I remember Llamasoft.
Especially attack of the Mutant Camels.
Also, Showing my age...... Drum base is very similar to the Sisters of Mercy track "Dominion".
The stretching monitor at the end reminds me of Videodrome, which is one of my all time favorite movies so I don't mind
The song is also excellent, I'm very excited for this EP. Love the cover art too!
I am with you.
To me this song even is a bit disappointing.
It's relying on the "catchy NIN song"-formula.
Nice Synthie, and it sounds fresh (or Retro). But actually, all in all, it really is predictable.
I don't want to be the killjoy, but of course personally I liked every single track on NTAE a lot more.
But also every Song on HM. Including "Everything" actually. Both songs are cheesy. But this one is even more generic.
Dig it. Love it. Want some more of it.
Yes I find this song quite immediate but also a grower. Before I could listen to it I was really worried because someone said it was like THTF and Not so Pretty Now, neither of which I really like at all. Weirdly NSPN I find the lyrics quite moving but don't like the music
Love this song...it has a little bit of everything as a few of you said earlier. It's a little PHM meets With Teeth meets HM meets NTAE. My only issue is, I hate when Trent or any of my other favorite bands get too political. Mostly because my politics are often different than their's and it creates an internal conflict for me! Now I don't want to start a whole political discussion, because I know I'm in the minority based on comments I've seen on here in the past and I don't want to start some shit storm about politics. We can all agree to disagree. If you're open-minded enough, opposing views should be able to work together to achieve a common goal. I didn't start listening to NIN because Trent was political, I started listening because his music kicks the ass of every other artist out there. I was a 14 year old kid living in upstate NY when PHM came out and I was blown away! I had never heard anything like NIN before, and still to this day, no one comes close to rivaling him in my eyes. I can appreciate his view point on topics we might disagree on and he destroys it musically, so I have no choice but to rock out to it!

I guess I'm somewhere in between. I like the song but I don't think it's omg best thing he's ever done
Solid! I like it! It is a bit immediate, very "single", but it might just be the kind of release this will be (a more straight forward, rock-ish, produced EP compared to the dirty, distorted, experimental stuff from the last one). It always bugs me how everyone makes comparisons to the WT era stuff in the negative (considering that after all this time, that's still my favorite album, though I am biased since that was the first NEW album that came out after finding the band). I don't feel like it sounds like the WT era stuff, though.
I'd compare it to CBH? But it doesn't really sound like that either? Like, it's definitively NIN, which is really all you can say about it.
Still, it's catchy and fun to listen to. I'm curious what the rest of the EP will sound like.
Edit: Also, Trent and Co. are giant nerds. That is all. ;p

Regarding the video: since I saw '2001: a space odyssey' and the first time I smoked marijuana, I do not see anything so psychedelic.
I fucking love the song and the video. BTW, is that woman in the video Aubrey Plaza?
She looks like Aubrey Plaza.
first listen it i'snt grabbing me like NTAE did. The floating arms in the video remind me of the presence

Sometimes I need to listen to things over and over before I love them. Sometimes I'm in love before the chorus hits. This is one of those times. More, please!
I love it and I expect to love the deeper cuts more.
I almost always do.
Also, this song kind of fits into my theory about there being some type of like microcosm of evolution between these three eps, with the sound changing to kind of reflect different eras.
