Yesss, my favorite stuff has been the tracks that really assault you and would put most people in a rather uncomfortable place at first. Those parts seem to fit with the storyline they created better than anything else as well.
Can't decide on a favorite song yet but I really like My Violent Heart and The Great Destroyer.

Nothing Reznor does in the future will ever be as good as "The Fragile"
That album is my most played ever.

The lyrics are nothing to write home about but the music is simply divine.
i have been listening to it since it was leaked by trent on the 4th. i pretty much haven't stopped.
i love that every time i listen to it i pick up some other noises in the songs that i have never heard before
i listened to it today from a stereo that was playing across the room for the first time (i am always listening to it on my computer or my headphones) and i heard some effects and noises and shit i had no idea were there

I have noticed this very much myself.
There is also the point that I just started listening today but still, it is really heavily layered.
I'll certainly have to try that. Right now I have the refrain from Survivalism stuck in my head on repeat so I think I'm just going to go through the entire album again.
I've been listening to this basically nonstop for the last week.
For the first time in a long while, there's an album that works as an album. I can cue up the first track and listen to it start to finish, and even the weaker songs like Beginning of the End work in context.
I haven't cared much for nine inch nails since Downward Spiral, but this is a phenomenal album. Even moreso if you've been following the ARG as obsessively as I have.
Also, the END OF THE FUCKING UNIVERSE breakdown in The Great Destroyer is one of the best things I've heard ever. Crank your speakers as loud as you can and sit directly between them. There are some interesting experiments with phasing around the 2:40 mark. You'll know if you're sitting in the right spot if all of the sudden it sounds as if your speakers have vanished and reappeared behind your head, and are stomping on your brains with giant hobnailed boots.
can you hear the guy saying Red Horse Vector in there?
also the way the tracks work in conjunction with one another is just fuckin fantastic
the massive clusterfuck of noise at the end of The Great Destroyer is made so much better because it is followed by the eerie quiet discomforting depression of Another Version of the Truth, which in turn leads to the realisation of how bad we fucked up the place with In This Twilight, and then the regret and sadness that Zero-Sum instills just makes it fucking beautiful
Got it yesterday, fucking love it.
The Good Soldier is fanfuckingtastic.

Oh holy shit, that was fucking awesome. Probably the best thing they set up for people to interact with yet.
My phone rang in the other room though and I ran over in anticipation almost missing the call. When the monitor changed after saying the password and she started laying all that heavy shit on you it was actually a bit frightening. My computer . . . its tagged.

If anyone wants to hear it I put the link up in the OP. Seems pretty fucking cool so far.
I didn't like the more With Teeth-y bits as much
Can't decide on a favorite song yet but I really like My Violent Heart and The Great Destroyer.
That album is my most played ever.
Oh, and musicwise...damn.
I fucking adore the Greater Good. It's just so excellently weird. And for some reason I like that strummy noise on The Warning.
Sorry. Was talking about "The Fragile"
The Warning is fun.
It's like The Fragile, but more focused and on crack.
thats all I have to say.

The rest can be compared to dicking a chalkboard with a double knife strap-on.
I'd be all like POW POW POW!

For some reason, I just realized where your user name comes from.
Edit: Yeah, that is what I am guessing SA.
3DS: 5241-1953-7031
They even have something set up for when you call them back.
I always suspected that is where he got it from but I was never 100% sure.
Yes. Also...HYPERPOWER! It's a goddamn maelstrom!
