demos in lossless. God Money, I'll do anything for you.

In 'Black Noise', starting about 1:20-1:21, does anyone else hear a faint scream or would it just be considered part of the distortion/noise going on.

I hear some screaming.

I noticed that yesterday. Definitely a scream, I think.

Finally listened to the album a couple nights ago, it was great, I liked it and I read people here saying that the last three tracks of this album (including Black Noise) is the best finale in a NIN record but I beg to differ, the holy trinity is still The Line Begins to Blur into Beside You In Time into Right Where It Belongs. No doubt about it. Listening to it right now...I don't know, I highly associate the sound of Beside You In Time with With_Teeth's artwork, the sound of the synths in there resemble the decaying glitchy lines of the cover...so awesome (but I'm biased, I think With_Teeth has the best NIN artwork).

[Ryan Tollefson]

After listening to the audiophile version, I am noticing a speaker pop, very noticeable in some songs, (find my way in particular). Not happening with the standard. Did something go wrong with my burn? I burnt the 700 or so mb flac files on a cd with toast. I like what I hear from this version but the poping sound is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Any idea why I'm hearing this?

[Trains]

Got my DE on Monday, I somehow managed to hold off from hearing the record until release day. It took a couple of listens to really sink in, but wow...what an album. Really, this is some of the best music I've heard in a long, long time; not to mention it being an outstanding NIN record -- I haven't had this much of a NIN vibe since perhaps at least 2007.

I still haven't properly absorbed HM yet, I'm going to try not to over-listen to it too much. But fuck, it was so worth the five year wait. It's so heavy, both sonically, lyrically and emotionally. The quiet section during 'In Two' (right before the build up at the end) literally stole my breath away.

Exciting time to be a NIN fan. I hope this album attracts a lot of new ones (I get the sense it already has).

I put the audiophile wavs onto my phone,and listening with headphones noticed some popping as well. Wasn't digging it :/

I'm not the only one that has "COST CENTER #: LOSERKIDS" on my Deluxe Edition packaging am I?

I had loserkids on my shipping box if that's what you're saying.

I thought it was funny and was surprised to not see it mentioned on here.

Didn't see that on my deluxe edition packaging.

I'm pretty sure my red hesitation marks preorder shirt had loserkids on the packaging too now that I think about it lol

[Amaro]

Halo 28b LOSERKIDS

[gorast]

That's most likely Tom DeLonge's influence, since he created Modlife.

[Ray1971]

yes I had loserkids on mine that I got yesterday.

[Winter Is Coming]

Still no sign of my DE or my vinyl and since I'm in Canada eh there is no tracking info available through NIN.com. I got the shipping notice on Thurs or Friday and after reading this thread I figured it could be either minutes or days away.

But I'm also about 10 minutes away from my first listen to the audiophile master with some good headphones so I guess there's that.

[miss k bee]

I finally get Everything, the intro is still annoying though. I finding the album as a whole very satisfying.

Congrats to GuateMOE-la, you're cooler than us/US.

Day late thanks to Amazon.

[MrSlfDstruct]

Regarding HDTracks, I'm not familiar with how they work. Where do they source their content from?
