Funny, I see a lot of threads concerning this album lately
I downloaded 4 songs, but I think they're kinda disappointing so far. Still good, but not as good as the previous three big albums.
Man, Reznor really needs to find himself some new lyrics, the 'can't stop me now' and 'peeling off the skin' (sunspots) has been done enough by now. The hand that feeds sounds a bit too common for me, could have been a Jakalope song (but then again, every jakalope song is a potential NiN song, but with very bad female vocals).
Furthermore I've read that this album is not as much as a concept as the previous albums (no instrumental overlaps, but more "12 punches in the face" as Trent likes to call it), something I don't concider to be an improvement as well.
But despite all my whining I still think the album will be quite enjoyable. After all, it IS NiN and it still has something left of that old familiar sound, and something of a new sound as well. And I like All the love in the world a lot as well
BTW, I'm gonna see NiN twice this year, once in Rockin park and once in Rock Werchter.. I'm really looking forward to it
