Despite us basically having no new musical output, what a busy year it's been for Trent & co. 2016-2017 is going to kick ass.

Isn't Trent's twitter account trent_reznor not treznor?
Honestly at this point if it's quite literally nothing but Tetsuo Theme 2, I'll be content
I respect your opinion but boy it's getting tiresome to see mentions of Theme... in like 33% of your posts .
I will fly to Russia and I will find where you live and I will install speakers on every wall, on every inch of floor, on every inch of roof and into the faucets of your sinks and your showerhead and everywhere and anything you attempt to do in your entire life will become nothing but loud horns and robots exploding in unholy orgasm and you will grow to love it, hush yo mouth
Yes agreed. Everyone loves that so much. I was thinking the other day, if you just want noise, listen to skrillex or Autechre or some shit like that. I like the tetseo theme but i would rather have a "song" with words and guitars and stuff. Not just noise with the ruiner chorus horns interjected. It would be more listenable with lyrics. I just dont really feel TR's fingerprint on that track. Could be a lot of artists. Facepalm away....
Hang on, hang on
so is that pic above real and Trent commented? Because when I go to his instagram I see the original image with "before the flood team" or whatever captioned. Where did he say 2016 is not over yet?
It's in the comments on the original picture.
It's in the comments.
Well I guess it's time to get excited again. There's at least happening something this year.
Considering how late it is in the year, maybe just a single??
I've been on "NIN forms" since the late 90's. Fans have ALWAYS said how much they love NIN instrumentals. So... maybe in response... but probably not... TR puts out a shit tonne of instrumentals and people complain.
I myself have bashed NIN (which I regret and honestly don't know why I did) ... I don't know why we do it. Maybe we are just spoiled brats who will never be happy until we get 'Closer 2' and TR covered in talcum again.
I'm happy that TR is doing more than JUST sitting in NOTHING studios strumming on a guitar.
I do miss the Fragile Era where he kept us more up-to-date on NIN, and I'll go ahead and say it... I want a NIN/MM colab.
I had to scroll through, but I found the '2016 is not over yet' comment.
Adding to all the speculation - how about a remix? The Telepathe one was a while back. *Shrugs*
As for a new record - I wonder if the current political climate has got Trent pumped up to blast some seriously heavy stuff? I love funky/pop style NIN, don't get me wrong, but right now an assault style album would go down a treat I reckon.
Eh. I'd be fine if he never revisits that era ever again. That's honestly Trent's weakest record under the NIN name in my opinion. I think an album of political tension would work fine, but in the context of Year Zero both as an album and a story was just lackluster lyrically and musically to me.
Either way, my opinion aside I'm really excited to see what's in store. I honestly feel we'll get an album sometime in 2017 and then hopefully some tour announcements as well but we'll get a single before year's end.
I've been trying to think of a way to word how massively i could use an assault style album. A combination of The Great Destroyer + My Violent Heart + Broken + I Do Not Want This + the crescendo of The Way Out Is Through. ....... x 16-19 tracks.
*falls into a dream state*
Can we consolidate this with the Random Thoughts thread please?
Yeah, I've revisited everything else more often than YZ since it's release almost 10 years ago. Weird to think it's been that long...I can't get past some of the production and on the nose concept of it. I know some either people on the board share my opinion as well.
My thoughts are with how this new album will sound though, I would hope an album like Bowie's Blackstar would inspire him to take a lot more risks this time around and push his song structures even further. I know he's a huge fan of Oneohthrix Point Never and I think a record that resembles the chaos off his last record Garden of Delete would be a dream come true.
I like the music/production of YZ, but honestly hope he doesn't go down the political path ever again.
Dammit. I was about to make a "Not True" meme about his 2016 tweet
off topic rant{
- Many cars/trucks are now being manufactured without CD players
- iPhones / Androids do not have CD players
- Music Stores are no longer found in Malls
- CD's are clutter
- The idea of using a credit card to order a CD online and wait for it to show up in the mail is not appealing... especially if you're teen/preteen
"the physical singles market" is dead. The sale of CDs is dead.
Spotify/Apple Music/Youtube is it; and torrenting of course.
It would be nice if artists accepted this and started working with Spotify/Apple to create an ever better user experience when listening to an album.

100% agree, but as a fan and collector I would be completely happy to buy a book of art to accompany the digital album. I also don't see a need for the plastic disc with the music on it that I rip and never play again. I do however look at well designed CD booklets and vinyl fairly regularly when listening to an album. That is the one aspect that doesn't translate well on a phone, PC, etc. I still think with such an easy way of releasing music more labels and artists need to get on board releasing concerts officially, demos, etc... I would bet more than the die hard fan would stream a concert they attended at least once.
Hardcoremusic fans still listen to cds/vinyl and like the actual physical product.....Kanye or Drake fans are more than content to listen to their music on an ipod shuffle....personally I cant fathom listening to Pornography by The Cure or In Utero by Nirvana on a fucking ipad
Fuck yes
