Here the caustics of acid house met the dark sax of Lost Highway... and they all made friends. Listeners are still trying to make sense. Sense, or sensory, or nonsensical... I'm just loving it!
I have so much respect for how willing he is to take creative risks. I think the later half of his career is a lot like Bowie’s in that he was done with simply making rock and instead of retiring decided to do whatever he wanted. I’ll always be a fan.
i like how, unlike most bands, trent keeps coming up with music worth listening to instead of most who keep making albums, trying to keep their "old" musical spirit alive. trent and nin are just fucking eternal.
It almost seems as if some people would prefer Trent had stayed a suicidal junkie and repeatedly made one Downward Spiral after another. Don't get me wrong I love those albums but I love this new stuff too and I'm glad my favorite musician has a family and is happy and doing what he wants to do
He admitted he was thinking about killing himself when he was writing the Fragile and he certainly had some kind of drug problem back then though I'm not sure exactly what drug he was on. As for the blandness? well that's like your opinion man.
Truedag101 He doesn’t have to be a suicidal junkie to add heavy riffs to his albums. I think he purposely chose to go a different route regardless of his personal situations
This wasn't really a change of direction as much as a watering down of what he's done before. Same stuff, stripped down to seem more "minimalist" but it - at least to me - just seems lesser, or lazier. Or both. Maybe if he was still a suicidal junkie he'd give less of a fuck about being "experimental" and just be hard hitting and high impact. You can change styles radically and style retain your bite (ref. Marilyn Manson & the difference between Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Holy Wood, all of which were stylistically and symbolically different, and all of which had some serious fucking kick to them that's recognized, for each individually, to this day). Trent lost his bite. He's not saying anything, or at least not anything identifiably meaningful to me. Respect to those who disagree but I gotta tell you (as a long time NIN fan who likes almost all of his newer stuff as well as all of his older stuff): I find this to be a boring song. (I just re-listened to it to make sure my initial reaction wasn't off base, and yeah, I kind of doubt this one will grow on me, it's repetative and meaningless, other than the ambience being derivative (not reminiscent, derivative) of some of Bowie's last songs and how close he got to that really feels more like ripping off than giving tribute, but whatever, that's just what I think, I'm sure plenty of other people like this song, just as I'm sure I'll inevitably like most of the tracks off of this new NIN album, but yeah, not impressed).
Also, I might like this more in the context of the entire album so, my judgement on this track as a stand alone might be different than what I think about it in the overall scheme of the track list, so, I guess we'll see how it fits in after it's released. I'm hoping the other tracks can carry, or build on, or add to this one somehow.
He really gave me a new appreciation for the sax. It occupies a sonic space that is both low and high, and just really dominant. It is the acid bass before there was acid bass... then he had to go and add acid bass... shit is next-level!

feu I enjoy the choices made by Reznor and company from a production standpoint. From the frenzied drumming and atmospheric saxophone to the urgent arpeggiated synths and hollow vocals, it appears that Reznor sought to pay homage to and develop the ideas that Bowie and Tony Visconti presented on 'Blackstar', and also earlier albums like '1. Outside' with Brian Eno. Better?
Y'know, this has way too many dislikes. People, just because Trent stopped using heavy guitars in his songs doesn't mean y'all have to hate it, this shit (as well as all the other recent NIN stuff) fuckin slaps just as much as the older stuff. Be glad he still knows how to make banger music consistently.
This is Trent's goodbye letter to David Bowie. You can hear it even iota of this song. from the vocals to the break beats and sax. I cry when I hear this.
I like the fact that Trent just picked up a saxophone and started going all Twin Peaks and Atticus was like "WTF?!" and rushed to do his best to arrange the madness.
i cannot for the life of me comprehend how anyone can consider this “minimal”. like there’s so much more going on in this song than in the vast majority of his other work.
I think by "minimal" they mean more linear , there is less break like between a verse and a chorus like in older nin songs . Maybe its by definition less pop than other nin songs , the structure at least is less pop . Personnaly i like both approch . ps : sorry for my english
Trent channeling Bowie HARD!!! He never ever sang with this long slow vibrato at the end of the phrases, that's like Bowie's signature right there lol I'm digging this
Bad witch is a David bowie album preformed by nine inch nails. The best tribute they could conjure. I didn't like this ep at first but by God, it's become a favorite in the past few months.
Who made you the critic?😂😂😂 yes trent is influenced by Bowie, but his music is 100% original 🤗 and much of bad 🧙 sound exactly NOTHING like Bowie!!!😂😂😂😂 try Peter Murphy on God Break down the door. His vocals are heavily influenced by Peter more than anyone!
