Excuse me, but it seems to me that people should feel guilty about abusing them!

Well, I guess people should feel guilty about abusing ANYONE. And I actually felt abused by Trent when he made the "unattractive, plump women" comment and put a fat, sloppy, Courtney-esque woman in the "Starfuckers" video. But what appears to be confusing, "anti-fat" behavior on his part is something I really don't want to re-hash. I guess we all hurt each other in various ways online all the time. But I really don't want to see this new video as an attempt to "guilt people out." I think there is something childish about that mentality, if that's what they're trying to do. Like I keep saying, I haven't even watched the video smiling smiley

He wasn't talking about you so don't take it personally. I'm overweight and TR has been nothing but nice to me (in person and online).

I don't know what you are trying to do but quit making yourself the victim in every thread. All of your posts are passive/aggressive negativity. All you do is point out something negative followed with a smilie face.

Just stay on topic, which is the video. You've made it perfectly clear you haven't watched it so why use this thread to post you emotional rantings? Watch it, then come back and say something...because everything else you say is so off topic and disrespectful.

Nice, I didn't know that, but if you search for the band in wiki only Rob Sheridan is credited as art director :/

My mistake indeed...

I’m wondering why he chose the title of his other band “How To Destroy Angeles” is it maybe he knows how too and he is very good at it. But he doesn’t realize what he has done to those angels, the hurt, the pain, the craziness. He doesn’t know what the Angeles are going through. Every day trying so fucken hard to forget the pain and the hurt but it just does not go away, you pray and pray for it to stop. You’re trying so hard to analyze this but nothing makes sense, you just want to die. But you fight it and fight it until you do something that you regret. You just want so bad to stop this craziness in my head. Please GOD help me! I need help. I just want to crawl up in a ball and die.

Go see a psychologist. Christ almighty... what did he do to you?

And BTW: I love both the song and the music video. My fiance asked me for the link after I showed him- so he must like it as well.

Keep on trucking, Trent, Q, and Atticus! Just remember-

Quoting my girlfriend, who said this in a faux-philosophical deep mocking tone:

"It's like...we're all dead on the inside...but singing on the outside...man."

this song is growing on me, more then drowning. looking forward to the EP. i'm most excited about the teaser sound in the video clip "01" in vimeo......

Another reason why everyone should have an Atticus, indeed. Beautiful music video, disturbing and beautiful. Can't wait to see more!

 

05/18/10 9:55 AM

I love all the mystery about it... so many unanswered questions. Love it! Also love the 'Record Label: None By Choice' on the Myspace page... HDA has a real rebellious feel to it. Cool.

 

05/18/10 10:28 AM

Awsome! Love the music, and video. Happy Bday Trent.

He won't care if your plump if you have nice boobs....trust me.

And back on topic, the first singe and the first video came pretty close together. Think we could be seeing something new again soon?

Can I ask a question? Do any of you actually look at what you are typing into the reply box and think? Or are you actually completely oblivious to the fact that a) what you are saying is completley irrelevant b) belongs somewhere else or c) is going to provoke a reaction that derails the thread?

Does it really matter if you add something relevant?

Oh, and to add somethign relevant...hmm...mariqueen's boobs were nice in the video?

...seriously, IT'S A FORUM, not serious business, sir...or maam, I'm not sure which. As long as it generally stays on topic, what's the harm?

 

05/18/10 11:31 AM

Wow trent looks so young and amazing!!! I am so glad to see him come back!!! Love you Trent!!!

 

05/18/10 11:37 AM

My thinking is that we'll see a follow up video/song that will show the events that led up to this tragic scene.

If this has been said before, i apologize

Yes. It does matter. Now, if you want to have a debate about it, I will be in the Moderation thread. Looking forward to you telling me all about how this place will be so much better when Threads have no title, people post what they want where they want, and ultimately us power hungry mods who take this WAY to SERIOUSLY have been lynched.

See you there.

I've given it some thought, and I'm still unsure.

