Man am I late to the party.

I did a quick run through NIN's discography and this was the only one I found to be insufferable. The Hand That Feeds was fine, the rest almost put me to sleep.

I like this one

>>126819242 (OP)
This album absolutely did not deserve the hate it got.
Yeah it's the weakest in his discography but it has some great tracks. The entire 2nd half of the album is so good too.
Also songs like 'You Know What You Are,' 'The Collector,' and 'Beside You In Time' are way better live.

>>126819359
Agreed, mostly. The Slip is actually his worst, deserves so much hate, and is when he really fell all the way off.

>>126819359
First time listening to NIN now, I'm impressed by this album. I have a few more songs left and I'll listen to The Downwrard Spiral next.

>>126819370
>The Slip is actually his worst
Actually yeah I agree with that now that I think about it. I loved it when it came out, but it feels a lot more like an EP or just some unreleased tracks than a proper NIN album, and listening to it nowadays I realize there are only like 2 songs I really like.

>>126819382
>jumping from With Teeth to TDS
Fucking kek, it'll interesting to see how you take the change

>>126819407
lol okay. will keep you posted

As a complete outsider who didn't grow up with them and has completed their discography, Pretty Hate Machine is undefeated.

>>126819407
The words I'd use to describe 'With Teeth' are easy listening, atmospheric, and somewhat melancholic overall. It's not necessarily catchy but with the first song off of 'the downward spiral' - 'I do not want this' it starts off pretty explosive and groovy. High energy. Those distorted drums are delicious, great vocals too, love it.

I've only heard a little about Trent Reznor, I know he did the Quake OST which was well received, everything I've heard so far makes me think he's some sort of genius. I'm learning music theory and can tell from what little I know that he must be a master. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1SsBMsauvE&t=452s

TDS > WT easily. It's a lot heavier and catchier, I can see why some may say it's bland, it's too 'ambient' to have that bite. Even the Hurt cover is great, was about to skip it but it too has great production and singing.

>>126819941
>Even the Hurt cover is great
That's the original, the Johnny Cash version is a cover.

>>126819359
Why do rock music fans always claim the best album of their favorite band is the "worst album"? What kind of autism is that?

>>126819967
Oh shit, my bad.

What if a band came out called Seven Inch Nails, generally popularized themselves with the acronym SIN, and was almost the same sound and vibe of NIN I think it could be really interesting

>>126819941
Has to be a troll - right?

It opens the door to new bands, because there could also be Five Inch Nails, who go by FIN, and obviously they'd have to really bring the house down, like I just think that's an awesome concept, it sort of opens up the haunted house of the concept, you know I just think it would completely be true to Trent's vision

for me, its the Fragile (peak NIN)

the three EPs they put out 2016-2018 were breddy gud if you guys missed them

>>126820002
Like I said, I'm late to the party by a few decades so I don't even know which part of what I said would be funny. I've lived under a rock when it comes to a lot of popular bands. call the police

>>126819941
You might be interested in checking out Foetus and Coil. They were two older industrial acts who did a lot of remixes for NIN around the TDS/Broken era and to my knowledge had quite an influence on Trent's sound. Both acts have evolved into stranger more experimental territory in the past decades, but their outputs in the 80's are top notch.
Foetus especially is incredibly unique. A one-man act who was basically the originator of modern industrial rock, combined industrial beats with super manic jazz and punk, now he does soundtracks for stuff like Archer and Venture Bros. Definitely an influence on the unhinged noisy parts of TDS.

>>126820026
I DEMAND an entire album like Bad Witch

>>126820042
>I don't even know which part of what I said would be funny.
I'm pretty sure they were talking about you thinking "Hurt" was a cover.

>>126819242 (OP)
nine inch nails' best material is on Broken, but it's only an EP so disappointingly short, not even 20 minutes if you take out the covers and instrumental filler
fragile and the downward spiral best albums but any NIN album is at least good

>>126819242 (OP)
every day is EXACTLY LE SAME

>>126819242 (OP)
go see them live if they're playing near you this year
NIN live shows are next level

>>126820384
all killer, no filler
except tracks 7-97

>>126820763
>mogs every VR album

>>126819242 (OP)
What's up with the sudden NIN spamming on /mu/, is it just one guy? Find a better hobby. Better yet, get better taste in music.

>>126820927
They're touring again, a fair amount of zoomers are discovering them for the first time

>>126820927

>why is there a sudden uptick in threads about a popular band that has just resumed activity for the first time in years?

>>126821367
you're the one that mentioned trump, retard
>>126821515
I really like Trudge too, but i like the sound of Scourging Ground and Gilded Chambers more. Has that experimental and churchy? like sound that they never really did again.

@126821659
and here you are, obsessed with me calling out all conservahicks as yourself. you're stupid as shit lol. kys retard.

>126821707
>totally not mad rn btw

>>126820026
These were solid. Hesitation Marks was okay. The stuff between that and The Fragile exists, I suppose. I guess the Ghosts stuff is fine for what it is, but it takes a completely different mindset to want that.

>>126822024
>Hesitation Marks was okay
only track I remember from it is Copy of A
I even saw a show from that tour

>>126821858
Not that anon but God, I hate Nanami.

>>126822275

Foetus is better

>>126822608
eh

WITH THE TEETH-A

>>126819242 (OP)
Just relistened to it last week. Still a masterpiece
>>126819370
Ghosts V is the weakest
>>126820019
True

>>126822608
his remixes on Fixed were cool. Wish he did more NIN mixing

>>126820110
>Foetus and Coil

>>126825561
Just don't look up the Coil video for Love's Secret Domain

>>126826067

>>126826087
Yes.

>>126826087

"in years" mostly means at least 5 years. But years is pretty long. I was NEET until a few months, so 3 years does feel longer.

ok trent, calm down, you're not that impressive

>>126819370
The Slip is great, Year Zero is the worst. If we don't count the bad witch, NTAE shit.

>>126820438
lol was this Woodstock 99?

>>126834988
94. they went on at like 2AM or something

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfV7NLCWiiU

>>126819285
second half is great, first half is meh. listening to it now it's obvious trent was getting serious about therapy which makes the lyrics bite if you're in a certain mindset but musically they're weak. the slip blows it out of the water

>>126820384
the glaring problem with broken is that it's ministry worship. fixed however is 11/10

>>126836101
the Broken movie is still cool tho