It's absolutely paying homage to David Bowie's Blackstar, or at the very least David Bowie as an artist. He's been a life-long fan, and did a cover tribute at a concert after his death that you can find on TH-cam. Here, Trent even attempts to sing in a style that really does beg to be familiarised with Bowie. It's sad but beautiful knowing that, even two years on, major artists are still hurting from his passing.
As often with initially repellent music. I'm claiming a similarity with St Vincent's noise pop work of circa 2013. I disliked it at first but now I like it just as much as her mainstream stuff.
You know in movies when they are portraying some dystopian future and they go in a club with tons of chicks dancing in weird cages hanging from the ceiling? This is the song they're dancing to. Oh and then the club explodes when a badass comes charging through.
Trent There are still some people who sit and listen to music without five different things going on in the background There are still people who care and are still paying attention Please don't go away
I can relate to these EP’s more then ever! I feel all the dirt and grit slide off my soul as it cleanses me and brings what feelings that are buried and silent to light. THROW IT AWAY!!!!!!!
It’s sick how he still has so much inspiration for creating music. After all these years Trent’s still creating epic tracks. Maybe not that good albums as The Downward Spiral and The Fragile, but he hasn’t gone to mainstream. I love how he’s still doing his own thing and not what’s selling the most. /// Happy birthday Trent!
KaRa I really appreciate that about Trent. He’s got such integrity for his music. Not to say that mainstream is bad in any way. I just think that it is not the right direction for NIN. Trent knows What is best for NIN & sticks to it. He leads by his own vision of the band and nothing more. Gotta respect and love that.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! And it fits, that was when they were collaborating heavily, so fuse recent Bowie influence with their original colab influence, and voila, God Break Down The Door.
Robert Montoya you just hit the nail on the head my friend! Trent actually dug out his old saxophone to play it for this track. Prior to this recording the last time he'd played sax was on "Driver Down" from the lost Highway Soundtrack. 👌
Kinda sounds "Bowie-ish" in the beginning with the saxophone and quiet, spoken vocals...but then the recognizing chaotic order of noise from the one and only Nine Inch Nails prevails. Awesome track T-Rez!!! U r a genius and giant in the Music Industry...been goin strong since the 80's wih Nails. I started listening to Nails since 93/94 and have been a devoted fanatic ever since the first time I listened to Pretty Hate Machine...been hooked like a junkie lol...Keep up the great work u and the bandmates create, your such a great musician to look upto in the industry, it would b nice to have more like u, but we have u!!! Thats all that matter!!,
Diggin' it! I have always enjoyed bands that will switch up their style from album to album. Trent has never disappointed in achieving that. I play sax/jazz most of my life so I was glad to hear Trent on the sax midway through the song, I liked what he did there musically.
I love the warbly sequence with the plaintive saxophones and speed-jazz drums. A few days ago, the singing style sounded like a dramatic departure; but now, it hardly sounds different.
I saw. I clicked. I listened. I blinked a few times. I considered clicking away without a comment but no, I will just say that I'm glad you are still releasing new things. Please update soon. That's as supportive and as encouraging, as I can be, right now. ~FM :)
Honestly love it, trent has always been so creative with his music but this shows alot of that originality that original fans should have been waiting for
Originally I couldn't see anything in it but then the originality you mention kind of sprung out so I guess I'm originally not an original fan even though I'm a non-original fan of the originality?
I disagree that it's original. It sounds like a bad impression of David Bowie to me, and the rest of the EP is the same, along with recycled synths and sounds from previous records. I wouldn't say it's bad, but I wouldn't say it's good, or that it's original.
To clarify, when I say recycled synths, I mean, he has used the same synthesizers and presets on his own previous records, so it doesn't even sound that new to me.
Great song. The only thing is that it requires numerous listens to fully appreciate. It's brave of NIN to go in this direction and create music that really takes time to get into, since most people won't listen that many times and think the song doesn't make sense. Anyway I listened yesterday and today morning while getting ready for work it was on repeat and giving me strength, love the atmosphere and mood it creates.
“God Break Down the Door” is probably the most memorable/interesting single/teaser song NIN put out in a decade. Even if the the last EPs' have some good songs, they didn't make me wanna go back.. I’m tired of that electro / piano Trent Reznor song style. He’s been pulling a KMFDM and just whipping stuff out for fun. This is great.
