For an obscene amount of money, at that.  I guess maybe I'm not the superfan that I used to be.

Likewise, pal!  When was the last time we've talked?  It has to be over ten years by now. :(

I would love to see an old board revival.  The Facebook group is convenient and all, but I honestly want to delete my account and just move back here.

As someone who doesn't own a record player, I'm peeved at the (utter lack of) choices Tren's presenting here. I'd love to hear an extended TF sans vox; not to mention what looks like a remastering of his full catalog, which I'd be... well... at least intrigued by.

But it seems the only option available for any of that is paying audiophile-vinyl prices so I can get a bunch of "hi-res digital" files plus some beautiful LP-sized artwork that I don't have room for. The vibe I'm getting is, "Vinyl is the preferred format for NIN, but for those of you without turntables, the alternate format is go fuck yourself."


I did LOL at the "SUDDENLY VERY APPROPRIATE TSHIRT" in the Clothing section.

I totally missed that the first time I browsed the store.  Hilarious!

I finally bought NTAE, hopefully I'll have a chance to listen to it tonight.  Probably while I'm browsing for a torrent for TF:D1.

I paid for it, and I still feel ripped off.

Apparently I'm supposed to get some artwork in the mail or something?  Bullshit!

I'll send that package back, in a cute little card that plays this song (https://youtu.be/Z54-QHEZN6E).

Just like old times!

his last few records make me miss his cringey lyrics, because they were less cringey. heck, even pre-phm era stuff is better than hesitation skidmarks.

Shit, I signed on to be the enthusiasm for this...

Not gonna lie, I've kinda hit the point where yeah, I know the words, but I'm more treating the vocals like another instrument, because I do still like the sound of TR's voice. [/fangirl]

WHO KNOWS...


so i got my package. but i didn't know what it was.

*phone ring*
my brother: you got mail, but it's bent!
me: fuck! from where?
brother: gnarlywood?
me: ????
brother: yeah.
me: can you open it and check what it is?
brother: it's a black envelope
me: ooooooooh, ok i think it's that nin thing.
brother: what?
me: the nin thin--
brother: ugh my hands are covered with ink!?!
me: oh yeah, i was gonna warn you about that



so yeah, be weary when opening it. there is a disclaimer, but the rumours are true.

lol
Title: Re: new NIN, anyone?
Post by: luna on March 03, 2017, 05:24:35 PM
Haha I still don't understand why??? And what I'm supposed to do with it...it's still just sitting in the envelope in my kitchen
Title: Re: new NIN, anyone?
Post by: Naylzie on March 03, 2017, 06:17:38 PM
Mine finally showed up, and I'm deeply grateful for the warning about how messy it was going to be.  Thanks to that, it's still in the envelope, wrapped in paper towels, on a shelf, until I can remember to pick up some rubber gloves, because I got inked bad enough just getting the envelope out of the plastic.

Also, suggestion re: picture sizes; imgur is totally an option for stuff that would break the board.

Does anyone think it would have been a more meaningful experience if you'd had to dig through someone's attic or some unorganized curio shop or dig it up out of the ground?  Because I get that he wants a weird physical component but...
I'M SENDING YOU AN ENVELOPE OF TONER FOR THE AMBIANCE.

Uh...what?  Having had many real-life experiences with toner, I can assure you it's not even a cool thing to end up on your hands, your clothes, in your lungs, whatever.  It's gross.

Meh, I still haven't fully delved into that album anyway.

I got mine on Friday, but its still in its plastic casing.  I know its going to be a mess, but my other problem is that the only place I have to open something like that safely is my kitchen counter, which is also black.  I think its just going to sit like that for a while until spring, when I can open it outside or in my garage or something.

holy fuck, this is the album that i hoped Hesitation Marks was...

these 5 tracks feel a lot more like new nin than HM ever did.
he's taking chances. he's doing new things. and he's not sucking.

paired that with a familiar tie to the old (in this case revisiting YZ story territory and  possibly giving us a sequel?)

really cool. really weird. this is the new nin i've been waiting for.

Hey, new live nin vid: https://youtu.be/XG6BLXrWZ1E

the last ep is really growing on me hearing it live.

edit:
also weird they're finally letting atticus out of the basement and he's playing with nin live.

copy a is one of the few good things on hesitant skidmarks.

edit 2:
wow robin actually sings and not shrieks!
