Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross - Pieces Form The Whole - The Social Network

[plan101]

listening to the whole soundtrack "one last time" !

[plan101]

it's been almost a year since this album won best soundtrack and I love am enjoying the album soo much while studying. It deserved the Oscar

[SuperRod88]

Happy Birthday Atticus Ross (January 16)

[ForcheAlex]

So this music was from the Social Network.... I heard this on Parkour Fortress on TF2 and enjoyed it.

[iloveyou58121]

this music clears my soul! it makes me feel so good inside! i cant describe it

[nightcalls0815]

I love this as much as I love my old Amiga, looove how this sounds like an old video game. Thx trentiboy.

[earthy075]

this song sounds bad ass and cool.

[DNj800]

I use this study

[fnob123]

does anyone felt that we have gone back to the 90's or so where our ps1 or Nintendo sound? =|

[Xetronlol]

brilliant >> but what new its trent

[thismakesmeveryangry]

This. This is the man for soundtracks now.

I'd love to see him play this and NiN stuff live...

[BlowItOutYourAss69]

This is 1000 times better then the Tron Soundtrack.

[hotfuzzidol]

"Your best friend is suing you for 600 million dollars."

"I didn't know that. Tell me more."

[losepocket]

Everything Trent has done is gold except for How to Kill Angels which sucks donkey logs.

[drdanisuess]

TSN won best score because it was everything a score should be. It was beautiful music that underscored the action of the scene, perfectly complimenting the emotion and the storyline and enhancing your feelings without drawing attention to itself and what it was doing. Perfect.

Hans Zimmer is wonderful, but he writes scores like an appendage. Maybe the orchestration sounds great alone, but in the movie it just distracts and detracts for me. Not to mention he reuses his work all the time.

[Paperbagman555]

Maybe it won because Inception was an orchestrated type score, nothing original. This was completely modern and original and was a really good score imo, still having said that - why didn't The Social Network win best picture or director as it was more original then The generic King's Speech?

[laf1lm]

@Paperbagman555  same reason Citizen Kane, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, etc did not win for Best Picture. The Academy likes to play it safe,and old fashioned. Sadly...

[Paperbagman555]

@laf1lm I know, it's total bullshit. Same with Pulp Fiction and Apocalypse now. I hope one day they come out of this conservative stage.

[laf1lm]

@Paperbagman555 I dont think it will ever be any different. 70 years ago they failed to do so. 30, 20,10,and this year it was all the same, and I dont know why, clearly TSN was a better film on every level than The King's Speech, but idk, the Academy members like to stay "classy" i guess...

[ryansully89]

the academy does tend to play it safe, but to say the kings speech was undeserving is, imo, wrong. My favorite film this year was the social network but the kings speech was an incredible movie as well

[mikestibor1]

People are confusing Best Soundtrack with Best Score. As a soundtrack it's great. I listen to it everyday. As a score, it didn't even deserve to be nominated, let alone win.

[maabreu1]

@mikestibor1 Im with you there. I think Inception had the best score

[mikestibor1]

@maabreu1 I think Inception should have won as well, but it doesn't really matter. The Oscars don't mean anything.

[maabreu1]

@mikestibor1 The Oscars are the most prestigous American film making awards... I think they do matter.

[ashnfn]

@mikestibor1

I think you're confusing what a score is meant to do, and the physical evidence of what a score symbolizes.

[TrickyEmu]

I came here because I saw that they won an Oscar for the best soundtrack. I didn't watch the movie and I never thought that this movie would get an Oscar in this section. But now that I hear the tunes, I think that they totally deserved it.

[rpp644]

Musically ,anything Trent touches turns to gold in my most humbled of humblest opinions.

[Thanotubis]

@rpp644 I think is every hardcore NIN fan's opinion. Certainly mine. I don't mean to sound like a hipster. XP

[akyl412]

@Thanotubis Since when is being a NIN fan the same as a fucking hipster?! Infact what the fuck is a hipster?!

[chuyxcorexx]

WINNER!!! YES!!

[liljoedaprince1414]

well this beat inception

least i like this movie

[bellster24]

string of notes startinf 1:53 sounds so much like something else ive heard i just cant name it...

[rishitvmovies]

@bellster24 the only song i can think of is "Talk" by coldplay. but it might be another song, but thats the only one that comes to my head when i hear it. it bugs me too that i can't figure out what it sounds like.

