there is a third leaked track, Getting Smaller. It's even worst than the other two.

i hope this is all some kind of a joke.


Haven't heard them, but Trent is pissed off about the tracks leaking because they're not at CD quality and therefore, not the kind of first impression he'd want to make. So the tracks aren't fake.

Anyway, are you surprised? His last real new song that I can recall was the abysmal "Deep" from the Tomb Raider soundtrack. Sounded exactly like a man out of ideas.

These tracks are about as good as 'Deep'.

Zarak, they are essentially pop rock. It's not the fact that they are somewhat upbeat that bothers me. I listen to a lot of music that has a good, upbeat sound to it. It's the sound that is just pop, boring, and the lyrics are quite bad as well.

I'm generally like a kid in a candy store when a new NIN track comes out, but this time, just as with Deep, I am very turned off. I don't listen to them except when I feel like laughing at them or try again to understand what the heck Trent is trying to accomplish.

Two of the three leaks are CD quality rips, one is off the radio. if you want them, email me at:

trent's hayday seems to be over. nothing lasts forever.

Well....tickets sold out in minutes all across the east and central time zones. I was on right at 5 when they went onsale and couldn't even get one ticket. I'm not that excited about paying a ticket agency about $150 for a ticket when they were on sale for $30 today. If I knew for sure that NIN would be back in philly later in the tour I would just wait. Unfortunately, all dates haven't been posted. Someone really needs to invent away to get scalpers and agencies from buying up all the tickets.

damn that's bad
and you know the scalpers are going to sell them for $150 a pop.
are there any cities nearby they are playing at you can just drive to? they must be playing in DC or baltimore, or NYC.

have you ever seen them before? it's an absolute treat. the are the best live band i have ever seen. i saw them on the fragility 2.0 tour. best show of my life.

Every show in the East and Central time zone sold out in minutes. I have never seen them and they would be the band I would most want to see out of any band that is currently active. I've gotta try to dig up a ticket somewhere. I don't even care if I am going by myself.

Tried to get NYC tickets, no go. But then, I have to admit my enthusiasm is waning for this.

Despite the fact that I'd like to see them again, I am almost releived that they are not coming to Montreal (I don;t know why they aren't, they sold out their last show). The reason being that IF those leaked tracks are real, I don't feel like seeing / hearing them played live. They'd kind of ruin the concert experience for me.

I'll wait till the album comes out to pass my final judgement, but I wouldn't be pissed if they skipped my town this year.
I can always buy the DVD when it comes out

I've heard (the first?) two songs and I have to say they aren't THAT bad. "the line begins to blur" is actually pretty sweet IMO. I really can't think of anything Trent has done that I thought was terrible.

Getting Smaller sounds like a bad rip off og Burn

The end of The Hand That Feeds is really cheesy

The Line Begins to Blur is boring and gets on my nerves. It doens't make me wanna listen to it.

This is, of course, my own personal taste.

I'm sure these leaks may not be final versions and it will sound better on the CD when it's out.

time wil tell
