Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler OT: NIN Album and Concert

There was another NIN thread here a while back, but it is easier to start a new one then dig that up. As NIN fans know, the album comes out 5/3. However, there are now tour dates being released as well. For example, NIN will be in Philly on 5/18 and 5/19. I am planning on going to the 5/19 show. Tickets go on sale soon.

yea, i wanted to see them real bad on this tour, but the closest they are playing to me is in austin on a wednesday night. its just real hard for me to have to miss one, possibly two days of work, and have to get a hotel room/food/gas/etc. and all that, just to see a concert. that would be a hard sell to my wife. but i am sure it will be a fantastic show, trent never disappoints. i even pulled out my 'broken' album this past week and gave it a listen. hadn't listened to it in a couple of years. good stuff.

i was also wanting to see mudvayne on tour this spring/summer, but they dont even have any dates in texas..? whats up with that..? but, rumor mill says that SOAD is supposed to tour this summer, and they always swing thru texas. lets just hope its on a weekend!!

I'm sure there will be more dates coming still. What has been released so far for the US is a pretty small list. It looks like Trent is doing the bunch of cities already posted, then heading to Europe for a while. I'm sure he'll be back to do more of the US later in the year.

Thanks for the heads up. I live in SF so I'm going to try to get tickets to either show at the Warfield.

Anyone heard any of the album yet?

two tracks have leaked to the internet. I have listened to them and am so far unimpressed. Not sure if I'll buy the new album but I'll likely catch the tour.

Trent has posted his thoughts on the songs leaking at his site www.nin.com (click on ACCESS)

there is also a sound clip on the website that doesn't sound particularly appealing.

I hope the album is better and that the two leaked tracks are the two worst ones on the album. I have been a NIN fan for about 13 years.

I'm waiting until it comes out on 5/3 to give it a listen. I'll pass on the leaked tracks and get it in SACD the day it comes out.

Didn't know it was coming out in SACD at the same time.

I'll give it a listen but I'm highly skeptical.

May is far away anyway

That's what I hear anyway...we'll see. I tried to get pre sales tickets today right at 4pm when they went on sale. It was online only and I couldn't get the page to load quick enough...their server was getting pounded. I finally got in and they were sold out. Hopefully I will have better luck with the regular sale on Friday.

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.

What don't you like about them? Too hard, soft, rough sounding, poor quality? Which other album are they most similar to?
