I just listened to "Survivalism" off the new stuff and I'm not trying to be a dick but it sound the same as any other NIN I've heard. maybe i'm missing something I dunno
Im afraid I do agree with that. Nine_Inch_Nails-Survivalism-(Promo_CDS)-2007-SAW
I was very disappointed with this track. I guess they selected it because they thought the mainstream public would accept it better. It's not really a step forward...
Check this site out.
http://symphonyofnoise.com/nails/yearzero/ It's a compilation of tracks Trent has "leaked" to the fans who have been following the secret pages and stuff.
#6 is amazing and very unique. It really gets into gear at about 40% completion. I also liked #8 a lot.
Perhaps you aren't a true fan of this genre. It's definatly an acquired taste. It has also cooled off in popularity recently. It's not "new" or "shocking" anymore. I get the distinct feeling Trent would rather pack up and retire for good before he let his work stagnate or stop evolving. It's not about money anymore. It's about the message. Why do you think he's giving it away...
<-- worth watching (from original post)
Maynard and Trent are two of the most important artists of our time.
