Nine Inch Nails - Not The Actual Events mp3 download

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere. The two lyric sheets are mirror images of each other. The red one's glossy text is the same as the blue ones regular text, and on the blue's glossy text being the same as the red one's regular text. If you have both it's really cool to compare them side by side.

This is one of the greatest LP's in my collection. The presentation is superb!

Listening to it now and I am thinking... Total steal from Wolfgang Press.But is sounds great..

Hallolan

Oh ya this sounds good. There are some complex and intertwining sounds on this thing yet it comes across crystal clear. The vocals are recorded kinda low and are a tad bit compressed, I think in part due to the many effects used. I actually think Reznor uses compression as a production tool so don't be surprised in the varying clarity of parts of the songs. This is why you must play this record loud as the sticker suggests because everything becomes more transparent then and the little nuances can be heard, there's all these little sound effects here and there that really add to the awesomeness of these tracks. Great recording. Super happy with the dense, intricately layered beats. What a great musical experience, there's so much to be revealed in this music. The drums sound killer too. I don't know how he does it. 10/10.

This is a superb pressing...as expected. Trent Reznor says that this vinyl is the way this album should be heard, and he wasn't kidding! Truly amazing. My copy had the black powder on it (only a thin, thin layer), but if you house the sleeve in the plastic cover it comes with you shouldn't have an issue with it. The entire EP is on the A-side, while the B-side contains backwards versions of "Hurt", "The Downward Spiral", and "Reptile". They are based off the 2017 Definitive Edition of The Downward Spiral vinyl, so even though they're backwards they still sound incredible!

Dancing Lion

I am totally floored by this release, and yes I found it really bizarre with the last three tracks from TDS in reverse on the B-side.

Wow. Been waiting a long time for another NIN album that I instantly love from first song onward... waited to listen to this album until I got the vinyl version of the album (which I feel is a great pressing regardless of a previous review) and I love it from the first song onward... haven't felt that since The Fragile. Totally impressed and I've been a fan since '92. Glad to see Trent is killing it again. Not saying albums after The Fragile weren't good, just lacking imho. But they had awesome elements and told great stories when listened in entirety w/o skipping through tracks. And am very glad to these getting vinyl releases and the represses he is putting out! Trent has been my favorite producer for about 25 years so I'm a lifelong fan and may have a biased opinion. But, I say if you are a fan of NIN you should buy the vinyl and listen to it from start to finish. LOUD! It's imperative to listen LOUD!

Umi

Nice pressing but WAY too quiet. I know the EP says "Made to Be Played Loud" on the sticker, but you actually have to turn your system all the way up just to hear it at a nice volume.The reverse tracks on the b-side are a nice and very weird touch.

Blackbeard

Shouldn't be a problem if you have a decent amplifier with speakers that have a high sensitivity rating. Any speakers with a sensitivity rating in the 90's dB range should be good.

Nekora

Haha yeah, that was fun. Side B is the last 3 tracks of TDS played in reverse. I'm pretty certain it comes from the 2017 remaster too.

Thomand

No bells and whistles with this release but the sound is phenomenal. Great pressing.

Orevise

Would it be worth creating a separate release for the pressings that come with the red on blue/ blue on red lyric sleeves?

Jode

Yes, I believe it qualifies as a variant. I also have the red inner with blue text. I noticed some of the lyrics are printed in clear gloss, a nice touch.

Dianaghma

Is that not this release? It's just a lyric sheet.

Nalmezar

Pretty sure this is a misprint and should not contain 3 songs from TDS played in reverse...

Jazu

Yeah. I was going to say that it has to be intentional when it's designed specifically to drag the needle from the inside out (provided your table doesn't physically push and simply drags along the groove).

Nilabor

You must be new to Nine Inch Nails. This is fully intentional.

Sharpbinder

Mine didn't arrive in a plastic sleeve and YES the powder on the outer card sleeve does smudge and was all over my fingers. Mine has a big blood stain on the reverse too.

Sironynyr

I think the blood stain is actually printed on every copy and not something they added later. Is it right under the NG and RE of Burning Bright (Field on Fire)?

Ranenast

Does the download card in the album include the reversed tracks? Or only the 5 numbered on the A side?

Zeueli

No, you only get the tracks on the A side.

Visonima

Only the A side tracks are available to download. The B-side tracks are vinyl only.

Uylo

I'm looking close at the label and can even feel the texture of grooves. It would be like Trent to that sneaky.I remember Jack White did this for one of his vinyl releases a few years back and it did work. Didn't sound great, but it can be played and heard. Not that that he and Trent are similar, but just stating that it has been done before, so not a far-fetched notion.I would take one for the team and chance fucking up my needle, but my table is auto-return and won't go that far in. Anyone feeling brave?

Rainshaper

There is no audio on/under the label. I did try it for a few seconds to confirm. I think it's just how this pressing plant does labels, as the other reissues (TDS and Broken) look the same.

Purebinder

I've uploaded pictures of my printed inner sleeve as it's a different colour to the ones already printed. Everything else is identical except the smudges on the cover.

Tto

Yeah, my inner sleeve is red instead of blue. And I think all the smudges are different.

Uafrmaine

Shouldn't another entry be made in this case since it's a variant??

Ylal

Try playing side B in reverse, if your player allows you to. Sounds great when played forward, but much cleaner in reverse.

Bukelv

Recording the audio of Side B into the computer and then reversing it so that it's now correct, it sounds exactly the same as the original tracks (Reptile, The Downward Spiral, Hurt), there is nothing new or special about it, other than it being reversed.