The more I listen to this, it reminds me of the "Memorabilia" & "I'm Afraid Of Americans" era but mashed up together...very interesting, especially the jazz influences in it with the saxophone. Very Bowie-esque "I'm Deranged"/Lost Highway-ish.
nEdra gUnn Ironically, a lot of songs on his last EPs including this song reminds me of memorabilia and I don’t know if that’s a good thing. I was expecting something different
The thing that's wrong with this song is that it reminds you of many other songs, not the other way around. Kind of an identity crisis. The best example of inversed situation is The Big Comedown - a masterpiece that doesn't sound like anything else, yet it's so musical.
I have and always will be spoken to when I listen to NIN. Thank you Trent, for your albums being the friends that I can't find anywhere else, in the dark times and the good times alike
I seen em in 1996 and been a fan ever since, I loved the industrial rock phase, but think it's fecking brilliant he doesn't keep churning out the same old stuff! Love the new album.
God break down the door God break down the door You won't find the answers here Not the ones you came looking for God break the door Everything all at once There aren't any answers here No, no, not anymore God break down the door God break down the door You won't find the answers here Not the ones you came looking for God break the door Everything all at once There aren't any answers here No, no, no, no Remove the pain and push it back in
Hidden Lyrics : We are a treacherous people As night falls down again In this house of dust The shades are drawn in All of the thousands of rooms We sleep hypnotized from the center Yes in this new place we call home Is there anybody but you sitting in the dark Wondering if you'll remove my skin Not so different after all Remove the pain or push it back in Maybe not so different after all That kind of thing just doesn’t happen here I didn’t think that could happen around here I didn’t think that could happen to me Can you see what is happening Pull it out, and push it back see, I’m not from this world not anymore Not me and i’ve come to believe that’s OK I know who i am yes, I believe i am sleeping after all
I love all of Trent's work, new and old. But honestly, I love his newer releases, more experimental and different, not the repetitive, drug-induced Downward Spiral writing. It's new, it's interesting. Trent never fails to amaze me :)
this song is brilliant. I’m not just saying that as a “die-hard” fan. Trent has created amazing fuckin art for the last 30 years, and each new offering is a new angle of his artistic perspective. He’s still dark, still brooding, still makes things weird. That’s all I want from him and he doesn’t disappoint. Jesus shit I hope I can make it to this tour
I find it funny how so many people think the song sounds basic. I was floored the first time I heard it, and I'm not usually big on NIN. I've been listening to the album on repeat since it released tonight, and I absolutely love it. It's gonna be the first album I play nonstop for months since Björk's Utopia... Anyways, this album will make me try again with NIN
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SO MUCH. i can't understand the 1,250 dislikes HONESTLY..... what the fuck is wrong with your taste in music and your brain? this is ....... beyond cool and awesome.
I love how most people hate this song. I love how most people hate jazz. And I also love how most people won't understand how the first two are related.
Trent doesn't give AF any more, and that is good. I'd rather he try new sounds than just keep repeating the same thing and becoming a self-parody. I like this minimal stuff. It's cool.
memespace I agree and this song is growing on me after getting all of my bitching out of my system. But this is way too much electronics for me. It’s getting hard for me to adjust
Okay, this may sound weird. But I use NIN as inspiration for my D&D campaign. Like I use there music to create a calm, unease, and even to jostler sadness out of my players.
Non-Entity I love the Outside album. Crazy... was just listening to it the other morning. Got to see them play live together way back. The good ol' days.
*RICHARD PATrick!* _CAN YOUUU TAKE MY PICTURE? 'CUZ I CAN'T WRITE SHIT THESE DAYS?_ IDK what I'm on about. Nothing against Rich. He was great as the T-1000 in that film with the dog.
I LOVE NINE INCH NAILS!!! In any form this will always be the best for anything and everything is and could be. Trent Reznor is way ahead of our time and will always be one of our greatest musical phenoms that's ever blessed our ears. Didn't Trent say that "this will be nothing like you ever heard"??? I would agree if so.
You just wait. This song will fit in perfectly with the other songs on the album. This is a different NIN, affirmative. There's no reason to just spew hatred with all these knee-jerk reactions. Absolutely respect your opinion if it doesn't grow on you.
I like it. This song seems like just one piece of a larger puzzle, and I am keen to listen to the album from start to finish to find out how those pieces all fit together.
Trent - I Miss Bowie.
Atticus Gives Trent The Sax.
Atticus - Go Nuts.
Haha good point!
that's pretty much it
@Eddie Koda Does it make you feel better?
Here the caustics of acid house met the dark sax of Lost Highway... and they all made friends. Listeners are still trying to make sense.
