New EP out 12/23
Website is overloaded rn

He is also releasing a 4LP deconstruction of The Fragile, one time pressing.

Those vinyls look tasty... the Fragile vinyl has 37 tracks on it!

Funny there's no mention of Apple Music on this anywhere...

NINE INCH NAILS

     THE PHANTOM PAIN

seems like he's re-releasing a ton of old NIN next year

new record is not good

deconstructing The Fragile?

Gotta say I'm super happy with this new EP. Really wanted an amalgamation of heavy shit and his new electronic workings with Atticus Ross. 

Really disappointing. I thought this would be something different and forward - it's just him revisiting The Fragile.

would be down to own the fragile thing but $80? 

This ep is so addicting  and i love every single track, everything seems to fall apart and come together, really fresh stuff

I wish. This is The Fragile minus the drugs... so, kind of bland and empty.

The Fragile versions vinylz is tempting. It's underrated for some reason. It gots some neat sounds and tracks.

listening to the fragile deviations now, its basically instrumentals off the original mixed with some alternate versions in their respective order. i'm not really sure what he was trying to do, structuring it in a way where it plays like the original album but every now and then, you'll be expecting one of those linear transitions where the tracks blend into eachother, but its an alternate take so it just doesnt happen that way. maybe i'm expecting too much but for a release that costs $80 it feels kind of sloppily thrown together. just do a soundcloud dump trent cmon breh, or just release an album of weird bonus tracks, why include the instrumentals at all?

the alternate versions are pretty cool though and there are a few bonus tracks innere as well that were completely not on the original, those are cool too but pretty apparent they were unimportant enough to be left off the original release. $80. kind of feels like he was going through his 1998-1999 folder on his old hard drives and was like "shit i can put this on some fancy vinyl and buy my hot asian wife a new tesla"

overall review:

its cool that it came out but i'm glad i didnt pay for it/10

20 minutes after this post has been published afterthought:

some of the bonus tracks that weren't on the original are actually really deece

yeah I somewhat agree with that.. I'm not really disappointed but some of the tracks sound a bit like demos compared to the final mixes, and the lack of continuity makes that even more apparent.