[86brettb]

The bashers of this soundtrack shouldnt bother people. They're too used to the recycled bullshit from every other "artist" they buy at walmart. If I was a fan of fall out boy or bullet for my valentine, i probably wouldnt be used to good music either.

[cleekfilms]

I'm sick of this argument! Both are good scores, Inception is pretty generic in my mind and I think the Social Network fit the film better than any other score, but all good scores.

[RazrBlayde]

His brother's the bad guy in the end.

[normish742]

@RazrBlayde oh thanks for the spoiler BITCH!!!

[midgetmister003]

kinda had a NIN sound if ya ask me?!?!?

[fallen2894]

@midgetmister003 Trent Reznor is from NIN

[GordoMendo]

@fallen2894 @midgetmister003 Well, I would say actually, Trent Reznor IS Nine Inch Nails.

[WOGNUMBER1GODFOREVER]

such power in this piece...im going to play this song the morning i have to wake up early to catch the plain to San Diego and begin BUDs training.

[INTERPOLFAN17]

"well actually eduardo did die a little on the inside when he found out he only owned about 3% of facebook

[ProRanting]

I like'd Hans Zimmer's soundtrack better.

[Reasonwillwin]

@ProRanting Oh yeah? Then go on a Hans Zimmer video. BTW don't you love Hanses music? Don't you just love how it always sounds the same!

[ProRanting]

@Reasonwillwin The same? My ass. I don't care if a soundtrack covers all the parts of the movie if it's still generic and lame. I could practically fall asleep with this soundtrack in my ears. It's uninteresting boring and really says something negative about the film. Where's the drama? Where's the passion? It isn't there! In my humble opinion. Thats where we differ though. You like generic techno and I love dramatic passionate soundtracks. ;)

[CasualDiscussion]

@ProRanting Wait, Hans Zimmer writes dramatic and passionate music? Since when? All his scores sound exactly alike. So much for passion. This music is different, and in the context of the movie, thrusts it in the right direction. Sure, on it's own, it's just some chill tracking, and whatever. But when played with the scenes in the movie, it's absolutely soul crushing.

[DillonB1234]

@CasualDiscussion *sigh* I feel bad for all these Zimmer bashers. His scores are incredible! You're entitled to your opinion, but just because in certain scores he uses similar instrumentation does not mean they're all the same.

That's like saying "all of beethovens music is the same because he used a classical orchestra"

Listen to the inception soundtrack, then listen to the holiday soundtrack, then to gladiator (all by zimmer) and THEN say that statement again.

[CasualDiscussion]

@DillonB1234 While I think he is incredibly good, I just don't think his music is oscar worthy :P It's brilliant maybe, but it's put together just like every other movie score, and honestly it just isn't so absurdly good it deserves a award of such high standards.

[DillonB1234]

@CasualDiscussion and this is?I don't mean to sound condescending, or to imply that your opinion isnt valid. But I just don't understand what you mean by "like every other score". Inception used pounding brass, incredibly unique synth sounds the likes of which haven't been used since blade runner, and it had compelling electric guitar/string elements which helped support and flesh out the melodies. TSN OST seems to be mostly groovy beats and synth soundscapes..very common in tv scoring actually

[CasualDiscussion]

@DillonB1234 Pounding brass is a common element in movies, Just look at any average war movie or drama film. Strings and guitar is also a common element in most films, especially nowadays with the ease of arranging them and recreating them. The synth effects were cool, but honestly not all that impressive. They added a little flavor to the sound, but it's like adding salt to soup, it's only gonna make it so much better. The depth of the synth choices and the powerful melodies are what made TSN..

[jjsaenz69]

nine inch nails was on the se7en soundtrack

[nealrutgerskid]

WOW!!!!!!!

[mhaze210]

TRENT JUST WON A GOLDEN GLOBE.....i knew he would!!!

[sulmagnificent]

@mhaze210 I hope he wins academy and then.... EGOT lol will have to wait for Yr Zero for that

[reldov]

david and trent

the dream team

[tytryo]

Fight club and The social network are david fincher's two best films, true cinematic masterpieces

[Crimson126]

now everytime I enter my college campus (Uof I) I think of this song on my way to class! I try to imagine what it might have been like at Harvard...