Sense, or sensory, or nonsensical... I'm just loving it!
I have so much respect for how willing he is to take creative risks. I think the later half of his career is a lot like Bowie’s in that he was done with simply making rock and instead of retiring decided to do whatever he wanted. I’ll always be a fan.
If you're not taking creative risks as an artist... (Que Robin Williams / Randy Marsh voice): fuckyooouuu!(?)
This song is so 1. Outside
Tapped in right?👀
YOU really hit the nail on the head with your comment, it's timeless. (As is your name... Dude! 💕 )
Rock)Industrial/ post-genra even. Absolutely agree
i like how, unlike most bands, trent keeps coming up with music worth listening to instead of most who keep making albums, trying to keep their "old" musical spirit alive. trent and nin are just fucking eternal.
I love that when new NIN comes out, I never know what it will sound like, I never expect anything, I just observe and appreciate it for what it is.
That's how every song of every genre should be seen as
That's why i love this band !
Fisto Roboto A great way to live.
Thank you..couldn't have said it more succinct than that, myself...
😂
It almost seems as if some people would prefer Trent had stayed a suicidal junkie and repeatedly made one Downward Spiral after another.
Don't get me wrong I love those albums but I love this new stuff too and I'm glad my favorite musician has a family and is happy and doing what he wants to do
He admitted he was thinking about killing himself when he was writing the Fragile and he certainly had some kind of drug problem back then though I'm not sure exactly what drug he was on.
As for the blandness? well that's like your opinion man.
Truedag101 He doesn’t have to be a suicidal junkie to add heavy riffs to his albums. I think he purposely chose to go a different route regardless of his personal situations
This wasn't really a change of direction as much as a watering down of what he's done before. Same stuff, stripped down to seem more "minimalist" but it - at least to me - just seems lesser, or lazier. Or both.
Maybe if he was still a suicidal junkie he'd give less of a fuck about being "experimental" and just be hard hitting and high impact. You can change styles radically and style retain your bite (ref. Marilyn Manson & the difference between Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Holy Wood, all of which were stylistically and symbolically different, and all of which had some serious fucking kick to them that's recognized, for each individually, to this day). Trent lost his bite. He's not saying anything, or at least not anything identifiably meaningful to me. Respect to those who disagree but I gotta tell you (as a long time NIN fan who likes almost all of his newer stuff as well as all of his older stuff): I find this to be a boring song.
(I just re-listened to it to make sure my initial reaction wasn't off base, and yeah, I kind of doubt this one will grow on me, it's repetative and meaningless, other than the ambience being derivative (not reminiscent, derivative) of some of Bowie's last songs and how close he got to that really feels more like ripping off than giving tribute, but whatever, that's just what I think, I'm sure plenty of other people like this song, just as I'm sure I'll inevitably like most of the tracks off of this new NIN album, but yeah, not impressed).
Also, I might like this more in the context of the entire album so, my judgement on this track as a stand alone might be different than what I think about it in the overall scheme of the track list, so, I guess we'll see how it fits in after it's released. I'm hoping the other tracks can carry, or build on, or add to this one somehow.
An artist like him that doesn't want to repeat himself eternally is a blessing... enjoy that guys and stop the bullshit
Sax is the best part of this song. It gives a trippier feel to the urgent drums and makes the synths sound so much more disturbing.
He really gave me a new appreciation for the sax. It occupies a sonic space that is both low and high, and just really dominant.
It is the acid bass before there was acid bass... then he had to go and add acid bass... shit is next-level!
I read that as "sex." Totally different vibes if that was the case lol
I love this song. 🎧 🎵 🎶
if you listen closely there's a really haunting staccato in the background

Love the Blackstar/Outside vibe in this, he's always shown a huge respect for Bowie so it's great to see him take his music in this direction
feu I enjoy the choices made by Reznor and company from a production standpoint. From the frenzied drumming and atmospheric saxophone to the urgent arpeggiated synths and hollow vocals, it appears that Reznor sought to pay homage to and develop the ideas that Bowie and Tony Visconti presented on 'Blackstar', and also earlier albums like '1.

i cannot for the life of me comprehend how anyone can consider this “minimal”. like there’s so much more going on in this song than in the vast majority of his other work.
