NIN:Year Zero debate.

Nine Inch Nails is by far my favorite band. From Pretty Hate Machine to With Teeth. Trent has recently released some information about a new album called Year Zero, due to release in April. Unfortunately, the talk is that it is political. I know that people have a right to say what they want and I know that Trent is fairly liberal. But, if you ask me when it comes to music, political rants just don't appeal.

I thought surely the great Trent Reznor would keep his music simply at good and not go for "I'm gonna try to start a coup" music. I disliked Emotive by APC for it's bashes on government. If I was hanging out with Maynard and he started ranting about the government, I'd just tell him to move to France if he didn't like it.

I know I know, they are standing up for what they believe in... but NIN is my favorite band and I'm a conservative. I just hope he hides his beliefs enough in this album so I don't have to think about them. I really want to like his new album.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ha Ha. I understand his music, I've been listening to it since i was 8. But that's not the point. Usually he has several meanings for everything he says. You can take his words many different ways. But this album is supposedly highly political so I don't know if by saying that they mean that he is blatently bashing America.

P.S.- You don't know me so don't talk shit, and im 20 jerk so don't call me kid.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

...alright then if it's like that. Why so offensive? I was joking with encephalon. I'm serious though, there are many ways to inerpret Reznor's music, you are a bit shallow if you don't agree. Or perhaps you don't listen to his work?

Translation: I can't handle political songs that are in opposition of my own.

(How did you listen to With Teeth then?)

First of all I don't have any political songs (check ur sentence structure).But I can handle them, they are just bittersweet. I will always love his music no matter what it is about, but i just appreciate it slightly less if it is a political rant. With Teeth was admittedly slightly political, but again you could take what he said in different ways. I translated most of his political stuff into personal conflict stuff. I'm not trying to take sides, I'm just saying this from a neutral standpoint. I hope it isn't a rant like the offal that you just posted.

What is wrong with you? Why are you so rude? You don't get along well with others do you? Are you on meds? There are just so many questions I would like to ask you from a medical stand point.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

that's just classic

EDIT: I can see this thread going places.

That was a joke too.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

...very adult of you.

Not all of his stuff is political. In fact most of it isn't. Can you change that back please? It kinda bothers me. It's not that my political views are different. I just like his music and I hope his next album isn't some stupid socialist crap. You are putting words in my mouth. I don't force myself to think anything.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I agree Methe. Unfortunately they don't. Note the brand new avatar and stuff. Mods are control freaks apparently. I'm not saying i won't listen to Year Zero for the 40th Goddamn time!!!!!!! I'm just saying I don't like heavily political shit!!!!

Most amazing jew boots

It was very political, but it wasn't overly specific. The song can be applied to a lot of different things aside from the obvious.

That's what I'm saying. There are different interpretations for everyone. Unless someone is screaming fuck the government. Devo needs to get off my back. Devo... you would be hit where I live for the way you talk to people. Learn some manners. But, since you started it it's fair game. Why are you so angry? Did I fuck your mom or something?

FELIPE NO

True Soluzar, but not all of his music is political. Most of the time even if it is it's just against government in general. Who am i kidding I'll prolly still buy it. It will probably be subtle enough anyway. Plus, that's just what the media thinks anyway(That it's highly and blatently political, noone has even heard it yet,).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

either 23 or 24. im still buying it too. again that whole thinking about the lyrics thing was a joke. read the whole thread before you post russ.

you're essentially dismissing the collective works of John Lennon, Elvis Costello, DEVO, Black Flag, Led Zeppelin, and Depeche Mode.

Yep I pretty much hate them all... except for zeppelin... but especially Black Flag.

One thing that's disappointing to me about George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and all of the other founding fathers is that I can't see why they didn't appreciate the opportunities that they had as Englishmen.

But they didn't have very many opportunities as Englishmen. They were treated as second class citizens and they were taxed on everything. Hence the Revolution and all.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Right, i love APC, i just don't like it when they bitch and moan.
