there's no evidence yet that he's developing it rather than treading water... we'll have to wait and see

There's no evidence that Trent even wrote this piece (except for the NIN-ish sound).

VigilX posted:

Maybe it's time Trent tried experimenting with orchestras like Radiohead did.

Maybe it's time Trent did whatever the fuck he wants!

Even if Trent ends up not having anything to do with this... it still sounds like it may be pretty damn good. Either way, I'm most excited for this band/project/whatever.

This.

Well you're just gonna have to.

the clip sounds really cool and the artwork is pretty good too cant wait to hear the full product when its released.

And I'm sure if Trent wanted to fart in a microphone for 60 minutes, you'd listen to it and defend it

lol this depends, if its been totally fucked up and distorted in the typical NIN way and put to and epic beat....you never know....

okay, my "95%" wasnt entirely scientific. But I actually quite enjoyed the noodling- when theres a song to accompany it. Think Head Down, the majority of Year Zero, and a couple of Ghosts here and there. So I suppose you're right, and once this EP comes out we'll both probably end up having the same conclusion.

Well I'm with you on Head Down and a "couple of Ghosts here and there," but the majority of Year Zero? That's the album I think of most when I think of noodling... specifically the outros on those songs were built upon lazy noodling. In other words, compare the epic outros of songs like Piggy, All the Pigs All Lined Up, The Art of Self Destruction, Closer, Closer to God, Ruiner, The Becoming, I Do Not Want This, Big Man With a Gun, Eraser, Burn, The Downward Spiral, and Hurt (just off one era there) with the outros of songs like The Beginning of the End, Survivalism, The Good Soldier, Me I'm Not, My Violent Heart, Vessel and God Given.

The former group had either entirely new sections added OR he added a ton of layers one by one building up the song. The latter group basically consists of him looping the same stuff and noodling on a synth for 20-60 seconds. It's just lazy. Half of the other songs on Year Zero didn't even HAVE outros and only one was kind of startling (The Great Destroyer which is technically a lot of noodling, but at least it's not noodling on top of a previously heard section).

I mean honestly, and I know this is a matter of opinion, do you think the outro on ANY song of Year Zero is even close to being as effective as say, the outros on Closer, I Do Not Want This or Eraser? Wouldn't you prefer to hear a third section of those songs rather than hear Trent noodle on top of the first or second?

I'm surprised at some people's responses here. We've heard 40 seconds of a clip and people are complaining that it sounds similar? There's never been an album where two tracks are the same, what's to say this album features a whole mix of electronic, acoustic, orchestral and other works? (remember the photographs of the guitar and the '"ooh" vocals).

To say you won't look forward to this is a bit immature, remember this has yet to be confirmed as Trent and Mariqueen, the music works as the clue. If it was an orchestral piece it probably wouldn't be as easy to spot the signifiers.

Cripes! This gives me a feeling of deja-vu, like I heard this collaboration in an alternate reality and it fucking killed me (in a good way).

Just found out about it and fuck yeah! I was looking foward to them making music together and the 40 second clip sounds fucking awesome - I think I heard a faint sample of Mariqueen's voice so this could be so fucking cool! oh jesus fucking christ I have tears in my eyes because this is so fucking awesome!

It's fanboy time!

They're breaking from their old roots and starting anew.

This isnt the thread for discussing any of that guys - and you know it.

Well tangents are natural part of discussion but... where exactly should Kid and I finish this conversation?

YKWYA posted:

We have a 40 Second clip that sounds pretty cool. For all we know, the new album in its entirety and in context could be incredible. Then you can have a discussion about it.

I'm confused... we can't talk about this until the album comes out?

Obviously everything is speculation at this point, but isn't that part of the fun?

Exactly-we've heard a tiny demo-clip of some interesting noise. Assuming it's Trent- it's a little bit of a stretch to suddenly get pissed about it not being a challenging enough endeavour. Let's just see if we enjoy the other 30mins of the EP before posting reviews of how disappointing it already is. I'm not surprised some people are already putting on a super critic hat. This has happened on the forums with every preview. People get geeky and start showing off their expertise on how a good record should sound. That's why I'm waiting buy all the forthcoming awesome music that these fan-critics have yet to release, because it will clearly be much better.

Sure there is. It was issued by Nasty Little Man. Any of those bands in the client list on the left sound familiar?

And interestingly enough, while one is on the list, the other one isn't...yet.