[mxxlay]

Trent Reznor is the shit!!! Keep em coming!!!

[minkuce]

They better give Trent the Oscar!

[fuckfuck7]

3 people are still looking for pieces to form their whole opinion on what transcendent music really sounds like...for those tired of wandering through the vast, empty vacuum alone forever trapped between two white ear-buds clinging to "The Downward Spiral", here is the next step...

[omkark97]

Wat was the music running when Mark meets Sean Parker at the hotel for the first time?

Been looking for it for long

[MattNavarra]

3 people need hearing aids.

[MattNavarra]

@Fiaganja I was actually just joking. I'll try to make that more obvious next time. Little piece of advice, try not being so judgmental based on 1 joke made by somebody. I wasn't too shocked to see 7 out of 10 of your profile comments are people telling you to stop trolling. Being nicer to people will help you make more then a grand total of ONE friend on youtube in 3+ years. I'm a forgiving person and would be happy to help you create a social network on youtube. Peace and Respect.

[dablacksolja]

@MattNavarra you defnetly know how to make people close their mouth x)

[20peter3286]

@MattNavarra

yeah u fuker u need more friends on youtubr!!!! =)

[Pravindaswani74]

@20peter3286 hello,what did Fiaganja said? (thanks)

[cja2369]

@MattNavarra yeah cuz obviously friends on fucking youtube actually matter. come on now.

[Simon0Brien]

@MattNavarra not funny

[earthquakefocus]

The music fits perfectly to the movie. Really.

[minchnails]

This is my favorite!!! I am

[minchnails]

This is my favorite!!!

[rachyrooness]

The whole time I was watching that movie I was waiting for this song :) Hehe

[priMMoz]

why, oh why must this song come to an end?

[SetoKaiba182]

Can anyone tell me in what scene was this song played during the movie? 

[sulmagnificent]

@SetoKaiba182 i completely forgot and i just watched it this friday lol

[supar2100]

there are just 2 reasons to watch a movie about the most overrated website or artifact or thing invented by a human ever created, 1. directed by david fincher, the guy that directed se7en, 2. the sound track is from trent fucking reznor

[Gaia2708]

does anybody know which song is when there was in the club? i thought it was in new york

[superchami]

Guau! Lo primero que me impactó al sentarme en el cine y comenzar la película: la música es de Trent Reznor. También flipé con la Soundtrack de Fight Club. Total!!! Y vivan los Pixies.

[sopues]

Am I the only one who is thinking "chip" and "commodore-64" ?

[mogwai81kraftwerk]

I love trent reznor and mike patton. god or satan bless you guys!!

[hongquiao]

what's the song that plays during "the seanathon"

[animaghimire101]

@hongquiao It's called "Magnetic". Perfect title, if you ask me.

[ckrm55]

UH how i miss Nine Inch Nails! Trent you are my world! <3

[ahvostik]

I know I screwed up the titles to "Zodiac" and "Se7en"

sorry guys.

Every time I hear this song it really takes me back to seeing this movie for the first time. Man... what a great film and soundtrack.

great acting, great directing, GREAT EVERYTHING!!!!

winklevi actor for Best Supporting Actor confirmed.

[minamu8]

Hmm... Pieces Form The Whole? or Hand Covers Bruise?

[Paintchk218]

Vote up on this comment if u found these song from watching Attack of the Show.

[FuckinHateNewUtube]

What was the song playing during the San Francisco club scene in the movie?

And upon the arrival of the females for the first Phoenix party of the year?

[blacklightburns100]

Exelent ! Trent Rules the WORLD !

[MaghoxFr]

does anybody knows if the song of the part that Zuckerberg and Parker are on a nightclub is from Reznor also? The "this is our time" part. That music sounded great.

[StayGoldDallybear]

@MaghoxFr "The Sound Of Violence"

[MaghoxFr]

@StayGoldDallybear Thanks, the search of "The sound of violence" in youtube lead me to an awesome classious video I've never seen and blew my mind. I found out that the name of the song is without the "the", it's just "sound of violence". So thanks for both things!

[gs8411]

Nevermind -- the music from the Final Clubs/Facemash scenes is "In Motion".

[gs8411]

Is this the music while the Final Clubs montage was playing?

[eddddddy]

@gs8411 Same movie directors, different music directors. Dust Brothers is credited for Fight Club, Trent Reznor and Atticus are credited for Social Network.

