This track is definitely a grower with repeated listens…I’m digging it…
well the first 10 secs I totally hear PHM so I agree with this new song. thumbs up!
I won’t buy this record.

yea it’s weak. sounds exactly like stuff on year zero.

It’s ‘Year Zero’ meets ‘The Slip’ but with the vibe of more oldschool NIN, and better than material on both those albums. Needs repeated listens.
Def sounds like something off Year Zero! But that’s a good thing!! How do some of you not like Year Zero?!?.. fucking beyond me.
It’s a little too electro poppy, but I like that guitar part in there. The new Trent sounds nasally as shit lol, the vocals are the best part though, they’re really good.
The song is bad. Actually ‘weak’ is the best description of it. It’s straight off of ‘The Slip’ which is probably NIN’s worst album (but that was just a free throwaway album so I’m not complaining about that album).
For all the talk about reinvention and getting a fresh kick at it, if it sounds exactly like the stuff he last did?..
I don’t like the use of TDS & FDTS iconography on something as lame as this song.
In fairness I like the music in the chorus but the lyrics (yes, it is NIN) is rug rats NIN.
In saying all of this I think it doesn’t mean the whole album will be shit. But I just wish Trent wouldn’t lie to us and break our angsty adolescent hearts

for me it got old kinda fast, i dont even know what it is, but if i’m in the mood for nin, slip/yearzero is not the alums im gonna put on.
Hmmm, i like it, it’s catchy, maybe a bit long but i think it’s a good song.
OK so I just listened to it on the computer at home. With added bass and more volume the song ain’t so bad. Not great but ok. The chorus is iffy at best. Sounds nothing like old school NIN to these ears.
I do like that wonky synth bit in the middle tho’.
But yeah, Trent Wenty is still a whiny emo turd eater.
I like it. compared to alot of other pop music out there these days, this is really good.
I get a yz vibe, somewhat musically, and def lyrically.
Sounds like something from “Year Zero” or “The Slip”.
Which is fine by me, but it’s hardly the advertised reinvention.

Yeah, he hasn’t exactly come out with the new, improved wheel or anything, has he, hahaha. Still, i enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to the new album a little bit more, can’t wait to see them in August.
I like it. Since WT I don’t get too excited about NIN’s first singles because they’re usually the weakest track on the album. This is decent. Nothing mind blowing but I still like it.
As far as him reinventing the “NIN sound”. The band has been around since the late 80’s and has released a shit-load of music. What could he possibly put out that doesn’t tread some of the same ground of his previous work? A folk album? Fuck that.
Bothered with the radio edit first, which shaves over a minute off the full 5:17 of the now available iTunes download. Gave me a bad first impression. I think with Reznor engineering is often = or > songs. Now hearing the song with the right clarity and a new subwoofer.
The beat is more dynamic than first appears. It doesn’t obstruct and coalesces nicely into the synth bass and creates a lush sexiness that sounds fairly new in the NIN oeuvre. I’m a fan who likes the oft criticized dancey singles (“Only”, “Discipline”, “The Hand That Feeds”). The rhythms in those sound blockheaded in comparison.
Some excellent sounds used throughout. None of them are very new, some are callbacks to past eras. I like how they all work together. There’s a bass in the last minute that’s straight vintage “The Only Time”.
Wish the chorus refrain wasn’t so repetitive. The synth pads and chord changes during these bars are the emotional weight of a song not rife with it. Trent hardly shuts up on this song. Remixes will remedy this. Brings me to my next point:
This is still a single. The lyrics come across a bit trite, and on further listens hearing these tired sentiments from the man doesn’t bother me. Maybe the rest of Hesitation Marks will be ingenious takes on the reflective side of NIN. That’s what I hope for. Or it will be thirteen more tracks of familiar sounds with Reznor intoning vague emotions over them.
I don’t get where all the Pretty Hate Machine comparisons are coming from, all over soundcloud, youtube. I don’t hear a lick of PHM. Maybe a tiny incy bit of a ‘Down In It’ type of vibe in there, but not really.

I think maybe something in the extended version?

Maybe it’s just the vibe or feel of it. I could totally hear that song making the cut and fitting right in on PHM.

No way. It would be out of place on PHM.
boring. chorus sounds like lazy pop song.
Sounds like a single. Usually, when it comes to NIN singles, they might not fully sink in until you hear it with the rest of the album… Currently, it isn’t clicking with me.
