Brain Pickings
Hey, I am the author of Brain Pickings and just joined this forum so I could ask for some help and clarification – not really one to enjoy a "royal fuck up," so I'd like to honor NIN and their fans by making the appropriate corrections. Although the article is about album cover design and not about NIN specifically, I do believe design is only as good as the story it tells and now I'm curious myself about the NIN story -- so feel free to reply here, post in the comments on Brain Pickings, or write to me directly at brainpicker [at] brainpickings.org.
Thanks and sorry if I offended you guys, it was just ignorance, not disrespect -- although I'm obviously not an avid NIN fan myself, I have tremendous respect of the band's incredible innovation as I've followed it over the years.
Brainpicker,
I went back to your site and saw that it was edited, so I guess you found your answers before I was able to respond. You were confusing another album,
Year Zero, with
The Slip and some moments you referenced were out of sequence. Your site looks okay now.
Despite all this, I think it's cool of you to mention appreciation for the album art as I know Trent Reznor, Rob Sheridan, and everyone who puts a hand it in do a kick ass job and pay attention to every detail.
You don't have to apologize to me as I was not offended or disrespected in anyway. I just thought it was really funny that you were praising the efforts of another album which also had amazing album art.
