Most of the stuff up to The Fragile is worthwhile, but it's definitely a bit dated. Product of its time.

I was a huge fan in high skool. I've been avoiding their newer stuff, just because I don't feel like an angry high schooler anymore and didn't feel a need to return to that kind of material. I started catching up the other day, and the material has changed, at least after With Teeth. With Teeth has a couple of catchy songs, but I found it to be mostly poop. Year Zero is decent, but I don't like it as much as The Slip, which is full of genuinely catchy stuff. And, hey, it's not all self-indulgent and angst-ridden like his 90s stuff. Trent's political commentary is not subtle, but it is fun.

Like Reznor isn't emo. smh

I think the only material from him I've enjoyed is Downward Spiral. That's about it.

It just comes off as too busy for its own good. And I'm a Radiohead fan.

I like this song, but yeah, most of it's just too angsty for me now.

Head Like a Hole is still his best song.

Borys, you should listen to them.

NiN is the soundtrack to stomping wedding dresses.

Have you listened to Pretty Hate Machine? It :dressstomps TDS. I'll take the Broken EP over TDS, too.

broken is really his best work, i feel

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #16 on:** September 22, 2008, 01:00:13 PM »

I really need to give Broken a good listen, it seems.

Eric P · « **Reply #17 on:** September 22, 2008, 01:04:24 PM »

pretty hate machine is amazing, really esp given the context of where and when he was doing the album. however i feel that broken is his most pure work.

true story, i once played wish at a rave and a moshpit broke out.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #18 on:** September 22, 2008, 01:07:17 PM »

i've listened to pretty hate machine a couple of times, and while i liked it, it never really grabbed me like TDS

but i'm an angsty, emo teenager inside

Your new avatar just applies so well

I guess I have bad taste :'(

I'll check out Pretty Hate Machine.

They're ok. I think White Man nailed it when he said they were a product of their time. Some of their stuff just doesn't hold up 10+ years after its release.

They're worth a listen and I hear they put on a pretty good concert.

Yeah, it hasn't aged too well IMO. From a technical perspective there's a lot of impressive stuff on there, but I tried showing it to someone who'd never heard it before recently, and it didn't really impress.

Agree.

I find it's aged well too, unlike PHM.

Music elitism.

Where the insecure lock their individuality down.

I misread this, and now I want to draw a picture of an "individuality clown."

This plus Further Down the Spiral. I like The Downward Spiral, but as an overall album PHM is superior.

I saw Nine Inch Nails live last year and wasn't expecting much. I was blown away, left the show a much bigger fan than I went into it.

The NiN HD-DVD is so beautiful
