Hmmm. I'd call "Survivalism" industrial electro-pop. (It's still better than Marilyn Manson.)
"My Violent Heart" sits on and oft-recycled shuffle beat (originally James Brown's "Funky Drummer"... borrow from the best), fed thru some kind of NIN filter of course. I like this one better; it could drop seamlessly into Downward Spiral.
My bottom line: Club-friendly.
Oops. "an oft-recycled shuffle beat," not and.
could get to like this stuff finn. no idea what theo is saying. good for the earphones while getting root canal work ha ha.
seriously - no' bad.
props 2 u teho, but it's just not workin' for me yet. and the whole conspiracy/coincidence campaign seems too contrived.
makes me pine for the visceral simplicity of Broken.
club-friendly?? interesting. we'll see how it playz out.
Oi Finn.
I can't help but put a bunch of NIN stuff together in kind of a story arc, in my head. "Pretty Hate Machine" felt like the protagonist was in shock, struggling to understand. "Broken" was blind anger & rage (culminating with the "Burn" single from Natural Born Killers). "Downward Spiral" was grief; "The Fragile" was numbness & absence; "With Teeth" was sorta waking back up & returning, and now these new bits (especially "My Violent Heart") is acceptance, like being at peace with one's warrior spirit.
In fact I see a straight line from "Burn" to "MVH": the latter's a matured version of the former, to my ear.
teho, i tot buy into your story arc. in fact, i 'member this post from alt.music.nin way-back-when:
PHM: i hate myself and i want to fuck
Broken: i hate myself and i want to kill
TDS: i hate myself and i want to die
the Fraggle: i hate myself and i want to love *sob*
i loved WT in part because of its message of return & recovery. inspiring on mult levels.
i've a feeling tho that Y0 will be more combative than accepting because i think it's more political than personal.
btw, i never really grooved on "burn" til it appeared on NC1. now it's one of my fave tracks.
LOL! Beaut.
