Track X Track First Listen: Nine Inch Nails “Not The Actual
Events” EP @nineinchnails— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
01 “Branches/Bones”
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
01 Is this Joy Division? Lots of droning guitars
and reverb. Simple 808 style drums. Short track under 2 minutes. #NineInchNails— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
02 “Dear World”
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
02 Spoken word verses buried beneath pulsing
music. Is that Atticus, or Trent pitched down? Clearly Trent on the chorus. #NineInchNails— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
02 Reminds me of “Copy of A” mixed with “Fine
Time” by New Order #NineInchNails— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
03 “She’s Gone Away”
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
03 Ambient noises into stomping arena drums and
droning guitar. Sounds like a “Downward Spiral” b-side. #NineInchNails— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
03 I’m getting a Bauhaus vibe on this song. Is
Atticus singing with Trent on the chorus? #NineInchNails— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
04 “The Idea of You”
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
04 Shouting chorus feels like something from “Broken.”
Lots of aggression. #headbanger #NineInchNails— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
04 Melody near the end recycled from multiple
NIN songs of the past, such as “Closer.” #NineInchNails— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
05 “Burning Bright (Field On Fire)”
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
05 The spoken vocal theme continues. What's he ranting about? #NineInchNails
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
05 Sounds like the later half of Pink Floyd “Waiting For The Worms” on “The Wall” #NineInchNails
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) December 22, 2016
05 Guitar licks at the end reminiscent of “Mr. Self Destruct” #NineInchNails
