no shit, right... i finished up the physical version of the album over the weekend, but it's no $300... i don't even know if it's for sale at all... there's only 100 of them instead of 2500 - guess that makes them worth more?

i had to laugh though- my album has a real desert thing going on with it. lots of treated photos from the last time i was out in palm springs, all dry and dusty and cactus-y. i crack open the pdf that came with the new nin album this morning - homeboy is all desert style as well. i got a feeling, somebody's watchin me....

The same thing for any number of bands if the package was cool.


i can't think of a single band i would pay $300 for an album by. seriously. and there are some bands that i love. that just seems like an insane amount of money for a record.

The money is going to the band and I want them to continue so it wouldn't bother me that much

i think this is the only good reason i have ever heard to spend a lot on a record. the thing is, trent resnor doesn't need your money and the bands get nothing from old records sold on ebay for insane money. what did that bottomless pit record cost? $20 or something. i was happy to pay that. double album, great packaging, great music. if it had been $300 i would not own it. somebody paid like $850 for a copy of the friends of shellac record on ebay a while back. that is crazy. it is a good record but $850! with that money i could buy like 100 records i want and still have money left over for a fancy diner. i'll stop rambling now.

no way.

i know some 30 yr olds that love NIN too but they love TR more. no vocals isn't going to appeal to them.


I loved TR because I thought he was a musical genius. My favorite album by NIN (and the last NIN album I bought, I thankfully stopped caring about them over the hiatus) was Still, which only had 2 or 3 vocal tracks on it.

Here's a funny story about instrumental NIN. My favorite song by them/him was an instrumental called "at the heart of it all" which was on one of the remix CDs. I must have listened to this album about 2 or 3 times a day for several months. I was infatuated with it and I had never heard anything like it.

Anyway, I found out a few years later (after I was no longer into NIN) that this track was a remix by Aphex Twin. It was one of those "Remixes for Cash" he did where a label asked him for a remix of their song and he sent them whatever he was working on at the time. RDJ had never even heard the NIN album.


my fav nin track is probably the instrumental "adrift and at peace" on still. so gorgeous.

this new instrumental album is just so-so so far. reznor really hit an instrumental peak around the fragile/still.
