He put a lot of thought into this project. Call this number: 216 333 1810. Creepy.

There's even some other cool stuff out there that he's done to promote this album. Read this blog:

"What I see is unreal, I've written on my own part, Eat of the apple, so young, I'm crawling back to start"

Yeah, the whole ARG thing has gone crazy. People at the nin boards are going nuts with the game, lol. I haven't gotten into that aspect of it that much, but I admire the whole marketing approach. Something different. He's pretty much stuffed it to the RIAA by leaking a third of the album months before its release date :D. Not to mention that the whole thing's been up for listening since the "unofficial" leak a week or so ago.

"Copacetic, calm my frenetic, she's the shit y'all."

This doesn't have to do with his music obviously, but I just have to mention it...

Dude is buff. lol. Was he like that during With Teeth era? I don't recall.

LOL, hell yeah, he was just as buff on the WT tour.

"Copacetic, calm my frenetic, she's the shit y'all."

I remember his arms looked nice in 'The Hand That Feeds You" vid. This week I realized I was so far behind with NIN events. I thought 2007 was still about "With Teeth" until I heard Survivalism last month. lol And I was shocked to see his hair was gone (it's been gone since last year it seems). I'll try to keep up this year. Have you got the new cd yet? I might buy it. There's some songs on there I like.

Pretty Hate Machine is the best of NIN(Trent)!! Of course, this is just my opinion...Every song on that "tape"(how I first acquired it) is powerful! Especially "Something I Can Never Have"....Play that DVD now at a party, and you'll still get a good reaction/feedback...

When you're strange, people remember your name...

Im enjoying the new disc.  Survivalism is a great tune.  Wait whats with the beat at the beggining of Capitol G? LOL is that Micheal Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" ringing there in the intro?  Capitol G has some really cheesy lyrics.  Though most of his lyrics are still great it seems like that beggining with The Fragile he began authoring some cheese here and there.  Track number 4 has that awesome guitar riff that I wished would continue a bit further than it does.

that's the first thing I thought of. Michael Jackson. lol I've seen a couple other people saying the same thing around the web.

^^^ I laughed when I first heard it. I'm like, it's Michael Jackson! Also, The Beginning of the End has the drum intro like My Sharona. Weird.

What's up with Reznor's wrists (I assume it's him, inside the case)?  All jokes aside, it probably has something to do with the Year Zero theme, but still, that caught my eye.

I like NIN. Love Pretty Hate Machine. Pretty timeless record. Hate the new song, Survivalism. "I got my fist I got my plan I got survival-ISM!" Eek!

The lyrics aren't so bad. It's the music that didn't grab me on the first listen.

Same here. I don't care for the sound. I don't like the way he pronounces survivalism. "Survival-ISM!!" Na, that right there's enough for me.

I love that he tried different things with his voice on this record.

"Copacetic, calm my frenetic, she's the shit y'all."

trent reznor puts on the best concert i have yet to see.....the lights, strobes, fog set the mood for the style of his music perfectly.  The fact that hes mainly a one man show in creating his work also shows the talent he has.  dead souls is my favorite song.