They don't know how to say "hurrr durrr, no heavy guitars means it's not good!" ;)
I think by "minimal" they mean more linear , there is less break like between a verse and a chorus like in older nin songs . Maybe its by definition less pop than other nin songs , the structure at least is less pop . Personnaly i like both approch . ps : sorry for my english
No.
trent literally cannot do minimal. point out a single nin track that is minimal lol
Raviioli I’d have to say “Hurt”
Trent channeling Bowie HARD!!! He never ever sang with this long slow vibrato at the end of the phrases, that's like Bowie's signature right there lol I'm digging this
Fantastic. Old Trent, New Trent---I'll take both. Thank you for the input, Atticus (and the influence, David).
RIP Major Tom

@@ginamesh8312who made you the critic?
Listenning to a new NIN song is always such a feeling !
This is the most not-Bowie-but-Bowie thing I've ever heard.
Was my first thought, I legit thought it WAS Bowie for awhile.
Andy Smith I miss the Reznor scream. I wonder if he blew his voice out years ago. Manson did and he sounds like shit now
Magpiestripe sounds like it would have almost fit as a b-side on Earthling. Glad I'm not the only one who thought so.
Totally! Reminded me a lot of stuff off Black Star. I wonder if this was a style-love-note-send-off thingy.
It's absolutely paying homage to David Bowie's Blackstar, or at the very least David Bowie as an artist. He's been a life-long fan, and did a cover tribute at a concert after his death that you can find on TH-cam.

You know in movies when they are portraying some dystopian future and they go in a club with tons of chicks dancing in weird cages hanging from the ceiling? This is the song they're dancing to. Oh and then the club explodes when a badass comes charging through.
Nauga my thoughts exactly
Hahaha hit the nail right on the head with the scenario.
spot on.
Nauga The way you described it kinda reminds me of that animated movie from Batman Beyond. Batman Beyond Return of the Joker. Except nobody is dead
Nauga Oh god why did you do this to me? Thats one of the most annoying and shitty cliches but I can totally see one of those trash films doing this.
Nothing better than hearing a NIN song for the very first time 🙏🙌😵😭😭
Yeah... I can't wait to actually hear a NIN song, again.
God yes! And I remember every first time like it was yesterday
Dan Harvell you press the triangular play button to play the song above, silly
THE GREATEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME!! THANK YOU SO MUCH TRENT REZNOR AND ATTICUS ROSS FOR ANOTHER GREAT TRACK. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM ON JUNE 22ND!!
David Holden
he and Gary Numan are the Greatest Artists :)
VERY reminiscent of Bowie's abstract '90s pseudo-industrial art/rock, with a little of the late '90s D&B. I like it.
"abstract '90s pseudo-industrial art/rock, with a little of the late '90s D&B" Woah! that's a lot of adjectives bro.
Kinda reminds me of the Black Star album with the sax
Over And Out even sounds more Bowie
If you're referring to the Outside album by Bowie, you're spot on. I can definitely hear it.
That drum beat screams early 90s Chemical Brothers too, very crunchy and busy sounding
Trent
There are still some people who sit and listen to music without five different things going on in the background
There are still people who care and are still paying attention
Please don't go away

KaRa it's just as good, you'll understand when you're old.
KaRa I really appreciate that about Trent. He’s got such integrity for his music. Not to say that mainstream is bad in any way. I just think that it is not the right direction for NIN. Trent knows What is best for NIN & sticks to it. He leads by his own vision of the band and nothing more. Gotta respect and love that.
Rick Falconer yeah lots of integrity when a song sounds like David Bowie and Radiohead with no effort to sound like anything else... NIN? Naaa...
Jano L lol sounds like you heard something else other than this song...
and....he was toilet cleaner before...that fucking amazing.
This sounds like it was lifted straight from the Lost Highway soundtrack.
Rust T Deftones!
Just what I thought! Like a mix of the lot of the soundtrack.
Deftones! Can't wait. New album!
Rust T agreed, it's great
I'm Deranged for sure man.
Can't wait for June 22! Long live NIN ❤
are they releasing something new?
Third EP of the trilogy on June 22 :)
Artzy They are calling it an album.... which doesn't make sense. It has 6 songs
myuu I can't wait for June 24th !
It's mediocre at best. Sounds unfinished and too gimmicky.
I'm getting Perfect Drug vibes with those crazy drums! SO PSYCHED
I'm glad I'm not the only one! And it fits, that was when they were collaborating heavily, so fuse recent Bowie influence with their original colab influence, and voila, God Break Down The Door.
It has that Lost Highway feel.
same here
We've met before, haven't we?
I thought the very same thing, man. This song just oozes David Lynch.
