Went to their "Early Access Performance" last night. It was great to see NIN back in action and hear some of the new material live. "Less Than" was really good. They also did a really nice tribute to David Bowie and covered "I Can't Give Everything Away." Excited to see them again this weekend!

Oh man, that's incredible. All of Blackstar is absolutely brilliant.

Question - Am I right that the NIN store has only released Deviations so far? I have 3 other items that I ordered along with Deviations back in December that I have yet to receive.
Thanks.

I purchased Deviations at Panorama festival last weekend and just listened to it for the first time today. It's likely not for everyone but it sounds amazing!!
I ordered not the actual events, broken, and the fragile not long after they changed who handled their store. No email updates or vinyl have arrived yet :(

Only Deviations has shipped. Here's the email Trent sent out beginning of June. The rest are due to ship soon, unless there's another hang-up.

ON MY END. YOU DESERVE BETTER.
APOLOGY 2:
THE VINYL RELEASES FOR DEVIATIONS, NOT THE ACTUAL EVENTS
AND THE REISSUES HAVE BEEN DELAYED AS MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE. THE BLAME
FOR THIS LIES WITH ME AND MY TEAM. WE RAN INTO A VARIETY OF QUALITY
CONTROL ISSUES WITH THE AUDIO AND VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE ARTWORK, THEN
WE GOT OBSESSIVE ABOUT GETTING IT RIGHT. AT SOME POINT THESE FUCKUPS
STARTED TO ADD UP TO A SUBSTANTIAL DELAY THAT I WASN’T FULLY AWARE OF
UNTIL RECENTLY.
AGAIN, I’M SORRY FOR THE DELAY HERE BUT THE INTENTION HAS BEEN TO GET THIS UNCOMPROMISINGLY RIGHT.
HERE’S THE UPDATED, ACCURATE (BARRING AN ACT OF GOD) TIMELINE FOR SHIPPING:

HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS WHEN THIS ISN’T THE CASE (LIKE WHAT JUST HAPPENED
WITH BEFORE THE FLOOD). I ASSUMED WE ALREADY HAD THIS PRACTICE IN PLACE, I WAS INCORRECT.
QUESTION:
FINALLY, DID YOU KNOW THERE’S A NEW TOP-SECRET NINE INCH NAILS EP THAT
WILL BE RELEASED BEFORE THE FIRST SHOWS WE DO THIS SUMMER? DID YOU KNOW
NOT THE ACTUAL EVENTS WAS THE FIRST PART OF A TRILOGY OF RELATED EPS THAT WILL BE RELEASED ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS APART? NOW YOU DO.

I find pre-ordering to be a little too stressful when it comes to vinyl. Unless there is a chance it could sell out I would just wait until you know they have their act together.

NIN has been about as bad as they could have been short of simply packing up shop and not issuing refunds.
They were quick to mail out that black powder crap that stood as some form of joke though.
I deliberated going that route once given the option, but persisted given the flaws in my character.
They have even buggered that up, eh?
I asked for a refund on July 14th, I have two different orders. So far, I've received a refund for one of the orders, last week. I'm still waiting for a refund on the second. And that's after multiple emails. Very disappointed in this process.

But yeah, they probably should have waited until Test Pressings were approved or they had the final records in hand (which I guess is tough because they were trying to gauge demand).
I'm curious as to how these will sound. There was so much shit talked about the DR of the new "definitive" mixes, it's possible Trent walked back the brickwalling for the vinyl and that meant new cuts. We'll see I guess.
I got my deviations 1 4LP vinyl and it was horribly packaged in a used record mailer with no padding or anything and the corners and everything got all bent up I emailed them to ask for a replacement sleeve or replacement good luck with that
Cool. Thanks, I had seen a few people say that they had shipped and was wondering if they had missed me. Given the mess this has been I was getting a bit twitchy

Of course, not having my records in hand are a slightly bothersome and nagging concern.
The apology was nice, but this has been poor. It doesn't make me appreciate the music any less, but it sure has been a test of patience.

Okay. Kind of excited.
Anyone know if they are planning a tour for next year?
