Back in 2018 the New York Times published an op-ed by the economist Seth Stephens-Davidowitz about the formation of musical taste. Stephens-Davidowitz (um, let’s call him “Professor Seth”) accessed Spotify analytics—specifically, hit counts and release dates for songs, cross referenced to age demographics of listeners—and drew the conclusion that “[t]he most important period for men in forming their adult tastes were the ages 13 to 16,” and “[t]he most important period for women were the ages 11 to 14.”
You have a very good about being able to hear anything in this. It’s hard to tell if it’s directly from these guys or mutated and passed on by the Beatles but I clearly heard an influence through NIN in there as well. Right after the record stop. The lumbering section that immediately follows feels like it could have influenced Reznor on The Fragile. The title track has a section about midway through that feels like it’s cut from the same cloth.
I just played that NIN track, and I can hear it. It's pretty terrific cloth, and I think it comes in black! I love the speed-up on this OM track. I'm a sucker for that kind of time change.
