"You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug".... Well, I finally heard that new NIN song. I know that it's been out for awhile. I avoid commercial radio at all costs! I saw the new video as well. I've always felt that NIN was just a mix of Skinny Puppy and Ministry with catchy pop hooks. At best, I have thought that Trent's stuff was "OK" in the past. A bit pretentious, but "OK". But this new tune is where he hits rock bottom. That chorus is enough to drive you off a cliff. The only redeeming quality is the cool drum break. With U2 and (supposedly) Smashing Pumpkins heading into dancier territories, Perry Farrell's electronic music prophecy (this guy is a certified CORN FLAKE), it's probably safe to say that........ THE DARK DAYS ARE UPON US. Dennis O'Hare noise@webtv.net

Very true. I'd hate to see Smashing Pumpkins get dancey and not make another masterpiece like 'Mellon Collie...'. The U2 single has only a bit of a groove - not like they've gone all Squarepusher on us or anything - but I suppose I can forget about another 'Love is blindness' soon. Damn. Most of all however, I'd hate to have all my fun at the next Pumpkins gig spoiled by a sudden invasion of all these serious looking self-declared intelligent "cutting edge" elctronic listening music kids who don't know how to just listen to and enjoy music anymore, but spend the entire gig trying to spot the presets on D'Arcy's sequencer. Feel free to ignore me, most people do. Maarten on now: sonic youth - evol
