Nine Inch Nails - LESS THAN - New EP out July 21st! - General

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDV-dOvqKzQ[/media] fuck that's some retro texture to the track. Anyway, apparently Not The Actual Events was slated to be part of a trilogy of EPs, which combine to a full album. I wonder if episode 3 will ever release? :v: Jokes aside, I'm actually more surprised that more videogamey stuff hasn't appeared in Trent's music before this track. He made the Quake soundtrack and has played video games all his life. Also, the new EP's name is ADD VIOLENCE and will be out July 21st! [editline]15th July 2017[/editline] Also, apparently Trent messaged Jeff Minter to create the game seen in the video, which is based off of an urban legend. Hence the glassy eyes of the girl as the video goes along. [url]https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/07/trent-reznors-cold-call-led-to-an-awesome-game-filled-nine-inch-nails-video/[/url]

I really wanna enjoy this track, but crikey it sounds so incredibly muffled and overcompressed.

Or are you talking about the various audio effects that pop in on Trent's voice and the resonator sounds? That's normal in industrial tracks and is one of Trent's many hallmarks.

That's normal for NIN :v: Though it's not on every track, the album usually goes up and down depending on the placement of the tracks. [editline]15th July 2017[/editline] Actually, looking at the audiograph of the track it doesn't peak [i]anywhere[/i]. Though, it is just a block of sound with a few dips. If you hate this, then you'll [i]despise[/i] Fuck Buttons or, especially, Blank Mass: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXRJ3V7kFL4[/media] I fucking love this

bassline sounds a lot like the one from Echoplex

[QUOTE=Cone;52471029]bassline sounds a lot like the one from Echoplex[/QUOTE] Trent tends to cannibalize old tracks into new tracks so i wouldn't be surprised if it actually is [editline]15th July 2017[/editline] Ive liked stuff from these EPs so far more than hesitation marks which i wasnt a fan of

It actually does quite a bit, the kick is ALOT clearer and parts of it are actually listenable now. The second half is still pretty noisy and messy, but I guess there's only so much you can save with EQ.
