But this sounds great as always love the way Trent interprets music and creates and original sound. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/25/2011 03:33PM by sturmanjh.

echoplex1970 member Joined: 12/06/10 Location: somewhere Posts: 64	Found an mp3 this morning. When I first heard NIN version of 'Zoo Station'... All I could think was it was good to hear Trent again. After the 4th time listening I was diggin' his version. The song is over 6 minutes long, which was cool, and reminds me of NIN version of 'Metal' where the song is longer and Trent does his instrumental magic to the song. The cool thing about nine inch nails is that they can cover a song and make it their own way but nobody can really cover nine inch nails when it comes to their music. I've heard several others try, but fail. The only decent cover is and always will be Johnny Cash's version of 'Hurt'. I've heard others but no...

Whether that's true I don't know. But the idea? of Trent covering it, given his past addictions, is one I definitely can get behind. Taken in that way, it def feels like the calm of realizing i'm ready to move past the destruction." Is this true? If so, it helps me see the song in its light.

Matttcollins member Joined: 03/08/10 Location: Virginia Posts: 75	Trent Reznor can do no wrong. I can't think of any other band that does covers as well as Nine Inch Nails. You can listen to both the original and and cover and feel as if you are listening to two separate songs. Although the cover still keeps a charming, pleasent familiarity to the original. I mean this about all NIN covers, not just Zoo Station.

According to Wikipedia: The song's lyrics were inspired by a surrealistic story about Berlin from World War II that lead vocalist Bono heard, when overnight bombing damaged the zoo and allowed animals to escape and wander around the city's rubble. Bono was also inspired by the city's Berlin Zoologischer Garten railway station and used it as a metaphor for a reuniting Germany.

I wonder if TR put additional special meaning to it personally other than a tribute.

Something I forgot to mention, and more incentive to buy: the track is only playing at a measly 192kbps (Tumblr's upload limit forced me to cut quality), so if you want to hear the track at full power, you'll need to get the disc!

Do you think so? it really sounded to me like a different voice, will listen to it again. otherwise I like it a lot, although I think 'Zooropa' is more their album to cover.

To be honest, it kinda shows of his limitations when he isn't singing parts he wrote for himself. C+ What are you talking about? How does this show any limitations? I don't hear any strain or off key singing. If anything, I hear Trent expanding his range. It sounds like him, but in some parts, it doesn't. "With your face pushed up against the glass..." Sounds very deep and I don't think I've ever heard his voice that low before. Amazing. I love how he says/sings "glass." I am so happy I got to hear this song. I thought it would be hard to get a hold of. Now I'll probably listen to it too many times, but that's okay; I've got headphones on.

angelrosewater member Joined: 10/18/11 Location: Houston Posts: 29	LOL. I agree with the 'glass' thing. I love how he whispers words in his music sometimes, and they still sound cool and powerful. m0nster posted: HurtNoMore posted: So this is what Trent sounds like when he is singing in the shower...

It's the best part of the song. #whispers# for reaaaaal I've listened to the other two songs. Depeche Mode's cover sounds like U2. Defeats the purpose. The Killers' isn't exactly groundbreaking either.
