Nine Inch Nails | Hesitation Marks

[harmless]

Oh, and... think Industrial club music. This thing would come alive with huge speakers in a big hall.

Glad to hear that because after my first two listens I wasn't too impressed.

Yeah, it does get better. The beats and rhythms crawl up on you slowly with each listen. There's a lot of subtle stuff going on in each track.

He's playing with ambience, rhythm production and samples more than ever before on a vocal album. Headphones and full concentration are essential. It's like Ghosts, as far as I know it, but with little flourishes and influences from PHM, Year Zero and The Fragile. It never gets fully angry, it holds itself back, as if Trent is clenching his teeth rather than biting. There's also a fair bit of downbeat depressing stuff with no intention to get angry. In that sense, 'Hesitation Marks' seems like the perfect title. It's a slow-burner... less 'Somewhat Damaged' than 'Almost Damaged.'

Nail on the head right here.

I will be starting this very loudly, very shortly... I very well know it isn't the same (house to hall) but my woofer just got kicked up a few notches.

i would say its the perfect mix between most of their albums, specially from TDS and TF with this whole electronic feel he has been developing since what..year zero? Ghosts?

Great album.

Everything didn't make it onto the ipod. Shame it ruins side 2 of the vinyl...

Yup, pretty much.

Yeah, Everything is bordering on "cringe-worthy". Probably one of the weakest he's ever written.

Listening to Satellite right now...

The album is superb. 'Everything' works as an indulgent palate-cleanser before the less instant, more dour and depressing second half.

Everything works as the song that is deleted from the tracklist, never to heard again.

[Tyler Durden]

I don't entirely get the hate people have for "Everything"; it's not THAT bad. People seem to forget some of Trent's less than stellar moments from the past...

"Starfuckers, Inc." was a giant steaming pile of mall goth garbage.

And the first half of "The Perfect Drug" (before the drum breakdown) was pure cheese.

Lets quit talking about that shitty song and talk more about how awesome "In Two" is, which happened to help me win a 5k yesterday

Yeah, "In Two" is my favourite song on the album.

It's a stellar album and 'In Two' feels really timeless. It'll go down as a great NIN song.

The same shit was hurled at Starfuckers Inc. when it surfaced. I think it's OK.

[VinylGuy]

I like Everything. A lot. Yeah the first verse is weird but the whole song is fine.

[harmless]

So much blatant autotune. It's funny.

[Bob Loblaw]

This is quickly climbing up my personal rankings, guys.

[surfndestroy]

So much blatant autotune. It's funny.

Autotune has become like fake breasts, highly enjoyable when done correctly.

This is a really good album. Everything works well in the flow of the album. Looking forward to the tour.

[harmless]

It's all very well put together as a whole, yeah.

Some good stuff, although I feel like I'm getting bored of it quickly.
