NIN are godly

[TylerTheNuke]

agree, disagree?

 

[borninblood]

Not goodly, but very good.

 

[Sacred Profane]

Very very good!

 

[ResistExistence]

I wouldn't go as far as godly, but they have some really great material, for sure.

 

[TylerTheNuke]

The fragile owns me. SO does with teeth.

 

[A1a23]

I think they're decent. I use to listen to them a lot back in the day.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Broken and Spiral are great.

 

[Astrum]

i dont like them in general, but they put out a few pretty cool songs.

 

[TylerTheNuke]

Broken and Spiral are great.

Those albums feel more ametuerish to me. They have great energy and passion, but albums like the fragile and with teeth are just so much more, how do I put this, artistically mature? classier? I don't know the right word. Mabye graceful. TDS was my all time favorite album during my 13ish year old tweenage angst stage. Broken is great for whenever I just want some banging good anger.

I used to be a huge fan of them. I still appreciate Trent Reznor's musical skill, and it takes some skill to be depressed for so long as well. Great lyricist as well. Hell, I think I'm going to listen to some now.

 

[IWP]

Not my cup of tea, but they're decent.

I enjoyed The Fragile but felt that songwise and emotion wise it just doesn't stack up to Broken or Spiral. With Teeth just flat out bored me. Saw them on the With Teeth tour though, excellent show.

To each his own, I suppose. I really liked with teeth though. I hated it at first because it was so simple, but by now I see the simplicity as a virtue. Great pop shouldn't be complex. Music like that just has to go straight for the emotions and hooks. I find with teeth to be NIN's most flawless album. As for the fragile, some songs aren't that great, I must admit. Ripe (with decay), we're in this together now, the wretched, pilgrimage, the way out is through, and many more absolute classics are here though. WHen I have the time to listen to the whole thing, it is a very rewarding experiance.

NIN are ok from a musical standpoint. Although, I get tired of music being politicized. Just because you are in a band, does not mean I want your political opinion.

 

[Connacht]

The seventh day God didn't rest, but created The Downward Spiral.

 

[Alex78]

The Downward Spiral is really awesome and unique. The Fragile was kind of disappointing I think.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Not a big fan, but With Teeth was a decent album.

 

[ResistExistence]

Being real into atmospheric music, I thought The Fragile (while not their best) was really cool. I found the spacey/noise based passages pretty interesting.

 

[TylerTheNuke]

Am I the only one who likes the fragile the best? I think ripe w/ decay is their best song ever.

I like NIN but they're not metal!
