But at the same time:

i totally agree with those that don't like HTDA and wish to express there disappointment .

You should have the right to say what you think of TR's new project as he has linked it to this site.

But hey i remember when ghosts came out, there was a shit load of critisism for that project as well.

so........

So I decided to give the EP a run through a few times before I commented.

At first I wasn't completely blown away....... I was going into it thinking it was going to be NIN under a different name, Trent fronting vocals and Mariqueen as more of a chorus/backup singer. I havent really been exposed to her in the past......

It's pretty much the exact opposite of what I was expecting.

The sound is definitely Trent and I really like Mariqueen up front. I ran the tracks through my home stereo, which has waaaay more thump than my computer speakers and it's really growing on me.

Overall, I think it's a good start for a post-NIN Trent and I expect more great music to come. I'd also like to see Mariqueen incorporated into some new NIN-focused tracks.

On a side note, could this woman get any fucking hotter? Seriously, Trent, she's unbelievable.......

The closing of the track "THE DROWNING" is what gets me optimistic for what HTDA has to offer the music world.

Keep it up! I like it.

Really good, I liked it. So far my favorites are The Space in Between, Fur Lined (similar to Only from With Teeth) and A Drowning. It's like NIN with a female voice, it adds a new dimension.. good job.

Thank you very much, she looks beautiful just glowing. The cover is cool, makes me think of Salvador Dali. Keep it up and happy belated birthday.

And see, there's nothing wrong with saying you don't like something. Just don't be rude and disrespectful about it.

I agree, but Ive seen so many get shit on-after saying something as simple as, "I cant say I like this project." Even by some moderators sad smiley

On an off the topic note, I have to say--YOUR avatar pic is the shiznit! lmao!!

Exactly...... It's going to be hard to find something everyone likes anyway and it doesn't matter what it is, people are different when they detail likes and dislikes.

I was thinking that since Trent is doing this as a Nine Inch Nail alternative, a direction that's more song focused and less focused on the entire album's relation to itself would be a good direction to take the project. I mean going by the band name of course but making the songs separate entities as distinct as possible makes sense, especially as an alternative to Nine Inch Nails. I'm about to get philosophical here, but I think it's an important point. Angels are separate entities, so it would make sense to characterize songs as much as possible, instead of making an album that leaks into the next song, and instead each song represents a different entity. So making distinct personalities, everything can come into play with the music. Different styles, different instruments, different tones, different directions for vocal, whatever fits the song best to get it's entity across. In my mind that's how it seems it would fit together.

... TR is a genius musician. He can do no wrong in my eyes. I've experienced years and years of deep joy as a result of his music - as I am doing at the moment. ... His music grows on me - it is original. THANK YOU!!!

I totally agree he is one of the most original and consist artists.The fact that he does not compromise is art is admirable

most artists should have his ethics

sorry ranting again.

What is "shiznit Imao" i dont understand this

 

06/12/10 2:58 PM

I've only listened to 2 tracks from the EP so far, but I love what I've heard.
I am a fan of all aspects of Trent's musical career. From the heavy stuff to the soft stuff. I even loved Option 30, for crying out loud. (You haven't lived until you've heard Trent belt out "Der Kommissar".)

Going to download the EP. Thank you for offering it as a physical CD too, HTDA, so going to buy in on July 6th.

6 tracks of would be industrial destroyed by Mariqueen's voice. Basically what I expected. It's like the Quake soundtrack with her singing over it.

agreed!!! (both thumbs up) *then waits.... and cries some more*


The tears of regret....frozen to the side of his face.

Nice. A quick question though. Who was mastering this EP? The dynamic range of music on this EP is at the level of 5 on average (in the scale of 0-20). It's way too flat! Way too flat... Details of your EP: [www.dr.loudness-war.info]

cheers

Huh? I guess a nail is designed to be hammered into something, could be hammered to anything, but the point is you drive the nail in until your done. That might could be said about different NIN albums. There's an overall point being hammered in song by song. Angels on the other hand are intelligent beings, each have different roles and character to address. While they might all be under a banner of serving God (or Satan if they're already a destroyed angel) they all have an intelligent personality that should be distinguished.

The link on the HTDA angels site is broken. When I try to buy the $2 download, it says my cart is session has expired. I've tried different browsers, turning off blocks, etc. No go. The customer support tips didn't work either. And I was so ready to give you my money lol.

Absolutely haunting. Fantastic. Leaves me wanting more!

?

I was wondering if there is an artistic explanation for the video of The Spaces In Between that came out recently. Maybe I have missed it somewhere? I would love to know the creative process on the making of the project to get a better understanding of why it was presented the way it was. I'm not saying I disliked or loved it. :-P I always like to hear the feedback of the artists on some of the more controversial material/videos that are put out.

Love Mariqueen's voice BTW. Would love to hear a duet with both Trent and her however. Just once maybe in the future?? Doesn't need to be a love song or anything cheesy like that. I think their voices compliment each other very well.

Thanks for the freebie yet again, and will return the favor by buying your album.

There's an entire forum here that focuses entirely on HTDA. There's even a thread where the video is being discussed.

Thanks..I will check that out :-)

 

06/15/10 10:11 AM

HTDA it's a new sound with T Reznor mark. Is very good music and something more... new. I love it, And now, A Drowning, it's my new "entrance" song of my online radio.
Thanks for this musica Reznor.

Regards from Argentina to everyone! smiling smiley

... HTDA has definitely grown on me. it's a cool, little record, i must say. i feel stupid for badmouthing it - so i'm sorry.
... i especially like the ending/climax of furlined. and i also really, really like the sound of trent and mariqueen's voice together - on parasite and BBB (which is so gangsta.)
i guess i see parasite and the believers as tracks that build up to crazy noise - which is cool.
a drowning still towers over all the other tracks in my eyes. ... the space in between is a great song too. ... all in all, a nice record.
... the record is definitely unique. the first and last tracks are very clear, while the rest of the record is very ... all over the place(noisy.) to be able to pull off this much variety is the sign of a real talent.
... and do you guys think that TR really cares about what anyone else says about his music? please. it's as clear as day that he's a genius - he knows he's a genius - so i'm sure he does his thing no matter what anyone says. we're just trying to keep up, Trent!

 

06/18/10 10:13 PM

... great record man. i'm hooked. trent's music has a way of growing on me and getting inside me, like becoming the stuff i shoot out when i'm happy - inspiring? ... no, but his music requires leisure for dance. one can't be stuffed up with his stale life (every day is exactly the same) to get in the proper mindset for this music. definitely something that one feels and does not analyze. ... and i'm feeling it, man. wow, it feels so good to feel this kind of music still. so many records in the past and it's still growing and thriving.

this music is anciently funky. muchas gracias amigos.

(i should be bitchslapped for dissing it - i needed the proper speakers!!!)

^^ I don't think I would describe it as a bullet or jism, but I had to break that long awkward silence anyway.
