new nin album concept thing-um-a-roll

i'm sitting here listening to the new album, and for some, tilted head reason, i don't see the concept, beyond it sounding like an way old nin album . . . which isn't necessarily a good thing. sort of a slow and draggy attempt when one has nothing else to do.

I have not heard much about the actual music but the internet scavenger hunt Trent pu together seems to be getting a bunch of media attention.

aol has a album listening page where you can listen to it for free. plus they have the anvil listerine album, too.

I really dig the new album

NYT's take: relatively interesting music, but the concept is kinda passe

i'd say relatively uninteresting music and concept.
