Did anyone else catch this at the end?
Did anyone else catch this at the end?
so initially I had only listened to the song twice over the period of 2 days..but then parts of the song were playing in my head in the shower... it's so catchy.... So now I keep listening to it. fuck. it's actually a damn good song.
I haven't had a single NIN song stuck in my head this much since Year Zero. I am so excited by what's going on right now.
yeah i've been thinking about this the past few days, the "Polybius" legend is famous for its "Mind Control / Mind Altering" abilities, could this not fit in to a new ARG?

Just back from my holidays and only managed a few listens so will wait before I make my judgements but it's quite catchy and feels in line with the recent NIN sound.
Some good news is my TF Deviations and NTAE Physical Components arrived while I was away.
heheeh, i guess a few issues with it. I was surprised mine showed up as I thought I would be chasing it still.
Less Than video has over 1,000,000 views now! Yay!
I get the nin chills all over my body from this song every damn time I listen to it.

This song is a grower for me. It didn't mesh into my tastes quite readily. It sounded like it was too much like the things I like, trying too hard to emulate something of that vein, but not quite making it. However, in the last two days, it's been stuck in my head, on repeat, even as I listen to all the other songs.

Hi, anybody speaks English much here? :-)
LESS THAN, less than... what? Is this deliberately open, or does it have some specific meaning?
(I'm trying to understand english lyrics since 1988 - who would forget when Black Celebration appears at home - but sometimes I wonder.)
Btw, at first I had suspicion that this is mastered way too loud (and it is) and it is too straightforward, but the song RULEZ! :-)
It seems deliberately left open. A trick singers do to keep an audience relating to songs. However, I think I've seen it mentioned that TR has impostor syndrome, and think it links a bit to that feeling. At least, I get the sense it's being a little mean-spirited, asking "did it fix what was wrong with you?" like that.
This song is great in so many ways. Has anyone else already mentioned the perhaps obvious reference to Bret Easton Ellis' "Less Than Zero"? Not the superficial adaptation into a movie, but the actual novel.

This video contains some interesting info on the video game Polybius, pertaining to the music video Less Than.

I always thought of the "Are you less than" as similar to The Becoming "killing away all my bad parts" ....
Once again I'll probably be the only one thinking that "Less than" is the worst track of the trilogy
