I've tried a couple of times and just can't make it through the whole video. ("Ew" effect.) Anybody have a couple of songs they'd like to recommend that I can listen to on Last.fm or Imeem?

Wait, stop for a second. I missed something. When in the hell did a religious debate enter this thread?

It' so cool to hate on Trent these days, I don't know how we managed with just dissing Bush.

You mean I can't still use my "Bush is the Antichrist" bumper sticker and T-shirt anymore?

Is it too early to blame everything on Obama yet?

Bush had to work very hard to get as unpopular as be became. He had to screw up the economy, squander an unprecedented moment of national unity by invading the wrong country under provably false pretenses, make torture, rendition, and domestic spying part of our "Greatest Country in the World" make-up, get re-elected on a platform of fear, let Katrina drown New Orleans, decry any criticism as traitorous, gut the Justice and State and Labor departments, alienate our allies and engage in dangerous brinksmanship with our enemies, and turn a blind eye to the failures of his own philosophy.

Obama has been in office for less then a year, and at the moment, he is STILL our best chance for righting at least some of our overflowing pile of wrongs. He's the most gifted politician to rise in decades, but not since FDR has a president had to deal with more problems right out of the gate, and FDR didn't have our skittish, hyper-partisan legislature, cable/radio loudmouth fear-mongers, the trillion-dollar special interest lobbies and their professional staff expertly rattling the public.

I'm willing to give our current President the benefit of the doubt for now. The euphoric honeymoon may be over, but that had to happen eventually anyway. Lets have something real and concrete to blame him for before we abandon the last guy who might just be able to fix things.

All of you are fucking ridiculous. This is exactly why I never got into the social networking, chat room, Twitter bullshit. And a preemptive “F” you to anyone who calls me out for posting in a thread. It is very, very seldom.

ahhh! finally a positive, polite and useful post ABOUT the horrors... thanks dude!

The Horrors are quite good. I'd give my left nut to see them along with NIN. Then again, I saw NIN with Alec Empire and Mew, which was pretty fucking sweet as well.

Nice video, but my favourite from these guys is still She Is The New Thing, mainly because I'm such an animation nut.

I have not read the whole thread, I just read that Trent deleted the previous thread for this because of bad comments about the band. I'll just say that I understand why some people may think that he shouldn't have done it, but I guess that he posted the new video from The Horrors to promote and help them, and if a lot of the comments were negative it's obvious that he wouldn't be helping the band very much. So I completely understand why he would delete that thread, if he told to the band that he would help them with some promotion and the results are bad comments about them, it equals to bad promotion and that could be bad for the band that he tried to help.

It's not necessary to be an Einstein to see that deleting said thread was the right thing to do if he really wanted to be helpful to The Horrors, you don't invite somebody to your house and allow your family to talk badly about your guests.

I could be wrong of course, I've not read the comments of the other thread or all the posts here.

There's an easy solution to this- just post a link to The Horrors new video on the home page and not start a thread about it on this site. If it's on Youtube, then people can discuss it there and not have it linked to nin.com.

Yeah, but he probably didn't think that people here would bash this band.

What if, just what if, the other thread WASN'T deleted because people weren't properly differential to TR's new favorite group. What if he actually thinks we ARE entitled to our opinions, so long as we keep it civil, and the other thread was deleted for some OTHER reason?

Just throwing that out there.
