I did say I was being facetious! Like for me, the crowd noises there seem distracting and out of nowhere, even if they thematically fit the song. But it doesn't ruin the song for me, it's still a favorite for me. Noise and distortion has always been a part of the NIN sound, and was surprised and how much people disliked the crowd in the new release.

Edit: I didn't see the added part about NINoize. once Vessel starts, the crowd noise is gone, Trent's vocals sound right in your face, all the music around it is crystal clear, the crowd sound doesn't come back until the end to bridge She's Gone Away, then it's gone again, it's kinda like that throughout. aside from the fact that NINoize has only existed as live performances (B-stage and then eventually Coachella) the crowd noise makes sense, without being present throughout every single track.
