hoping the EP is a taster for an album coming next year, but i'm hella stoked to hear some new NIN

It doesn't sound like it from his press release. It ended up being an EP because that was "the proper length to tell that story.” :wacko:

And also reissuing The Fragile with a billion bonus tracks. FFS! Pair of losers.

Still this is great news even if it's like three or four songs.

yeah just read that bit after posting. that's a shame as i was definitely expecting/hoping for a full album

the 'unfriendly and impenetrable' bit is interesting

new NIN is good without being spectacular after first few listens - not that much of a move away from what came before it as was hinted at, although one or two songs that go heavier than one might expect from NIN 2016 and it's definitely a bit more raw/distorted than the synth laden NIN of late. more than anything i just hope it means they'll up and tour next year

I really dig it. Heavier and more abrasive than I expected it to be. Sound like Pretty Hate Machine jams.

it sounds like a mish mash of a few of his other albums, which is no bad thing. every once in a while i'll hear a little bit and think 'well that sounded very Broken/The Fragile/etc)

also, i can't remember if they were ever brought up in here (hell i might've even had a conversation about them) but anybody listened to Pinegrove's album this year? been digging it massively this past week

Yeah I only picked it up after seeing them on all the end of year lists and it's very good - could've featured high on mine if I'd heard it earlier. I think I judged them on their band name before so never bothered. :lol:

Saw them play the Brudenell in Leeds earlier this year. They are a good band.

Snuck in a v enjoyable listen of Badbadnotgood's IV yesterday, getting round to mopping up all the albums I've not listened to in the year. Probably give Warpaint a go today after NIN.

    • I would be surprised if they don't, given 2022 was the twentieth I imagine next year is going to be pushed as the 25th anniversary so having the most local big name artist possible headline seems natural. Maybe SFA are being saved for then too?
    • I’d be incredibly surprised if she was in the headline conversation at all. At best I could say a high Pyramid slot but I reckon maybe Other headliner against a rock act like Fender or even Other sub (where I have her in my predictions). I’d say Gracie Abrams is pulling similar if not better numbers to Tate and she was third down on the Other last year.
    • I dont think headliner. Other stage maybe
    • Sophie Williams (journalist and Mercury Prize judge) was on Huw Stephens' roundtable last week, said she'd love to see Overmono headline Green Man. Does feel like it's bound to happen. 2027 is surely on the cards seeing as they're about to release a new album 
    • Cat Power Wilco Whatever combination of Avalon Emerson and Aldous I manage to see Ken Pomeroy Sparks with an honourable mention to Neve Cariad