Robert Montoya you just hit the nail on the head my friend! Trent actually dug out his old saxophone to play it for this track. Prior to this recording the last time he'd played sax was on "Driver Down" from the lost Highway Soundtrack. 👌
Also muhallond drive
'Tis A Pity She Was A Nine Inch Nails
abbadon56 that’s what I thought! Something from a Radiohead or the last Bowie album!
Glad someone else noticed that
Spot on.
My first thoughts as well.
Exactly. BOWIE all the way.
Kinda sounds "Bowie-ish" in the beginning with the saxophone and quiet, spoken vocals...but then the recognizing chaotic order of noise from the one and only Nine Inch Nails prevails.
Awesome track T-Rez!!! U r a genius and giant in the Music Industry...been goin strong since the 80's wih Nails. I started listening to Nails since 93/94 and have been a devoted fanatic ever since the first time I listened to Pretty Hate Machine...been hooked like a junkie lol...Keep up the great work u and the bandmates create, your such a great musician to look upto in the industry, it would b nice to have more like u, but we have u!!! Thats all that matter!!,
God that was beautiful. So happy to be a long time fan of NIN and Trent's fantastic work!
The sound just evolves, like Trent doesn't even need God to open the door. He's such a gift !! Rock on
he *is* the door
Diggin' it! I have always enjoyed bands that will switch up their style from album to album. Trent has never disappointed in achieving that. I play sax/jazz most of my life so I was glad to hear Trent on the sax midway through the song, I liked what he did there musically.
I can smell David Bowie here...
I almost thought Peter Murphy was singing at the start.
The Bowie influence is fucking fantastic!
Absolutely agree! I was about to say the same thing.
Trent and David were good friends, did you know they collaborated on a song together in the 90s?
P Y R O T E C H N I C K く苛流
Not only one song. There‘s a whole live performance album, which is pretty awesome.
Great song from my favorite artist. Thank you Trent!
I love the warbly sequence with the plaintive saxophones and speed-jazz drums. A few days ago, the singing style sounded like a dramatic departure; but now, it hardly sounds different.
this man has evolved right along with us ... in all ways we are connected now ... throughout friggin eternity ... thats what im talkin' bout ....💙
NIN cannot put out bad music, always innovating, always entertaining. Love it!
A little surprise sax in the morning is nice.
Igot NoToes nothing like sax in the morning
I saw. I clicked. I listened. I blinked a few times. I considered clicking away without a comment but no, I will just say that I'm glad you are still releasing new things. Please update soon. That's as supportive and as encouraging, as I can be, right now.
~FM :)
Honestly love it, trent has always been so creative with his music but this shows alot of that originality that original fans should have been waiting for
Originally I couldn't see anything in it but then the originality you mention kind of sprung out so I guess I'm originally not an original fan even though I'm a non-original fan of the originality?
I disagree that it's original. It sounds like a bad impression of David Bowie to me, and the rest of the EP is the same, along with recycled synths and sounds from previous records. I wouldn't say it's bad, but I wouldn't say it's good, or that it's original.
Pork Woofles i get your point....but I feel the bowie sound and "recycled synth and sounds" nothing more than influence ....
To clarify, when I say recycled synths, I mean, he has used the same synthesizers and presets on his own previous records, so it doesn't even sound that new to me.
This definitely sounds like a die-hard song. I'm glad to see you Nine Inch Nails going in that wild of a Direction every so often.
Great song. The only thing is that it requires numerous listens to fully appreciate. It's brave of NIN to go in this direction and create music that really takes time to get into, since most people won't listen that many times and think the song doesn't make sense. Anyway I listened yesterday and today morning while getting ready for work it was on repeat and giving me strength, love the atmosphere and mood it creates.
I really dig this song. Very very trippy for me. And so different in a good way. Close your eyes and sit back and relax
“God Break Down the Door” is probably the most memorable/interesting single/teaser song NIN put out in a decade. Even if the the last EPs' have some good songs, they didn't make me wanna go back.. I’m tired of that electro / piano Trent Reznor song style. He’s been pulling a KMFDM and just whipping stuff out for fun. This is great.
lol, sorry giggled at whipping stuff out for fun ;D
NIN GOES ACID
Takes! Bruh!
Flulu McLulu EBM = acid?
@@pointsbeingmade7996 This is most definitely acid lol
We need bad dreams when our eyes wide shut. And here they are. Damn special ep. So ghostly.
One of the best NIN songs to come out in a while tbh
Oh God that was just like a Bowie song, on a Lynch movie.
David Bowie - im deranged
Non-Entity Lost Highway
Oscar Manuel Vazquez im aware i got the soundtrack 👍
Voice sounds so much like Bowie!
