//love the terms "niggy" and "tar" together
I downloaded this early this morning. Hopefully the music will make me forget about the name.

Holy shit is the music great. Sounds like an experimental NIN album.
I grabbed the free version, but will have to go back and pay the $5, just because it's a solid release.
For the record, I dig having the option to check it out and make sure it's a good album before buying. Nice!

(Nov 1 07, 15:21)i didn't notice the "tar" as much as "niggy". thanks for saying something. looks like i still have quite a ways to cough up my institutional racism. saul always seems to be pushing the "right" buttons to get people thinking. hopefully.

you know jay, I wouldn't necessarily think that because you didn't notice "tar" you're buried under institutionalized racism. A lot of people wouldn't even know wtf the term "tarbaby" alludes to anyway. But yes, Niggy Tardust definitely got my mind going with it. When I say this thread in the PVN this morning I though "Oh hell no... "

Yeah, i was unsure how to title the thread, but i thought i should take a risk. Saul Williams is one of the greatest performance artists i shall probably ever experience. Like many threads on NT, the more alluring, controversial, or interesting the title the more people will see/respond to it.
i think Saul's work should be heard by as many people as possible, especially since he has teamed up with trent.
i thought the title was an interesting play on Bowie, but i am just realizing the depth of what Saul is trying to say.
The track "The Ritual" is quite a charged track that seems to be quite satirical, no, more sarcastic, but it could easily be seen as/heard as a weak copy of Hostyle, or something.
For what it's worth, sorry about the title, it wasn't intended to offend.

i've heard the album a couple of times now and i think it is fantastic. sunday bloody sunday seems kind of out of place but interesting take on it nonetheless.
raised to be lowered, skin of the drum, no one ever does and break are my favorites at the moment. that'll probably change in a few more listens.