[gs8411]

@eddddddy I said Final Clubs scene (one of the opening scenes with the Facemash montage) -- not Fight Club.  ;)

[Thadran]

It's sound a bit like Sim City 2000 in slow-mo

[klangkanzlei]

Great Soundtrack 

[JesusCristo2002]

Bottom line: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross created one of the most musically, artistically and aesthetically significant soundtracks of recent years; and for Trent Reznor it signifies that progressively over time he continues to define your ideal quinessential perfectionist.

[WannaTradePants]

The music surprisingly fits the movie perfectly.

[MsJonlyBonly]

That was a great movie, but an amazing soundtrack by Trent Reznor!

[GhOzTSe7eN]

alright now lets get Fincher and Reznor together for Fight Club 2

[Bulacanos]

Awesome movie, nice soundtrack, I did not expect that ending where everybody died.

[800gallons]

@Bulacanos me neither dude

[skateNappreciate]

@Bulacanos lol is bulacanos joking? im actually believing it

[Bulacanos]

@skateNappreciate This is what I tell people when I leave the theatre.

[TheMOVIECRITICman]

@Bulacanos OH HAHA ITS A FUNNY CAUSE NO ONE REALLY DIED! *insert indian laughing guy from family guy here*

[ideoteqa]

@Bulacanos hahhaa

[lbetweenthebars]

@Bulacanos thanks mate... I've been having a terrible time and your comment made me laugh :)

[777electric777]

@Bulacanos lol, you kinda just brightened my life.

[mugsy999]

i love you man!!!

[robprix]

Awesome, i wouldn't expect any less from the two.

[JesusCristo2002]

I'm looking forward to "The Social Network" for many things....David Fincher and Trent Reznor reunite. Note: David Fincher directed the "Only" music video for Trent.

[sarahballiet]

reminds me of Clint Mansell's moon soundtrack and that's a frikkin compliment.

[ahvostik]

David Fincher directed Fight Club, The Zodiac, 7even, and The Game.

Trent Reznor is the perfect match. :)

[meezocool]

@ahvostik They spell it Se7en, not 7even.. but whatever

[vikas713]

@ahvostik You totally butchered the titles. It's just Zodiac and not "The Zodiac". Also it's Se7en or simply Seven and not "7even".

[BadSeccc]

@ahvostik BTW, Reznor also made some music for Fincher's 7even, but he was not credited. :)

[wootslap]

@BadSeccc No, a remix for Closer was used in the opening credits. He never made any music specifically FOR the film, Fincher (or whoever was doing the music) decided to put that song in there.

[CarlosHigg]

@ahvostik I think its just Zodiac ;)

[CarlosHigg]

@ahvostik I just lost the game

[prattals]

@ahvostik And it's not "7even" it's just Seven, or se7en

[GreenyBaby87]

@ahvostik I just lost the game.

[ahvostik]

@GreenyBaby87 don't worry... it gets much more interesting after you lose.

[ImSuchaGamer]

@ahvostik FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUU

[clutchcityrockets]

@ahvostik 7even? I think you mean Se7en

[Deuskex]

@ahvostik List is not full

[DasWeisseBand]

@ahvostik and panic room wich is one of the worst films ever

[MacDaddyPooty]

awesome music as expected from trent but couldnt he have just spent those 8 months making a ghosts sequel instead...

[xinadeath]

I can't stop listening to this song, it's so beautiful. <3

[S4BIO]

More sheer musical genius from Trent and Atticus. Exactly what I have come to expect. Although I must say I am also disappointed that Trent associated himself and his incredible talent with a film that glorifies that inane, time-wasting social cancer known as Facebook.

[ahvostik]

@S4BIO it can be time-wasting but Mark Zuckerberg is still a genius for creating it and providing something which has captured the imaginations of BILLIONS.

[meezocool]

@ahvostik Millions, not Billions..

[Hatebreeder777]

@S4BIO i don't think you know what the movie is really about... Probably don't even know who David Fincher is.

[kaosjm]

@S4BIO motherfucker complaining about "that inane, time-wasting social cancer known as Facebook" on the GENIUS, COMPLETELY NONDISTRACTING, SUPER-FRIEND-MAKING website known as Youtube. Get off your fucking high horse. I'm pretty sure Trent doesn't give two fucks about disappointing you. Don't be trashing movies you don't understand or haven't even seen, cause... you know.....David Fincher made Fight Club.

