NiggyTardust.

This cd is pretty amazing so far. Cover of Sunday Bloody Sunday (about the only U2 song I can stand). Samples Public Enemy - Welcome To the Terrordome on one track.

The beats are excellent and compliment Trent's style really well. Sauls jagged lyrics and delivery are perfect in this environment.

It's really great to have a melding of the music and lyrics from Saul instead of the normal background music with his spoken word over it (without much cohesion sometimes).

I think Trent, Thavius Beck, and DJ Kidtronix all share music/beats according to the pdf. Most of it is Trent though. BY the way, the pdf is pretty fucking sick. This whole package they sent out is amazing.

Does Trent possible do backing vocals on it?

I thought I heard him on the two tracks they "leaked".

I'll be looking forward to listening to this tonight.

Favourite songs?

Sunday Bloody Sunday is my guilty pleasure U2 song so it's amazing to hear redone (well).

Scared MOney is nice too.

It's kind of neat to envision NiN with some real lyrics, instead of the shit Trent writes.

This shit is dope. I recently got into Saul when my friend put his first record on my Ipod. I am lovin black history month & Convict Colony. I am gonna go get the 320 version and give my 5 bucks when I get home. It's funny, most of the narrow-minded NIN fans are bitching that trent wasted his time here and showed have put a new album out instead.
