Stumbled upon this https://stevenkarlssonbrown.substack.com/p/nine-inch-nails-just-reinvented-the and as much as the guy clearly has issues, it's really interesting and thought through.

Basically moaning about how NIN now sounds like TR/AR OST work and vice versa and asking for an honest-to-goodness NIN album, whatever that is. I think most folk here also want that, but are also unsure what it would look or sound like.

Sounds like they are working on it, though.

Personally, I would like some live drums again - and persona style lyrics like from Year Zero.

As pointed out in the write up though, it's anyone's guess as to what will come next. Or when.

I like the recent flurry of activity, but agree it is a bit messy.

And so now we know that lp2 was originally going to be 14 songs long, as with lp1 -and that the entirety of Wall of Eyes made the cut.

But what of the songs 'Cut-Outs' and 'Not Sticking Around'? I find it hard to think they are 'new' songs but rather provisional titles for two of the songs on Cut Outs.

Any ideas?

I have tried playing around with different iterations of songs (Zero Sum and No Words are the best I can do) to see what it flows like.

Hard not to think of this project differently from Kid A and Amnesiac style end product.
