First thing I thought of when I listened to it was The Slip, mainly Letting You.
Then it sounded more like the instrumentals off it (4 of us are dying), the kind of creepy dark NIN factor.
Still stands at abou 3.5/5 only for me though, like the slip, it feels it could be, more.

I'll have to listen to it some more, see if it becomes better. Definatley give the whole EP a listen when it comes out.
As for drowning, I didn't like that much at all, I ended up turning it off before it ended all 3 times I tried listening to it.

Hi everyone.
You cannot purchase HTDA songs on amazon if you don't live in the USA. You cannot purchase songs from itunes if you don't use that software.
Is there any other way to pay for their music?

 

05/19/10 12:14 PM

There should be an Amazon site for your country.

I was a bit afraid at first when I read the news feed..... Luckily my expectations were met!

Definitely good to see this isn't some...how do I put it... publicity stunt?

The music is solid and I really really like it. I really enjoy her vocals with the industrial instrumental...

Keep it coming, and don't fret... it's sounding awesome.

I would suggest one thing though:

I'd like to see hear more contrast in the music vocally: I feel the sound is mature, and I am all for the subtle noises but lets hear some stuff that takes full potential of her vocal range!

Of course you may not be going for that...

Best of luck.

Is it just me or is it difficult to work out who is who on that page?

As far as I know, there's only one amazon site, it doesn't matter where you are purchasing from.
I checked www.amazon.com.ar (I'm from Argentina), but it doesn't exist. I also don't see any "region" settings on the website.

Hello Gustavo!

You're right, there isn't an Argentinian version of Amazon yet. So far, only Canada, China, France, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom have their version of Amazon.com. Since Leo couldn't see where you were living, she went with the idea that you were from one of these countries.

If I remember correctly, you could only pay for the song on either Amazon or iTunes but I'll try to look for other ways to buy it. It the meantime, maybe you could try buying it from the other Amazon sites (you'll find the links to them at the bottom of the amazon.com page; but don't bother with Canada because they aren't selling MP3s yet).

I'll let you know if I find anything! smiling smiley

Loving it all, its truely different and I respect that.

About some people saying theres not a strong enough voice, I think you're missing the point, the strength lies in atmosphere and narrative and not the agression trent is so good at.

BE UNIQUE!

 

05/19/10 6:03 PM

I love it!

 

05/19/10 7:42 PM

So many questions unanswered- why was the blonde calling someone from within the room? Wouldn't that call be traceable? Wouldn't they link her to the crime that way?!?
Anyway, awesome song and video. Can't wait for the whole album. I was so geeked I showed it to my husband and all he said was, "Hey, they drive a Ford". Nevermind the burning flesh, he notices keys on the floor. Idiot.

 

05/19/10 7:48 PM

It just seems very needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, because this song has basically become an "instant favorite" of mine. I also think that this is the only music video Trent Reznor died in since Down In It. (Or this could perhaps include Survivalism if I'm not mistaken.)

 

05/19/10 7:50 PM

And Wish -- the mob gets their hands on him, and I doubt it was to give him a massage... AND when he starts getting ready to get strapped into the machine at the end of Happiness in Slavery...´

Recurring theme?

 

05/19/10 7:52 PM

I love this new shit big time. After about 2 years off, I'm excited about NIN/Reznor again. The antis are out in force....of course you knew they would be. It's a weird breed but if an artist can still bring out this level of either love or hate, that artist is doing something right. Spin has the video posted and it seems to be a congregating point for the anti NIN trolls. Wanna fight em?

I actually forgot that just because they didn't show him deceased, doesn't necessarily mean that the music video implied otherwise.
RodrigoD posted:

The same would definitely go for that music video too, although I have wondered whether or not Trent Reznor was actually the antagonist in Happiness In Slavery. (Like him being outside of the cage or cell, and cleaning up after his victim, but the fact that he did the same exact thing the victim did also says otherwise.)
RodrigoD posted:
Recurring theme?
I suppose so, and I actually didn't put so much thought into it for a while until now. Are there any other music videos by NIN featuring this particular theme, or is that all for now?

Cruising around the internet and reading people's comments, it seems people are diggin it. I really don't think her voice is that special though, it's mostly the music and beat I'm really attracted to. She is hot though.

 

05/19/10 9:13 PM

Wow. I'm in a total flame war at Spin.com over this video. What the fuck is it with these people that they're so motivated to hate NIN? I understand posting in favor of something you love, what is the psychological motivation to troll a board with negative comments. It's not like TR is a politician.

... i have never seen anything like this video. the quality of the film is very sharp. the concept is obviously original, interesting, and thought-provoking. mariqueen is so, so beautiful - even though she's rather f'd up and stuff. and the growing fire is so awesome. nothing like i've ever seen. mariqueen singing with the fire melting her eyeballs - wow!!! ... you guys are sick! I LOVE IT!!!

thank you for just ... being you.

Very nice video.. but I have to say I'm a bit worried now. So does this mean NIN is dead? And it's going to be replaced with this band? I like the idea of a female vocalist with industrial music but I'm worried with Trent being so close to the singer (since she's his fiancee) it could have some kind of destructive implications if this sorta thing doesn't work out. More power if it does, HOWEVER, that doesn't mean I won't listen to the band, I do like it. I also like NIN though so I hope that this kinda thing doesn't prevent any future releases from NIN.. but with them selling off all their stuff, ending touring and everything it looks like NIN is very close to becoming dead more than people may want to admit/would like to think..

 

05/19/10 10:02 PM

They'll probably remove this though, anyway.. but Trent's fiancee is hot! I had to say that. I'm not sure if that's something that Trent wouldn't like to hear from his fans.. I'm sure he's aware of it though.

New Band. New Voice. New Story To Tell.

HOW TO DESTROY ANGELS (HTDA) doesn't disappoint -- distinctive sound displays the work of musical geniuses at their best.

Excited to witness HTDA unveil thier full artistic range and come into their own.

New members of "Reznor's" band display refreshing unique talents combined into one band which hasn't been seen in the industry for some time.

HTDA is meant to be -- following thier own natural instincts will undoubtedly create band's own mass following.

Ready for more...

Damn, Reznor feel in a total new direction, sweet, I'll buy the cd the day it comes out.

I can assure you that NIN is very much alive and is not dead. You get a prize though for being the 501,456th person to ask.

I assume the pretty gal is your fiance'? Congratsie! Oh yeah, destroy angels by first destroying all hope. Snooch to the nooch.

There is also Deep....

Oh, and BTW, the "blood" in Spaces In Between video, the first time I saw it I thought it looked like barbecue sauce. Sorry, but that is what it looked like to me.

Actually she's his wife. They got hitched last October. 17th if memory serves. I remember it was the same night my other job had our most successful single night performance ever, just not 100% on the date

You know, waking up this morning, I just had a thought that, back in Jan/Feb, this is the direction I wanted the iamamiwhoami virals to go. Instead it went with dance music and guys humping puppets in their underwear. sigh.

Also, watching the video again this morning, the continuity of the blood on her chest is way off...first there's lots, then if you look around the 1:53 mark, practically none, then it's there again in the next body shot. Sigh. And that also makes me go wtf, I thought she was stabbed in the chest (because of the knife) and shot in the head (because of, well...the massive amount of blood behind her head) and now that's not true, but it would be dumb to be stabbed in the head...I mean, who the hell does that?
