FRIENDLY REMINDER: YOU CAN NOW DESTROY ANGELS

 Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 at 4:00pm by

I know I mentioned this on Friday, but I also know that a lot of you spent the last three days destroying a vast percentage of your brain, so I just wanted to remind you: as of today, the debut self-titled EP from How to Destroy Angels – a.k.a. “Trent Reznor’s new project with his wife” – is available for free download.

As we’ve been saying all along, it’s basically Nine Inch Nails with female vocals – which isn’t a bad thing. The sad news is that the group has already released half the tracks in some form or another, and, unfortunately, I think we’ve already heard the album’s best material. That’s not to say I don’t like the remaining songs; I had just hoped that HTDA had some ace up their sleeve that they were waiting to unveil. But nothing really tops “A Drowning” and “The Space in Between.”

Of course, you may very vocally disagree with me, as is your right to do so; and one way or the other, the album is free, so you really have nothing to lose by at least checking it out. Download it here.

    Trent Reznor = epic. Seriously. And $2 for a FLAC download pretty much owns.

    Eh, It was ok. Musically it was somewhat appealing (which is a given with Trent), but emotionally it was kind of dull, and lyrically it seemed kind of weak (big black boots?). I thought her vocals were pretty good, espesically in the context of these downtempo droning songs.

    As you said, my favorite songs were The Space in Between and A Drowning. Fur Lined on the other hand, was terrible.

    Bland, uninspired, and pretty much downright boring.

    No more Trent. No more.

    ‘How to destroy angels’ is the name of Coil’s first e.p. Check it out if you want to know where trent got the name. Besides, Coil is waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy better.

    cool EP! It reminds me of Massive Attack at parts. Can’t wait to hear more!

    This is good. I’m enjoying it a lot, but there are some weak points. It’s good, but not stellar. A good hold over til new NIN (hopefully) or a more concentrated, full release becomes available.
