Another song has been leaked, 'Me, I'm Not'.
Just google ninwiki and follow links..

I'm doubting the f[size=2]u[/size]ck out of this album now.
C'mon, if it's going to be terrible just release it all in one go.. not song by song.
The concept(and amount of effort behind it) is making me think that he is trying to save this lazy, piece of sh[size=2]i[/size]t attempt at music.

This all sounds like some guy with infinite resources getting pissed and writing crap.
Good concept. Boring as HELL music.

Anyway, I'm in an extremely judgmental mood right now so...

Wtf is up with the video on [url]http://yearzero.nin.com/?[/url]

It's apparent video footage of 'The Presence'.

I'm definitely afraid he's compensating for something with all this nonsense.

Fun, kind of intriguing nonsense, but nonsense nonetheless.

Wow, that video really creeped me out.

That's cool. The landscape looks familiar.

You could be right. I hope not. I know another band that has pretty terrible music but have put so much effort into a mysterious concept and gimmick that they have tons of fans. Gets old fast, though.

Who is that?

Honestly I'm excited about this album. I think it will be good, but I also think we can't start judging it until we hear it all. Trent has obviously put A LOT of thought into this, and when he puts a lot of time, effort, and thought into things, we usually get great things from him (i.e. TDS, The Fragile).

^ Yeah, you're probably right.
I don't think I'll be downloading any other leaks 'til he releases it from now on.
As individuals the songs really aren't doing anything for me, but perhaps as an album with concept involved/in mind the songs may have some spark.

am i the only one who bothered to slow down the video jsut to see what was on the signboard.

The rest of us have lives.

No, you're not. We know it says "I AM TRYING TO BELIEVE" on it.

Ooh, I did not know about the words on the signbaord. Interesting.

Not a good camparison, I know. :/

Oh, i had no idea what signboard you were talking about. I see it now. Well, I don't mind the two songs that have been released. I actually like them. There's been such a big deal about this album..i hope it lives up to all the hype. But for now, the WT dvd is gonna be out this Tuesday. I'm really excited about that release..the few clips that have been released over at nin.com look awesome! Nice and clear...this should be an amazing live dvd.

You mean THREE songs? I still don't know what to think about "Me, I'm Not"

It reminds me too much of My Violent Heart, just not as good :/

I'm really digging all the "released" tracks thus far, and the concept has got me hooked, for some odd reason.

[QUOTE=bwnstl;14265602]You mean THREE songs? I still don't know what to think about "Me, I'm Not"[/QUOTE]

That's right. I had totally forgotten about Me, I'm Not. Well, like you, I don't know what to think about that song either. Not what I expected...Then again, I've only heard it one time since its release.

Yep I missed out on tickets to the Melbourne club gig, guess i have to wait for a proper tour now :(

Oh and to all the Aussies you can get 'Beside You In Time' at JB Hifi stores now, i haven't picked myself up a copy yet though.

7 Days till I see them¬

Just saw this over at the ETS boards and thought was a bit interesting. This happened at tonight's show...Someone talking about the new album:
[QUOTE]
"Spiral members went in expecting a sound check and instead got pizza (in your face ninjaw) and Trent turning up saying “soundchecks are boring- listen to this” and they got to listen to the whole new album ‘Year Zero’.

Agree that’s its like the soundtrack to a movie you have never seen.
Described it as being like prince, devo, royksop with a large dollop of noise.
Equally catchy and dense.
Has all the old nin elements we would recognise but is brand new too.
The same people who thought that Hurt was written by Johnny Cash are going to think that this album is a bad marilyn manson covers album when in reality it concludes the argument over who is the better artist".[/QUOTE]

I heard that someone found a new USB pen in the stall tonight at the show...and I have been all over that board for the past week or so...

EDIT: We have a new leak, "In This Twilight"

I like In This Twilight. Noisy, crunchy, yet catchy at the same time.

Have you seen its associated website?

SOOOOO depressing.

Somehow I go the impression that all these leaks were purposeful. Any truth to that?

Well, it would make sense this late in the game, considering there have been, what, three songs leaked by USB pens at NIN shows?

As elaborate as this is turning out to be, Year Zero better be one hell of an album.

Show me.

It's like a treasure hunt!


Jake - 123

Oooh,
Link to the new song?

^ Here's a link for 'In This Twilight'...if that's what you're asking for.

I've liked all the song that have been released thus far. If anything, 'Me, I'm Not' is the only one that's taken me a bit longer to really get into. I'm looking forward to this. By the way, everyone picking up the dvd this Tuesday?

[QUOTE=misunderstood;14276677]I'm looking forward to this.[/QUOTE]

What do you have to look forward to? :p

^Heh, reading back on my comment, that does seem a little random..But I meant the album. I'm looking forward to Year Zero. That's really all I have to look forward to now...seeing as how Tool was postponed...again!:p

I know; I mean to imply that you're basically listening to all of it now, so how can you look forward to it?

:upset:

^Oh, :upset:
I know...but I can't help it. Actually, I'm not even trying.
Ok, I'm looking forward to hearing these songs live then...:p

So who's in the touring party this time around? Anyone special?

This song is my fav so far.

Does anyone else think that 4 leaks already is way too much?
I hope it doesn't bollock the whole listening experience.

This is all very silly. Leaking the songs is one thing, but doing it in the same way every time (people finding USB sticks) is ridiculous.

Does anyone know or know where to get setlists for the current tour?

Eh at least its an interesting way to do it. Oh and 'Me I'm Not' is now up on there myspace for those who want to listen.

Go here and click on the Tour Journal section it's usually pretty reliable

It completely skipped my mind that i'm seeing NIN on sunday. That, my friends, is a cool realisation.

Birmingham, right?

I'll be there!
