Not sure why it’s NIN. He’s still working with Atticus and it’s all instrumental with a couple vocal tracks.
Atticus has been an official member of NIN since 2016.
There have also been other purely instrumental NIN releases: Quake soundtrack and Ghosts I through to Ghosts VI.
To me this sounds much more NIN than the other scores Reznor and Ross have worked on.
I kinda see what you're saying... wikipedia sez it was Disney's idea to make it a NIN album instead of a "Trent and Atticus" soundtrack ... and at least half of it does sound just like electronic music made for a Disney Tron movie, and I was never a huge fan of the NIN "Ghosts" instrumental albums. But there are 2-3 songs on this that are at least as good as those on the Events/Violence/Witch EPs. And tho they're not my favorite part, instrumentals are an important part of The Fragile, so there's precedent. I guess I see this as a step sideways, if not a step forwards. (I just hope it's not the last NIN album wtf lel...)
For sure. Not complaining, guess I was expecting a heavier sounding soundtrack and not the instrumental electronic landscapes they’re known for when making soundtracks.
