Not sure what's weird about it. I'll never understand why some people thought that Grohl and Navarro's parts on Not The Actual Events were from previous recordings, as if Trent couldn't just call them up and ask them to do it. It makes no sense.
It just feels like those collaborations could have led to more. I think the Ian Astbury one is the weirdest. It’s just so short. But also, Trent’s appearance on QOTSA songs has had kind of that same feeling, so maybe it’s normal.
Again, and for the last time, the IICHLIWP Instrumentals are real. Whoever released them had access to the multitracks. These are high quality (MP3s, I believe, but still great) and are the final mix, but without Halsey's vocals added. No AI used to create these... Just the actual Multitracks with full beginings and endings to each track (not segued into each other). Enjoy!
I hold hope out for this. I don't really want new NIN (does NIN still have a voice for a 50 something year old?), but a TR/AR collaborations album would be fire.
