Also I don't think he'd be posting pictures like this if the material was a year away, it wouldn't make sense... Maybe a few weeks or months, but a year?

Yeah, I think the whole reason people have been all pumped up is that this latest series of photos was so much like the buildup to the last few albums. He's been pretty quick from "tease" time to "Wow, here the fuck it is already!!" recently, so I can't blame people for being excited...

Guess we'll just have to wait & see.

Trent said in an early news update that there would be new NIN this year so yeah, it's perfectly fine for people to expect a full length album this year.

Yes he did say new NIN but he never said full length album.. I'm not saying it won't be but he's indicated in interviews that he'd like to release smaller EP's digitally over time so I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see releases of anywhere from 2-5 songs at a time..

I'm paraphrasing but if I remember correctly ( I wish I could find it ) .. he said he'd rather do this because of the time it takes between full length albums.. The fans get excited and built up over it, they quickly go in and listen to it a few dozen times and they are ready for more.. the newness wears off .. With smaller releases over a period of time it helps keep interest..

I tried finding the interview where he talked about this but I'm at work and couldn't spend hours digging it but it'd certainly explain the short period of time since NIN stopped to the pictures and a potentially soon release.. certainly 3-4 songs takes less time than a full length album... and I'd be just as grateful

I've read some posts in this forum.
All I can make out of it is that most people see it as a priviledge for Trent & co to make a album.

I'm sure someone, somewhere, sometime must have said the same thing as I am going to tell you right now.

You should be thankfull that he is willing to create and share his art with us.
He doesn't have to do this you know.

Get out into the sun, enjoy your life and be thankfull whenever they release new material someday, instead of wasting time on repeating the same complaints over and over again.

Take care.

No he doesn't have to share his art with us you are correct. Now don't get me wrong, Trent I'm assuming isn't a money hungry dick hole like the majority of other "artists" But I'm sure he doesn't mind those royalties he gets and thus why he has to love his fans so much. All the more power to the man. Gave me free music and encourages me to steal it. Yet I still paid for five dollar Saul Williams cd and the digital and physical copy of Ghosts. The man is a genius, but he is human and he does love the money and attention he gets from all this shit. Not saying he's bad guy. Ok before you forum fanatics start call me a troll or what ever the hell it is now a days I'm thinking he's going to come out with some down right shocking and different. Personally I would love another With Teeth type album, but who knows with Trent.

p.s. Just one more picture please heh

Can I be the first to say that Trent is back on twitter again - and hopefully all is well in the World of NIN! Please let this be the beginning of some more communication about what's going on!

the idea of albums and singles is becoming more and more outdated - i could see new material being released as online EPs

This is why I'm a bit cautious towards the EP idea.

I think Broken was officially an EP, though, right? The hidden tracks made it very nearly an album length project, I guess, but it's one of my favorites in the whole NIN oeuvre.

Gotta agree with the sentiment that a whole album is still something distinct and think that TR himself has expressed the feeling in very similar terms as Scott: "sitting down with a good album" and hearing how the whole thing goes together (anyone who can help citing this would be welcome).

Albums are not outdated at all. Singles, maybe. However, there is nothing I enjoy more than sitting down with a good album and listening toit in it's entirety. This is why I'm a bit cautious towards the EP idea. Yes, it makes sense in terms of keeping attention, but what I've liked about NIN is that Trent is one of the few "album" artists left. I wouldn't want this new album to be like With Teeth, where the songs are not connected as much. I'd like another Fragile or Year Zero. They had a bigger picture to the music, I liked that.

Ya, i couldn't agree more scott. I'm 15 and i go to the record store all the time to get new albums (and doing that is surprisingly not that unusual at my school). EP's are okay but i would like to see a new full length album. Afterall, didnt that one picture have a pic of a list going down to 16? Ya. The only I'll disagree with is that u said With Teeth isnt as connected because i still feel as if every song works together in a way, and i love that album. But ya, i agree with u

Well I should explain With Teeth a bit more. I feel that near the second half it gets just fucking brilliant, among my favourite moments of NIN are in there. From With Teeth (song) and on, the album DEFINITELY connects and forms an image. However, before the title track, I really don't see as big of a connection. It's my same issue with The Slip, except replace With Teeth with Head Down. Just my personal observation.

yeah both albums, the slip and with teeth, aren't as straight forward as other albums but personally i feel like i found a connection between all the songs on each album. i just hope the new stuff continues with the greatness of Trent's work, plus on top of that if he was to do the three ep thing maybe he's gonna put more story to it and end each ep with a segue to the next one, lyrically and musically, so it will make people look forward to the next one with more anticipation than what is gathered here for whatever Trent is doing now. kinda like a trilogy thing. but that's just a thought.

Agreed. Those goddamn question marks!!!...are you recording an album or trying out for the role of The Riddler in the next Batman movie? Sorry...I'm suffering NIN withdrawal.

You really think so?

Two things:

1) Trent tweeted a month ago that the session has been finished (or at least we can assume that according to that tweet).

2) "Not Rushed". Seriously guys, what does "not rushed" mean in your opinion? You can't know for how long he has been thinking about whatever he's doing at the moment.

Quick example: Let's assume its YZ2 (just an example). He could have thought about that for 3 years now, wrote songs during the extensive tour (yeah i know Ghosts and TS were in between, but still. Ghosts was rather a side project aka 10 weeks and i think TS took about the same amout of time). If you have the picture in your head, you can finish/record stuff quicker than starting from zero, especially if you're a pro like Trent.

What I'm trying to say: You can't know for how long he has been working on stuff. Or in other words, how long he has not been working on it. Therefore, the "not rushed" comments are quite redundant.

Nine Inch Nails is god!

In his interview here:

[www.pinkisthenewblog.com]

Which was right before his final show.. he said "I'm sure another ghosts album will come pretty soon"

Come on, Trent.

If we can't have everything, well, then just give us a taste


----

Once he's finally finished with whatever he's working on, this wait's gonna seem so worth it.

The good news is that the semester ends in just over 2 weeks. Once summer rolls around, the days are just gonna fly by

I remember having 5-year waits for new albums... but then again, it's really hard to know something is on the horizon and not want it immediately.

Definitive Proof:
