The Downward Spiral

From the NIN Hotline:

Release Dates for Nine Inch Nails and Keane
Readers of High Fidelity Review will recall that Universal Music added the albums Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails and Hopes and Fears by Keane to their list of Surround Sound SACDs that would be "Coming Soon" a few weeks back. This week, Universal has moved both of these Surround Sound SACDs from that list to a projected in store available date of November 23, 2004.

· Keane - Hopes and Fears (Interscope)
· Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral (Nothing/Interscope)

Not totally related, but I am excited to hear that NIN is trying to go back to the Downward Spiral era sound. I love the fragile, it's a nice organic, soul-touching set. Yet, I can't wait to hear what kind of evil, twisted sounds Trent and Clouser can come up with, because they are both phenomenal at finding the right complients to any mood.

Charlie is no longer in NIN. He hasn't been for quite some time.

Cool. Both are great albums. Downward Spiral should sound great in Dolby 5.1.

trent could put out 2 hours worth of kazoo solos and we would all still buy it.

I would be first in line.

Have yet to really give NiN a shot, what album should be first for my ears?

Pretty Hate Machine. Might as well start at the beginning. But perhaps you should start with the Fragile. Yes, start with the Fragile.

Pretty much every Skinny Puppy album

hahahaha

Ok, nobody gets mad, I like the Trent guy too

Your lucky you covered your comment. I can get pretty bitchy when people bad mouth my man.

FROM NIN.COM:

yes....but are they planning to actually release closure in the uk officially?

bet not

....and don't think we've forgotten the last weekend!

i would suggest the live album... hmmm.... and all that could have been.

For the cats that like NIN TDS's noise and atmosphere check out Dead Voices on Air. GOOD STUFF!

At first I thought, "wow, someone other than niobe posted this?!" then I noticed you just changed your profile pic.

I'm actually really happy about the re-release.

I ripped all my cds to mp3 (because I have nowhere to keep my cds) and the sound quality of that cd just isn't up to par -- I'm excited.

This is by far the best news for audiophiles since the Dark Side of the Moon SACD!

That Deluxe Edition series is also really cool, mainly because they updated The Who's Live at Leeds with a complete live performace of Tommy.

Now if only Michael Jackson would just die so someone could do the same for all the Beatles albums. For christ's sake, all their CDs still come with instructions on how to "take care of your Compact Disc Harware".

By the way, does anyone in this thread besides me have an SACD compatible player and 5.1 sound system? If not, you simply don't know what you're missing.

lol...i totally would too...my collection just wouldn't be complete w/o it
