Fred McGriff Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 well since just about everything since the fragile has sucked from nine inch nails. and really the downward spiral was the last truly solid mistake-free album. there have been a few hits though since the fragile. obviously the "still" disc is mostly great. but after that era, from with teeth, year zero, and the slip i think "the warning" from year zero represents his best effort and the general direction nin should have gone many years ago. it's hard to throw ghosts into the equation but in general a lot of the instrumental stuff is way better than the angsty jock jams nin make. there's an instrumental or two off of the slip that are pretty great. corona radiata i think. and there was one lyric track on the slip that i liked too, echoplex i believe. i really think a decent album can be constructed from the last 3 albums, or last 4 including ghosts, to make an apology album to the fans if we could go back in time and release instead of with teeth.

Year Zero - 10/10 The Slip - 10/10 With Teeth - 10/10 Broken - 10/10 TDS - 9/10 Ghosts - 9/10 Pretty Hate Machine - 8/10 The Fragile (I hate this album) - 2/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing Day Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I reckon everyone who likes the fragile has had big relationship problems and still can't get over it. Or their grandmother died (Fragile trivia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred McGriff Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 the fragile would've been great if it were 1 disc. TDS was the end of NIN as far as i'm concerned. i reckon anyone who likes newer nin likes to glean their political views from roided out rockers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdamAnchorman Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 its good that you stuck with NIN post-fragile, i gave up and stopped listening. although your list has given me specific tracks to seek out, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tht tne Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 i used to be really into phish and they were verifiably awesome from 1992 to arguably 1997 but around 2000 they started sucking, and well.. i had this fm broadcast where they were playing and when the song ended someone in the crowd yelled "stop sucking, trey" to the guitarist maybe someone needs to tell trent reznor to stop sucking is all i'm saying it certainly didn't work for trey but you never really know my pals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxing Day Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 LOL , nononnonontrolololo , i think Trent Reznor is a pretentious vagina. , But yeah a one disc Fragile would have been great. Somewhat Damaged The Frail The Wretched We're in this together Just Like you Imagined Pilgrimage La Mer The Great Below The Way Out Is Through Into The Void Please Complication The Big Come down Underneath it all 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I like the music of 90s NIN a fair bit, but the lyrics are painfully emo. 00s NIN has lyrics that aren't nearly as emo, so they/he get(s) some points there. Loses some points for the tracks that sound too generic rock band, though. I get the feeling 10s NIN could be the best now that he's finally beginning to indulge in instrumental stuff more.

Boxing Day Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I like NIN , but i feel he is trying(always tried) too hard to be different (making him a bit pretentious) His music could be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 ^That is one thing I like about the newer stuff. On the early albums it feels like he's trying to make some sort of elaborate masterpiece for the ages. Now it sounds like he's just making music for the fun of it.

Muflontillah Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 yeah, ...that thing... plus I got some DVD with it... I still haven´t tried it but it should be some stuff you can use to create your own brand new NIN tracks with :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dese manz hatin Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Interesting that you stick to post-fragile stuff. That's when Reznor gets shit IMO. Sunspots is by far the best.

Guest Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Personally i liked The Fragile - but yeah it would be better as one disc (but what double disc album wouldn't be better if you cut the weaker tracks off?) With teeth had a few good tracks - the favorite being Right Where It Belongs. The Line Begins To Blur i liked too. It grew on me a bit. I liked most of Year Zero - didn't like The Slip though. Ghost was pretty good but not really memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tht tne Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I'm serious. to me it's angry music and I just don't feel like listening to it these days. one man's trash is another man's treasure because i feel like catching up on all the nin i ignored when it was popular but i probably won't try to lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 This thread made me laugh at boxing days taste at nin but respect tht tne more because I was super into phish at that time to (showing my age a lot there) but year zero and The slip are total crap. If I was stuck on a desert island and I was allowed one nin album I have to admit it would be ghosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