[MachoMadness79]

@kaosjm you tube provides useful and entertaining content...facebook provides a false sense of companionship and attention for the needy.

[kaosjm]

@MachoMadness79 I'm sorry but I have yet to find anything on youtube that I would classify as "useful". It's brain numbing instant stimulation, like television on steroids. You say fb "provides a false sense of companionship and attention for the needy", well then you mind telling me just what the fuck a "vlog" is all about? I'm not trying to be a fb's fanboy, but I was able to hear my brother was in a hospital half way around the world through fb, much more "useful" than getting rick roll'd.

[MachoMadness79]

@kaosjm sorry to hear about your bro... and for personal issues such as that, there should be a more solid form of contact between siblings. im not familiar with vlogs, i just like to find old footage or listen to songs i havent heard in a while. i would say 96 percent of those on FB just want people to be interested in them and there lives, the rest i guess are looking to stay in touch with family or friends cause a phone call would be too much effort. We can go back and forth about it all day

[Patti6583]

nice

[myboomstick]

tbh trent's music will be the only reason why i want to see this movie. sounds tight.

[waqman]

@myboomstick The soundtrack worked so well for this movie. But believe me it's a lot more interesting than you think. Fincher's masterpiece.

[DarkFox365]

@myboomstick 

[Baxxter101]

@myboomstick word...  Was pretty sick of seeing the previews until hearing some of these tracks and reading actual reviews of the film.

[kalel333]

@myboomstick IT"s AWESOME FOR TRENT but the movie is awesome as well but Trent makes this movie EPIC

[GB4ManU7fan]

@myboomstick

the movie actually is really good, this music certainly helped that.

[AceOfVideos]

@myboomstick agreed this is by far one of the best industrial/ambient music collaborations EVER PERIOD Trent Reznor with NIN was fucking AWESOME and then Atticus Ross sealed his awesomeness with the soundtrack for "the Book of Eli" was tight as hell so with those together i don't see how u could go wrong

[Wiid33z]

@AceOfVideos if u like them check out Clint Mansell. he did the Requiem for a Dream scores and The fountain. also Smokin Aces

[AceOfVideos]

@Wiid33z actually i've known about him, and i have the entire requiem for a dream soundtrack but i didn't know he did the soundtrack for smokin aces is it any good? lol and i still have yet to see the fountain

[Wiid33z]

@AceOfVideos i thought so and the fountain is a very dark and tragic romance. i recommend any movie clint scores.. they usually all have that dark and mysteriousness to them

[blairvicki]

@myboomstick  me, too!

[Anjohl]

I can't belive Trent contributed such a great tune to such a pretentious, shitty movie about a "technology" which has destroyed the concept of human interaction.

[Rosstacular]

@Anjohl i unlike you hold my opinions on movies until i have actually seen them. seems to make more logically sense instead of spewing bullshit but what do i know.

[Stolat04]

@Anjohl riiiiiiiiiiight oooooooooooooon (dickweed)

[estevancarlos]

@Anjohl you're complaining about trent reznor's promotion and relationship to technology? do you know who trent reznor is?

[MacDaddyPooty]

@Anjohl i agree but hey, atleast we got some awesome music out of him

[Frunksta]

are there any movies or shortmovies inspired by music like this?

[evlire1]

In my opinion, a very powerful song for a movie score. I like it.

[renob2008]

Do people expect NIN song when they see trent reznor name attached to something? Sure seems that way, this music is the shit!

[mrAZcardinal]

meh.

[frallex]

Somebody please upload the haunting version of "Hand Covers Bruise" with piano accompaniment! You can hear it on the official site. I want to "video to mp3" it.

[WOGNUMBER1GODFOREVER]

this song helps me reflect on my whole life. right on trent, right on.

[whispeeeer]

Sooooo GHOSTS-like! Love it ;)

[dnoll135]

one word. garbage

[wojovox]

@dnoll135

Altogether that's 3 words. Go set your wet cunt on a sponge doll.

[coldfront999]

@wojovox dnoll must have been staring at himself in the mirror when he wrote that.

[skateNappreciate]

@coldfront999 haha ouch

[Depraved]

Beautiful.
