My appreciation goes to @
eric3579 for recommending this video ... just had to share. Catchy and infectious.
Culled from the YouTube description:
Lyrics:
I am Trent Reznor this is how I write songs
make all my verses sound like this
then I throw in some random percussion
so that you can dance to it
weird guitar!
then my voice starts getting louder
then I bring it back down
its almost time to hear the chorus
but first let's listen to this weird sound
...what the hell was that?
this is a Trent Reznor song
sometimes it's very long
it can go on and on
but, it's very awesome
this is a Trent Reznor song
yeah, it's still going on
seriously, it's the same song
but, it's very awesome
let's end the song with creepy piano
now it sounds like a haunted house
let's end the song with creepy piano
yeah that sounds really awesome

EvilDeathBeeI have much love for NIN and Reznor, but that latest album was shit
newtboyNow that we have the formula and can make our own NIN music, is Trent going back home to his black and white, bug infested house?
notarobotI've been listening to NIN for almost 20 years. I didn't know what to make of the album at first (wtf? major key?) but it grew on me. I'm not the angsty teen I was when I started listening to them. Nor is Reznor the same man who once penned 'Hurt.' He's got kids now--though I don't expect that he plays 'Closer' for them at home.
Regarding 'Hesitation Marks' as something of a resolution helps the album fit in the NIN discography.
Reznor has been Broken, fallen into a Downward Spiral, discovered The Perfect Drug, thought he was Fixed, but discovered that he was still Fragile, recovered again With Teeth, started over at Year Zero, Slipped a bit, looked at his Hesitation Marks and remember that he has tried, and survived, Everything.
And this is a wonderful parody of his style.

siftbotPromoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Thursday, March 27th, 2014 3:54am PDT - promote requested by notarobot.
EvilDeathBeeI totally understand and appreciate where Reznor's coming from with Hesitation Marks, but I just can't listen to it. I tried to like, but after several attempts I gave up on it. I know his music has always been a reflection of himself, but I hope he tries something different next time.
BTW, I wasn't an angsty teen with I started listening to NIN so I haven't really grown with Reznor.

Jinxsays...I lieked that 1 f rom the 300 trailer.
Babymechsays...This is not a very good parody of Broken. So, Trent Reznor is bigger than this, I guess.
iauiI'm a big fan since Downward Spiral and still absolutely love The Fragile, which is one of the best albums ever made IMHO. I listened to Hesitation Marks once, didn't hate it, and saw them perform live in their latest tour.
Though it does indeed sound like a lot of Reznor songs, this is is a remix/rearrangement of 'Copy of A', in which Reznor sings about everything being a copy of a copy (of a copy, etc.) Get it?
