Sounds like a bad Nine Inch Nails song with a chick singing it. Looked like a bad Nine Inch Nails music video as well, they just needed a pig head spinning on a turn table.. or someone drinking the poop water.

As a diehard Nine Inch Nails fan and long time purchaser of all the shit Trent has dished out over the years, I would like to say one thing:
Penix









Ps. Weak.

Yet, you hated the most "scratchy out of tune" album of all time, The Fragile?

Btw, the remastered deluxe edition for The Fragile is supposed to come out this year. Now THAT'S exciting! :D

Just finished listening to the full EP. Really cool! I like it better than most tracks on Year Zero. The Space in Between is probably my least favourite one but other than that it's a cool ride. Not groundbreaking but really enjoyable.

Considering you're referring directly to the Closer video clip there I'm just utterly confounded by your statement. There is practically nothing similar in video styles.

Personally I've really been enjoying Reznor in recent years. There's nothing amazing about "The Space in Between" which is the only track I've listened to so far but it's promising.

I was being facetious, to put it in simpler terms: the video was shit.

yes, and i still stand by that... i think it's the weakest nin album to date... personally i didn't like it much, just the odd song but i can't listen to it right the way through.

See... There's personal opinion, and then there's things like this that make me go WTF.
Maybe I'm just too saturated in my opinion that The Fragile is THE greatest NIN album, and easily one of the greatest albums of all time.
I can't think of a single song on that album that is bad. I mean, can you honestly say that The Slip is better than The Fragile? And that "I'm Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally" and "The Great Below" are not amazing songs? I just don't see how this album got so passed up and unappreciated.

I personally can't wait for the remastered edition to be released, including the bsides and original track listing. I would rather buy that than Trent and his Yoko's new little band here.

I'm kinda with Twin actually. Maybe it's because I wasn't into NiN when The Fragile came out and while it has some great songs on it as an album it's never done much for me.

Well, "they can't all be zingers", but how anyone can consider With Teeth superior to The Fragile is beyond me.

Then again, it doesn't seem that too many people share my opinion that Pilgrimage is one of the best tracks on TF or my general preference for NiN's instrumental side (A Warm Place is one of the best things he's ever done).

Too bad A Warm Place is practically a cover of the David Bowie song Crystal Japan. That kind of ruined the song for me. But yes, Pilgrimage is pure epic genius, as are the rest of the tracks... I mean... The Wretched.. Somewhat Damaged.... Into The Void... Please... The Mark Has Been Made... No You Don't... The Fragile... Even Deeper... There's not a single song on the album that isn't catchy and enjoyable.
I think the problem most people had is that they didn't have long enough attention spans, and the album was too different than what they were used to, because honestly, there's nothing wrong with the album itself.

I think With Teeth was Trent going the opposite direction. Short, aggressive, poppy, but a solid album nonetheless.

EDIT: I just listened to the whole EP. It's actually pretty good, aside from The Space Inbetween. I really liked BBB and A Drowning. It's cool that the name's a a tribute to Coil.
