[Crisp_Rapper]

[Crisp_Rapper]

Is the Nine Inch Nails album out?

[Crisp_Rapper]

Is the Nine Inch Nails album out?

officially? no... you can pick it up though through the medium of the internets (as long as you promise to buy it afterwards). i've had it on repeat pretty much all day long and i really like it a lot, i picked up all the leaked tracks along the way and these fit nicely into the entire thing.

[Dogg Thang]

Ah okay. Is the feel similar to the last or is he doing anything different this time round?

[Crisp_Rapper]

it's a concept album, backstory is basically there's some crazy drug being introduced into the US water supply as a means to control the people. the government says it's for enhanced protection against biological weapons and people start kicking off about it. thing is, the drug has side effects and people start seeing things and going crazy...

there's a frankly disturbing mp3 of a girl phoning up her friend in distress as some crazy guy with orange tears and blood dripping out of his skin started hacking people up in the club. he was eventually overpowered and killed by the club goers but as the call ends some military guys stomp into the building and start wiping people out.

it's basically an entire backstory which goes into some detail and has links all over the ****ing place. think ilovebees.com but with a twisted web of hints and stuff, it's pretty sweet.

details and mp3 backstory etc here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_(album)

the album tells the story (of sorts) and feels similar to some past works, there's some accessible stuff and some really difficult tracks. as a whole though i'm loving it.

[Dogg Thang]

Thanks for the description (and link). It sounds really interesting. I'm looking forward to it.

Aphex Twin - 26 Mixes for Cash.

Good stuff, love the philip glass / bowie mix.

If you want to legally try before you buy with NIN Year Zero the whole album is up streaming here:

http://yearzero.nin.com/

Personally, I'm only so-so liking it at the mo. It's awfully samey. Some good tracks though - Good Soldier, God Given, Great Destroyer (on top of those already leaked).

[Ady]

Today I've been listening to:

Broken Social Scene :You Forgot it in People - It's got that summery flavour...

Common : Resurrection - Amazing album with some great wordplay.

M.I.A : Arular - Damn she's hot... music's great too!

no love for vessel?!

*edit: actually if you're listening to it being streamed then it's no wonder you don't dig some of the tracks, this needs to be heard in full quality to appreciate some of the songs. the great destroyer though, oh boy... what a ****ing track.

[anephric]

Yeah, that's wicked - when it goes full-on mental near the end is speaker-destroying. The "ohmigods" on Vessel remind me of that ****e Guns'n'Roses track (on the End of Days Soundtrack and allegedly Chinese Democracy) which is a sub-NIN piece of crap in and of itself. Trent's affected vocals on Capital G really wind me up too. I push da button and electa him to office and da, he push da button and drop da bomb.
