Who here likes it? I bought it today, and I'm listening to it now... pretty cool, although I haven't listened to it all yet... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nin? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like Trent, but for some unknown reason, I've never REALLY gotten into his music, as great as it is. I think it's his voice... I HATE his voice for some reason. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, this is my first real intro to NIN... I've heard a few songs here and there, but never listened to a whole album... I noticed a few people placed this album as number one on their top 10 lists and stuff, so I figured I'd pick it up... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I was healthily obssessed up through The Downward Spiral. My friend keeps praising the Fragile and I'd like to hear it, but I can't really get into that dark vibe anymore. My life has become an upward spiral, which is quite far from anything Reznor seems to be going after. I'm sure it's quite good though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have the Fragile in MP3 form, but I've never had time to digest it all. Not that I don't like NIN, but there's more music out there that I'm more interested in, and it's time consuming to ''get to know'' a big double album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Fragile is amazing but the new live album is great it is like, "a best of", there is even a pigface track on there. NIN rule (I am now doing the rock sign with my hand) |
||||||||
|

|
|
I love nine inch nails, if you like them MAKE SURE YOU GET the DVD! Its awsome. I have almost all the HALOS. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I must admit I have them all too and the stuff he has done with Pigface and FLA |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's he done with FLA? |

Trent Reznor is a fat racist |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Fragile is indeed an incredible album. By far my favorite by him |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How is he a racist? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I have been into nin for quite a while but I didn't care too much for the Fragile. I was hoping for some more growth musically. With bands like autechre, squarepusher and coil on his Nothing lable I expected more. I found the whole thing a little dull. All very good stuff I just expected more from nin. btw: I'm a little curious as to what prompted the "Trent Reznor is a fat racist" post. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as am i. first, trent's not fat. but who cares if he were. second, he is not a racist. if you mean against blacks, his dating preference is for BLACK women, and he's remixed the neptunes (pharrell williams is black, chad hugo is asian) and has worked with dr. dre. he's also into d'angelo, aaliyah, erykah badu, a tribe called quest, etc. etc. so i hope you don't mean against blacks. against any other race i seriously doubt as i've never heard or read a single disparaging remark he's made against a race and he seems like a decent human being to me. as for the fragile, that album is thus far trent's greatest achievement. for 2 years after it came out i could not even listen to the downward spiral because it sounded paltry in comparison to the intricate and intelligent sonic layers of the fragile. from a musical point of view it is a superior album. i can enjoy TDS again now finally except for heresy and mr. self-destruct. i used to be obsessed with nin, now i like radiohead and aphex twin more, and listen to other cd's more than nin albums, but nin still remains high on my list of respectable and intriguing artists. new nin material (that he's recording) has been described as violent, minimalist synth techno, so we'll see how that goes. |

yeah speaking of Radiohead, their My Iron Lung EP was there at the store where I bought The Fragile... it's an import... I should've bought it as well, cause I'm a MAD Radiohead fan... anyone hear this EP? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have it I like it a lot... has a version acoustic of creep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never heard NIN dont even know how do they sound... i just know a track from the "lost higway" soundtrack, its good but never felt the temptation of listening to them (or him) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"the perfect drug" from that soundtrack is an anomaly of sorts... that was the only nin song he put out between 1994 and 1999 and it was really drum 'n' bass influenced, unlike before or after. i LOVE the my iron lung ep very much. 2 of my favorite radiohead songs are on it: permanent daylight (their tribute to sonic youth, done in their style - i named my show after this song) and punch drunk lovesick singalong. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He had another song on the soundtrack as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he had 2 as "trent reznor" :) don't try to correct me on nin, YOU WILL LOSE!!!! whereas one of the trent tracks was non-musical, "driver down" - which i am sure you are referring to - is a full song, but not typical nin. if you want to be technical, he released a full ALBUM of music in 1996 as the quake soundtrack. but he didn't want that to be credited to nin, even though on the game it says "sound and music: trent reznor & nine inch nails". he also did a whole 40 minute EP of david bowie "i'm afraid of americans" remixes but that's not new nin either. finally, he also remixed a song w/ notorious big, busta rhymes, and a certain rapper whose name i won't mention, but even the instrumental of that shouldn't be called nin. ahem. |
||||||||

|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
On the comment that suggested that Reznor is a racist.. I heard that he called the Max Cavalera's replacement in Sepultura (whose name escapes me) a 'dumb nigger' or something to that extent. I have no idea whether or not he really made the comment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's how rumors start, you know. "someone told me they heard that..." if you didn't hear it personally, see him write it online, or read it in a very reputable magazine, it's not worth spreading around. knowing trent's personality and collaborations i highly doubt he said anything of the sort. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed... I highly doubt he would say that, I mean who even if they believed so, would say that to the world??? I mean only in privacy do people talk about "dumb niggers" or something like that. I mean...... no. |
||||||||
|

