I need to give it some more listens before judging as well. Right now I don't see a big enough change in musical direction. But trent is getting old so it's pretty much just good to hear more nin. I don't think he will ever out do downward or even the fragile but the concept of the cd sounds very intriguing. I'll still end up buying it and enjoying the hell out of it.
I think there were a few weak songs(getting smaller, the collector) for nin standards on the last cd as well as some that were up there with some of the best stuff he's done(all the love in the world, everday is exactly the same, right where it belongs)