I was totally thinking "I'm Deranged" too
The more I listen to this, it reminds me of the "Memorabilia" & "I'm Afraid Of Americans" era but mashed up together...very interesting, especially the jazz influences in it with the saxophone. Very Bowie-esque "I'm Deranged"/Lost Highway-ish.
nEdra gUnn Ironically, a lot of songs on his last EPs including this song reminds me of memorabilia and I don’t know if that’s a good thing. I was expecting something different
+nEdra gUnn I Am Afraid of the Perfect American Drug
The thing that's wrong with this song is that it reminds you of many other songs, not the other way around. Kind of an identity crisis. The best example of inversed situation is The Big Comedown - a masterpiece that doesn't sound like anything else, yet it's so musical.
Wow when he sings with a vibrato his voice sounds so haunting and I'm here for it
I have and always will be spoken to when I listen to NIN. Thank you Trent, for your albums being the friends that I can't find anywhere else, in the dark times and the good times alike
I seen em in 1996 and been a fan ever since, I loved the industrial rock phase, but think it's fecking brilliant he doesn't keep churning out the same old stuff! Love the new album.
God break down the door
God break down the door
You won't find the answers here
Not the ones you came looking for
God break the door
Everything all at once
There aren't any answers here
No, no, not anymore
God break down the door
God break down the door
You won't find the answers here
Not the ones you came looking for
God break the door
Everything all at once
There aren't any answers here
No, no, no, no
Remove the pain and push it back in
wow... amazing lyrics... not.
Wow... Amazing insult... Not

Hidden Lyrics :
We are a treacherous people
As night falls down again
In this house of dust
The shades are drawn in
All of the thousands of rooms
We sleep hypnotized from the center
Yes in this new place we call home
Is there anybody but you sitting in the dark
Wondering if you'll remove my skin
Not so different after all
Remove the pain or push it back in
Maybe not so different after all
That kind of thing just doesn’t happen here
I didn’t think that could happen around here
I didn’t think that could happen to me
Can you see what is happening
Pull it out, and push it back see,
I’m not from this world not anymore
Not me and i’ve come to believe that’s OK
I know who i am yes,
I believe i am sleeping after all
Where did you find that?
I can't wait for them to release their next album/ep! As a new fan I'm so excited to see a release happen :D
This Bad Witch record is the best thing they have done. So fucking satisfying.
I absolutely agree
Once again another masterpiece, won't be too long and no more will exist like you..
Sounds like some stuff on the Lost Highway soundtrack which Trent oversaw production
RIP Bowie-you've still got some friends down here
I love all of Trent's work, new and old. But honestly, I love his newer releases, more experimental and different, not the repetitive, drug-induced Downward Spiral writing. It's new, it's interesting. Trent never fails to amaze me :)
this song is brilliant. I’m not just saying that as a “die-hard” fan. Trent has created amazing fuckin art for the last 30 years, and each new offering is a new angle of his artistic perspective. He’s still dark, still brooding, still makes things weird. That’s all I want from him and he doesn’t disappoint.
Jesus shit I hope I can make it to this tour
My sweetest friend you channeled david with the last song of blackstar ... a big hug
Reznor and Atticus are gonna be some super great weird old dudes in another twenty years.
They’re almost there
Nine Inch Nails meets David Bowie's Black Star
my thoughts exactly...and this is a good thing
More like any Bowie song with abstract sax... but yes, Black Star kicked ass.
That and Radiohead in a blender. Cool evolution of NIN.
rationalmuscle evolution or a copy of a copy? 🤣
flannelogue yes it definitely does!! With the background noise of this has little more similarities, in my opinion, of black star
I find it funny how so many people think the song sounds basic. I was floored the first time I heard it, and I'm not usually big on NIN. I've been listening to the album on repeat since it released tonight, and I absolutely love it. It's gonna be the first album I play nonstop for months since Björk's Utopia... Anyways, this album will make me try again with NIN
Jackson Lux try The Fragile, and Not The Actual Events, theyre pretty similar to this, and Ghosts maybe
Slight Difference it's been a while, but I want to thank you for your recommendations. Since my original comment, I've grown into quite the NIN fan.
David Lynch is here to hear this.
I can just imagine Trent and Atticus doing some sort of seance while performing this song and David’s spirit just hovers Trent while he’s singing.
every time i listen it gets better... this is the kind of music that the ET’s enjoy being played on their spaceships
OMG He's trying to do a homage/sequel to Outside, I'm crying over here God... Bowie
Which in itself was highly inspired by NIN and 90s industrial in general. The loop closes.