I am trying to get into NiN through my brother (who is a big fan). I like alot of it. The Fragile is my favourite, but mainly just the left disc. Awesome stuff. Most of right is too similar, and some of it is just stupid and immature like Starf@#kers. I also like Piggy from The Downward Spiral. The problem with that sorta music is that it's too dark and angry too listen to any time. You REALLY have to get into the mood of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I'll have to pick up that ep... I listened to some samples on Amazon.com, and it sounds like The Bends... and I love The Bends... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it would be nice if their were more emotions covered... now I haven't fully digested this album obviously, so correct me if I'm wrong, but it's definately mostly angry music here... a few songs which are a bit uplifting maybe, but even those are kinda downers... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jebus, don't make such a deal out of this pewrsons comment. I'm sure s/he though it was humorous, or maybe s/he believes it but just ignore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This album is by far my most favorite "studio" album by Mr. Reznor :) He has incredible talent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't call the fragile an angry album. the only angry songs on it, in my mind, are somewhat damaged and no, you don't. the other fierce ones have greater elements of cynicism, bitterness, and disappointment. his earlier stuff is more angry (especially the killer "broken" ep, wow), he was a little too old to do the angry stuff when he made the fragile. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Fragile was made with a steady dose of PROZAC!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the fragile is an amazing piece of work. my appreciaton grew from seeing about 9 nails shows in 2000....seeing how trent realized it LIVE made the CD extra special. while i like the DVD.....it doesn't do the tour justice.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw quoth......i agree PROZAC had something to do with it...teeee heee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's up with all this Halo talk... what are they about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
halo numbers are assigned to every commercial release by nin, whether singles, ep's, albums, or video/dvd sets. there are 17 so far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahhh, I see... cool... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you have a boyfriend? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that album flows perfectly, its pretty scary at some points if you listen to it after a session |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with the flow part of your remark.....however what do you mean by 'after a session?' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah the Fragile flows perfectly I agree.. althoug I enjoy his earlier works better.... such as Pretty Hate Machine, or Furhter Down the Spiral.... even The Downward Spiral. Those ARE essential for any NIN fan. then Broken and then Fixed... are good to own as well. The singles are amazing.... Although the new NIN DVD just AMAZED me.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about reznors work on the quake soundtrack? really dark ambient stuff on there. i put it in my cdcollection since i don't play the game anymore. the music is still strong, esp. that song with the low 'lion noises', or something.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
arent the two albums left and right supposed to represent the left and right side of the brain hence the right one's got the harder and wilder stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Possibly.. but I doubt it.. anyone else hear that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard something about the left & right side, not the brain reference specifically........but that sounds interesting...hmmmmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
didn't he do quake two also? either way both quake soundtracks r great. good music just to work, drive, code, or stare mindlessly into the computer screen... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehe quoth.....you're too funny yes i do have a bf.....he's a regular on this message board (= |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, he didn't do quake 2.. i think quake 2 was a bunch of rob zombie songs and misc. metal/rock/bullshit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never heard any NIN!!!!! i am beggining to feel an alien in this MB for not knowing NIN |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i'd like to reflect on the fragile, i think it was disappointing, i read in OOR magazine about the way it was concieved: the first year trent just let flow out all kind music. this made somekind of atmosperic album, which he could have used for a soundtrack or something, but then he spent another year making this music into nin-songs. And that last thing, i think, he shouldn't have done, otherwise there had been real progression, now the only songs i only totally like are (as far as i see from the sleeve now): just like you imagined, pilgrimage, la mer, the great below, ripe and the completely nin and therefor fun starfucker, inc.. btw was the confirmation of the fact that this album was less good for me the remix album which for the downward spiral was genius but for the fragile was crap, and therefor the first nin i didnt buy. i hope i didn't bore the crap out of you with this review, i just had to get it off my chest |