I like the vocal sound, and I like the way the tone of the voice during the verse seems quite aggressive even though it is a calmer sound, and when the tone shifts in the chorus, although there is more strength behind the delivery, this feels far more fragile, it's weird, I'm used to it being the other way round, especially with Trent related projects. This - I like, but I am struggling with this vocal over this music, it just isn't doing it for me right now, maybe it will one day, but for now I'm afraid I'm not enjoying this experience.

The video, I like the parts that are in motion and I like the pyrotechnics, the close cropping I do not like, its like bad story boarding. I feel like I am beyond that nowadays, and I know it hasn't been made for me, but I think despite this being a new project, the experience of the people involved is perhaps beyond that too. It's a bit undergraduate, I want post grad and I want it done well, this is in there in moments, the wider shots are incredibly beautiful, but at times it feels like being spoon fed a plot, and because of this gains no value with further viewings. I don't know what I mean when I am saying this next part, but it just feels dated before it's even begun, and that is what | am afraid of with this band, it's not fresh enough, yes it's a new "band" and intriguing but is that enough, for me at this time, the answer is no, I'm sorry. I think great things will come though, given time and faith.

Umm..can't find that thread, and the search page is not being kind to me today...but aren't you putting a bunch of words in my mouth? I mean, I did say as long as it generally stays on topic. I did not suggest anarchy sir/ma'am...dude. I just ask for A) non-asshole mods (you're OK...i'm seriously not saying you...but that asshole that corrected someone's grammar earlier needs to just zip it) and b) people need to relax. It used to be nice here back in the day, when we had to pay for it.

NOW, to seriously get back on topic, because yes I did like this video, thank you very much HDTA, but I also wonder (and sorta hope) that they'll go really theme-y on all of their videos that would maybe tie into how this video came to it's gorey end? I guess it's hard to say since we've only heard two songs, but I think it would be cool.

A Poem:

Compost Taxi

Marooned for a while of films glory and mystery
turning cross to flower
submersion was tears and laughter; Projection.

Belated it knew itself as it never was.

A wish of dandelion puffer
comes late and early.

The balance of a standing flower, of turning

of cross of trodden
is it that somehow the fire already knows

Pretension
became a spoken humor and it never happened was not true,
was it not true that the hands were placed in the wrong places too often

as the voice shocks appeasing itself to solve

as writing would have grasped time

This has nothing to do with anything. Take it outside.

Happy Belated birthday and I love your new material! I am as usual very impressed. Congrats to all. Live long and prosper.

Inspiration hit me like venom in a cold vein when I saw this video in the early hours before dawn. I was starting to question if there was anything of substance out there as far as music went cause frankly, it has all been pretty thin as of late. Aside from those who make there own noise (such as myself) it is hard to find a sound that can compliment or even breakthrough the noise in our heads. I am anxiously awaiting what summer of 2010 will bring us. If this is the teaser, I hate to see what the main course is!!!

Always listen...

 

05/18/10 12:48 PM

I like it. Looking forward to the the EP and then the album

if i say I FUCKIN LOVED THE VIDEO SO DELIRIOUSLY MUCH!! will I sound cliché?

to be honest i didn't have high expectations as i was not so easygoing with the female vocal with reznor's music.. i wanted to hear reznor's voice the first time i peeked at how to destroy angels before.. i had a prejudice indeed.

but the video.. and the song... the combination... watching at 6:08 am, right in the morning.. the first thing after i woke up.. the eeriness.. the scary bleak atmopshere.. the sound..

it blew my mind. worth the waiting on my case.

I agree wholeheartedly on this. I was very skeptical, especially after hearing "A Drowning" I was less than impressed but this...holy shit!! The sound is impressive but the video along with it is so intense. Somebody mentioned "the meaning" behind this video being along the lines of all the Twitter debate and fans giving TR and Q shit...well...I think it is def possible since he is human and probably got pretty pissed that some people shot him down for acting as such! I say good for both of them. I love the darkness of this. I must confess my heart skipped a beat though when I saw a very "dead" TR laying in a pool of blood...not a vision I was anticipating...yikes!!