@@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786 which NIN as a whole was inspired a lot by Bowie's Scary Monsters... So
Never heard trent sings like this! Really an improvement!
I really think NIN is in a new era right now. Their recent work has been top-level.
I wouldn't be half surprised if Bowie himself had a role in the creation of this record. It's almost as though his ghost haunts the sound palette.
I'm officializing it, Trent Reznor is a God.
Sound like Lost Highway. I love it!
AphroditesCrush YES! Been saying this all day
I concur.
Everyone saying it sounds like Bowie forget they worked together in Lost Highway.
best artist in the world
total Bowie vibes with that freaky Sax sound. reminds me of when Trent played Sax during those Live Outside performances with Bowie.
Oh yes
This is what we call emotional content. In film land.....Killer. Cheers to all for this one . Simplicity and elegance. Less is more. Peace Christo
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SO MUCH. i can't understand the 1,250 dislikes HONESTLY..... what the fuck is wrong with your taste in music and your brain? this is ....... beyond cool and awesome.
I love how most people hate this song.
I love how most people hate jazz.
And I also love how most people won't understand how the first two are related.
One of the best things Trent and Atticus have ever produced
Trent doesn't give AF any more, and that is good. I'd rather he try new sounds than just keep repeating the same thing and becoming a self-parody.
I like this minimal stuff. It's cool.
memespace I agree and this song is growing on me after getting all of my bitching out of my system. But this is way too much electronics for me. It’s getting hard for me to adjust
Isaac Allcott compositionally I think it is pretty dang simple.
memespace No, this sounds like a room filled up with rubber bands that you can’t escape
It's like.. how much more bad can this be? The answer is none; none more bad.
Micas099 much, much “more bad”
Okay, this may sound weird. But I use NIN as inspiration for my D&D campaign. Like I use there music to create a calm, unease, and even to jostler sadness out of my players.
まさに「待ってました」の音！久しぶりのニューアルバムが楽しみすぎます♪天才トレント最高です！
I can imagine this song being played at some underground drum and bass and breakbeat raves somewhere in the UK
I listened to this the moment it was uploaded to TH-cam, still come back at least once a week haha.
Welcome back, then. 🤘
Have you ever considered downloading it instead?
Reminds me of David Bowie's I'm deranged.
Reminds me Black Star
Non-Entity I noticed that immediately as well, this would fit nicely in Lost Highway, or really any David Lynch movie honestly.
Non-Entity I love the Outside album. Crazy... was just listening to it the other morning.
Got to see them play live together way back.
The good ol' days.
True.
Yup, the second the vocals started that's what I thought.
This reminds me so much of the Lost Highway soundtrack. I love it, it's great. Never stop evolving.
wasnt much of a fan before this track but the instrumentals sold me. this is fantastic!
Hello Blackstar.
Exactly what I was thinking.
mee too
I think that's why the artwork is a black star. This song wears it's inspiration on it's sleeve
No, this is PatRICK.
*RICHARD PATrick!*
_CAN YOUUU TAKE MY PICTURE? 'CUZ I CAN'T WRITE SHIT THESE DAYS?_
IDK what I'm on about. Nothing against Rich. He was great as the T-1000 in that film with the dog.
I LOVE NINE INCH NAILS!!! In any form this will always be the best for anything and everything is and could be. Trent Reznor is way ahead of our time and will always be one of our greatest musical phenoms that's ever blessed our ears. Didn't Trent say that "this will be nothing like you ever heard"??? I would agree if so.
This song gets me closer to god
xDDDD
Ashraf Rahman Bruh try Swans.
@ʀᴏᴛᴛᴇɴ ɪɴsɪᴅᴇ That means in "Closer", he's indicating that "you get me closer to my own sphincter"...
Ashraf Rahman it make me bite the hand that feeds
I really liked it. It reminds me Peter Murphy and David Bowie. Gothic, techno, alternative, industrial... thank you Trent.
I was waiting for this! Thank you Adikis!
Still think this song is pure rock and roll genius. It goes hard!
This is genius. True homage.
i'm getting a real Bowie vibe too
You just wait. This song will fit in perfectly with the other songs on the album. This is a different NIN, affirmative. There's no reason to just spew hatred with all these knee-jerk reactions. Absolutely respect your opinion if it doesn't grow on you.
I like it. This song seems like just one piece of a larger puzzle, and I am keen to listen to the album from start to finish to find out how those pieces all fit together.
Excellent mind warp! Thanks Mr.Reznor
