Nine Inch Nails - Only

[Mr. Joe]

This website: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Inch_Nails said Nine Inch Nails has been shooting a video for this song since April 19, 2005. I may be sure so or not if it's gonna be the second single for With Teeth. I don't know if any of this has been confirmed just yet.

I kinda figured this would be the next single. But for whatever reason, I don't get why people are calling this the "highlight" of the album. Maybe I feel like the lyrics are rather silly, but I think there are better potential singles from the album.

I mean, "Getting Smaller" is right after and is that much more catchy.

[Ragin]

I don't get people saying that there is a "highlight" to the album. I think the whole thing is solid.

I love this song and I know the video is going to be incredible.

There is a hilarious (fake) video here:

"Everyday Is Exactly The Same" HAS to be a single at some point.

Well, you never know.

[halo19]

It probably will though because it was listed on the sleeves & people seem to think that's a highlight, too.

I do agree that all the songs are good, even though that doesn't mean I love them all.

However, there are a few songs that I love that wouldn't be hits with a 40-foot pole.

Whoever posted this is an idiot. "Only" is not going to be the he new Nine Inch Nails single, is it? There is no second official single yet for the new album With Teeth. It has NOT even played on the radio yet.

[halo19]

To ^: Um, the song has been played on the radio. Look at Mediabase. It's got 24 spins. Besides that, the song's been getting play ever since the album was released.

why would they be shooting a video for it if it wasn't, genius?

never mind the fact that's it's clearly listed on the album's sticker as the 2nd single

And obviously you didn't look at the mediabase charts before making that comment because it is getting a handful of spins.

I really don't care for this choice. But then there really aren't any songs on the record that would make good subsequent singles, I don't think.

"Right Where It Belongs" is by far my favorite track on the record, but that would make a lousy single.

Hope this is better than "The Hand That Feeds"

Yes, it is, Alex (or should I say POKINATCHA SOCKPUPPETS?). See: www.nin.com/halo/20/index.html

Even KROQ started playing the song this week.

A little rude, but, okay.

I like this song now that it's grown on me. I don't know about it being the highlight, since I don't have the CD, but I know this and "The Hand That Feeds" are really good.

Goes for adds July 26.

The video is cool...

A little like watching a screensaver after awhile...really flashy and entertaining at first, but then tedious and repetitive. It doesn't make for a really exciting video, but it's well done, despite all the Apple product placement. I love this song, too, but I wonder just how well the Alternative format will embrace it. I'm hoping Top 5...probably Top 10, almost undoubtedly Top 20, if for no other reason than that THTF did so well.

This is also up for remixing.

I've been working on a remix for this, and for the Team Sleep single that's also up for remixing. Anyway getting back on topic, I really like this single choice a lot more than The Hand That Feeds actually.

Really? I've been trying to find a program to remix songs in general, but I've been getting lazy, haha. I still haven't seen the video, but I expect this to debut on next week's Rock Countdown.

This is cool, with regard to the dance-ish music. The lyrics seem kinda subpar, though. And the video, though cool, also comes off as a bit tacky to me.

Personally, I would've preferred "Every Day is Exactly the Same" or "Getting Smaller" to be the second single, but that's only because those are the only other cuts I've heard from the record.

I seem to agree with both parts, even though I have the record. I hate saying that a NIN song's lyrics are on par with Drowning Pool, but sadly that's the case with "Only". If not for the self-parody type lyrics, it'd be great.

Yeah. The graphics are really good but it just gets repetitive. In fact, my favorite part of the video is when they show the tea cup. It's simple and cool.

This song sucks...blah.

And considering that most of your posts are CHR/POP related you should really try posting something with a little more substance to it if you expect to have any credibility on topics like this.

^agreed.

+133 bullet btw

Well, I definitely wouldn't go as far as to compare it to Drowning Pool, but it just sounds like Trent's aimlessly ranting on the song. It's like he wants to say something, but has absolutely no idea how to go about it.

[halo19]

I guess I'm being harsh about it because it's a single and I can't believe someone who's approached 40 still churns out tracks with lines like "I just pick you up to hurt myself". I used to think that all those critics who said his stuff was style over substance were wrong, but on the new album, there are definitely times when they are right.

It also disappoints me that critics are trying to distance Trent from The Fragile while that album was so much better than the new one. I hate to say it but as far as Trent's standards go the new one is kind of disappointing. I really don't care how long it took him to release a follow-up album but while this is supposed to be song-structured I think that pretty hate machine and broken did the job a little bit better. It has its highlights, which can be seen on my personal chart.

"The Collector" is okay and seems pretty catchy to me and "Getting Smaller", while not in the electronic sound that he's known for, is pretty good and catchy. Both would make good singles.

Umm.. i listen to a lot of alternative music too. I just don't like this song. But I really liked "The hand that feeds." This one's just not good enough IMO.

And I didn't know I had to have credibility on a thread dealing with a song called "Only You" by Nine inch Nails I just stated what i felt about this song.
