Okay... First Downward Spiral and now Pretty Hate Machine. Re-release Fragile already! Be sure to include Ten Mile High, The New Flesh, AND Please w/ Appendage. If I'm forgetting anything please chime in folks. This is something that is long overdue.

thank you trent.
my life sucks right now.
but when i got the twit that you're re-releasing phm...
...it sucked a little less.

-after everything i've done i hate myself for what i've become-

Please release this in Hi-rez blu-ray audio. Waiting on my Social Network Blu-ray audio, since DVD-A and SACD have become pretty much obsolete the release of PHM on Blu-ray could be a huge step in getting quality sound back into people homes, not this MP3 bullshit everywhere. I mean who doesn't have a blu-ray player.

Can't wait either way love this disc

Thank you!

Still looking forward to new real NIN material!

A music world without NIN is like a lovelife without sex!

This is great news! Has this been remixed as well or is this just a straight re-master? Not to sound like an ungrateful douche, but if any NIN album was in dire need of a remixing it's PHM. Unfortunately, no amount of remixing could turn "Kinda I Want To", "That's What I Get", and "Ringfinger" into good songs, lol. This is coming from a diehard nin fan. Those tracks should have suffered the same fate as "Maybe Just Once" and "Purest Feeling". Getting back on track, a remastered version of "Get Down, Make Love" would be a nice little bonus, eh Trent? And if the tracks from the "Industrial Nation" demo cd have been found, for the love of God Trent, PLEASE include them! I'd kill a man just to hear those tracks...

hey douche! those songs you are referring to are fucking amazing! those songs ARE phm!you ungrateful douche!!! (jk with the whole douche thing)

No need to kid because it's true lol.

To a couple posts above, Kinda I Want To is in my PHM top 3. It's awesome, screw you guys.

EDIT: Also, Rngfinger. I god damn love Ringfinger.

Oh you've said it, my #1 at the moment and of course a top-song of the album.
Too catchy to don't get caught.

Thank you so much for this. i recently went to a concert. its just not the same. i never enjoy myself like i did at a NIN concert. just simply listening to a NIN album will be good enough, especially the reissue of one of my favorite records. id rather listen to a cd of my favorite band then ever spend money on a ticket to go to a concert unless its NIN. its just the way i feel. if anyone has ever had the pleasure of seeing NIN perform live, then u have to agree with me.

This is the best news i have heard in a long time! I love phm but it has such an 80s feel to it that i cant blast it in my radio like i want to. This is the cd that i always wanted remastered. thanks.

I liked the 80's because it was a period in which I could basically eat anything such as gum chewed by someone else and I wouldn't get shit for it. Now, however...

Needless to say I loved the 80's.

Ha! Love it!!

FUCKIN' A, BUDDY. HEY HOW ABOUT WE TALK ABOUT RE-ISSUING THAT PESKY OL' 'FRAGILE' ALBUM, YA' FUCKER????!!!! -just teasin' everything you do is magic, TR.

This is a great surprise thanx but I need the FRAGILE cause I use "the day the world went away" to help with the death of my grandfather, like you do for your grandma Trent, it helps me,thank-you trent for sharing the pain of life with us, and showing us everone has their issues but music can slay the beast inside, especially when it is deep.

I've always been kind of sad that the version played live goes the complete other direction compared to the album version. I know that the album version has a huge multitude of guitar tracks mashed over each other to achieve the sound, but I love just sinking into the depth of it. The quieter version of TDTWWA is great and all, but manages to feel almost anti-climactic for me.


As far as the Fragile reissue, I'm thinking Bicycle is probably easier to work with than the company he left on, what sounded like, pretty bad terms. We'll see The Fragile re-released when it can happen I'm sure.

Why, is your volume function broken on your stereo? I hope it doesn't sound loud at all, I hope it has full dynamic range with a couple dB's headroom, which is the way CD's were meant to be done.

All this dynamic range compression on today's music sucks the fucking life right out of the music and makes it sound like shit. Remastering usually means the dynamics are squashed and it sounds nowhere near as good as the original recording, see Telephantasm for the most recent example.

Here's Outshined from the 1991 Badmotorfinger CD followed by the 2010 Telephantasm version.

1991 Badmotorfinger



2010 Telephantasm



The vinyl is shit too, done from the same dynamically challenged masters the CD's were created with. I returned my "limited edition" already, not spending $80 on that kife.

Love the new artwork. I'm really curious to hear how it sounds, too. Pretty Hate Machine was very much "of it's time". In other words it sounds a little dated...as does a lot of 80s music. Product of the technology of the time, I suppose. The song-writing is top-notch, of course, and I'd rate it and "With Teeth" as the two albums that are good to introduce a new fan to NIN with.

Can't wait to get it!

If it's just re-mastered and not re-recorded then it will sound exactly the same as far as the sound of the 80's goes.

Swwweeeeeet! Yes Yes Yes!
Now, hopefully someone will put up the money for the 5.1 mix.

skinlayers

Fuck yeah, and let's hope it's either on DVD-A, Blu-ray or SACD. It would be a shame to do a 5.1 mix and only deliver it on DVD-Video with lossy 448 Kbps Dolby. Hope they might add a Blu-ray SKU like they did with The Social Network OST.

SSquirrel posted:

Also, unlike a lot of remasters, I think Trent will manage to keep some dynamics, while not making them quite as extreme and not introducing digital clipping. The Loudness War is insane. Altho it still makes me grin to think that a few of the tracks on Alice in Chains "Dirt" have stickers at the radio station reminding people to turn the volume down X amount when they play them

I hope so, but Year Zero wasn't very dynamic at all. PHM sounds awesome to me from a mastering standpoint, so I hope they don't apply ANY drc or limiting at all.

The Beatles Mono boxset is the best remastering job I've seen in a while.

SardoNumspa posted:

Excellent news. Will be picking this up. I always thought the original album sounded a bit 'quiet'. Hopefully this will have a more pumped up sound

God I hope not, my volume control works fine on my stereo.

GREAT!!!!!

I'm just a bit concerned about these remastered versions... no doubt about Trent and Tom's abilities. Just hope it's not just "louder."

Amen brother.

nihilmatters posted:

Tom Baker has mastered some excellent albums...

With Teeth and Year Zero were not so great - [www.dr.loudness-war.info]

I mean, they were great albums, but the mastering was not so great. The Social Network looks really good though, even in .mp3 format. Hopefully my Blu-ray will arrive today.

Haha, but you're bang on the money with those songs, they're all fucking fantastic. PHM is perfect.

You rock!!!! And with over 22 million Blu-ray players in US homes I fully agree, this is the best format for music.

Trent, if you are out there...

Will there be a 5.1 remixed version like you did with The Downward Spiral?

Thanks!

Please, please, please! It is encouraging to see so many people looking for this.

I thought the DE was coming through Artists in Residence, which should mean 24/192 surround Blu-ray as well as other formats.

I know nobody will answer this question, but i'll ask anyway.
What about international releases? USA exclusive is a bad idea.

+ same question regarding TSN soundtrack CD.
