Wow... i cant wait for this album! they released the tracklist on nin.com if you didnt know also a teaser... the teaser is very... teasy, but it sounds like a pretty cool song.

what do you guys think this album will be like?
i thought it was very weird that they have two songs with the word "love" in the song titles... nothing wrong with it, its just kind of weird, and should be interesting to hear.

well if anyymore news comes out, it would be cool of you to post it here, thanks in advance

I'm looking forward to hearing the album, but a tracklist isn't really much to go on. None of the titles particularly strike me, anyway, but then I never thought lyrics were his strong point.

I'm extremley excited. When I think of it, I act like a giddy little girl.

But seriously, it's awesome that he posted the tracklist. That just confirms that it's getting down to the final period of waiting after five years of doing so. The teaser was really cool, and that song just sounds awesome, though I have no idea how it will fit into the album (or even the song) based on what The Fragile's teasers turned out to be. The word is that the clip on the teaser is from The Hand That Feeds, which will be the first single planned for an April release, I believe.

In the mean time, I'll just keep binging on the other NIN albums.

Also, does anyone know if the Closure DVD is going to be coming out with the new album?

The other thing I'm waiting to hear about is if he's going to release the 5.1 mix with the album, or wait until later (as the album was mixed in both stereo and 5.1)

With Teeth will be released with both stereo and 5.1 surround sound. I simply cannot wait for this album. I second Bartender about none of the song titles looking to intruiging... but hey, at least it's a total of thirteen songs as opposed to the rumored track list of twelve.
And no, the Closure DVD will not be released with the new album. Trent Reznor says that it has been done for some time, but due to legal issues, he can't get it out to the public just yet.
I'd definitely like to see them live, because when Trent performs his music with a band, it rocks really, really hard.

I think The Collector is a really cool name. Despite what Trent has been saying ("twelve punches to the face" (although as we know now, it would rather be 13)), I hope the album is at least somewhat conceptual, as TDS and The Fragile were both very intriguing with their concepts and thematic material, such as the recurring motifs in both albums.

yeah i know what you mean about the NIN binging, ive been listening to the fragile and TDS nonstop ever since about November, i just cant wait for this album... the tracklist i think is pretty cool, im looking forward to hearing "only" because it sounds like a song like "hurt" or "great below" or "something i can never have". and i just love those songs...

and to the guy who said lyrics arent his strong point, i completely disagree, he has some of the best lyrics in my pinion, i mean, the music helps it ALOT, but the lyrics are jsut plain awesome to me

I do hope there are some Hurt/Great Below/Something...-style songs on the new record. I mean, I love the fast-paced, heavy stuff, but I'd say the best moments are the slower and more beautiful ones. I doubt Trent will let us down, as he hasn't yet. The clip in the trailer sounds very promising. It's very atmospheric and dark, which is exactly what I hope the album is.

yeah I agree, I think the teaser thing is awesome.
i couldnt say which songs i like more by him, between the faster and the softer ones, all i know is i just wanna weep everytime i hear "Something I Can Never Have" that song rules. i also want to see closure very badly, i just love the DVD "And All That Could Of Been"... its just incredible

He does have his moments with lyrics (the opening lyric of Hurt, for example, is still very powerful), but;

"pleading and, needing and, bleeding and, breeding and, feeding, exceeding"

"She shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters when everything is meaningless"

Two of the more extreme examples, yeah, but his lyrics aren't always great. Lots of day-ray-may, cat-sat-mat rhyming. I'm not saying they're bad, but they're not his strong point. His strength, I think (aside from the experimental nature of the music, which can be amazing) is his ability to make lyrics like that work. He's very good at songwriting outside of lyricism, making lyrics, whatever they are, flow incredibly well and catchily (witness; the outro of Somewhat Damaged; "The me that you know.." and following, from The Becoming).

Anyway, my point was that only The Collector, if any, really stands out as anything close to an interesting song title, to me.

While the Fragile isn't, I'd say TDS (listening to it now) is a lyrical masterpiece.

With Teeth is my most-looked forward to album and has been for some time.

/heads to NIN website in search of taster

not many people got ahold of this, but the delux version of "and all that could have been" has a bonus cd called "still", and on it is a song called "and all that could have been" - that my friends, is probably the best nin song ever recorded. it's simply beautiful.

I'm anticipating the NIN album. I have faith that Reznor still has songwriting ability.

The date seems fairly solid - 3rd May

Unless you're talking about Tool in which case - ???

Despite my usual tendency to slip off topic, I was talking about NIN.
I'm interested as to what the new Tool release will be like, but I'm not that excited about it.
