when i got the remix album, i didn't like the fragile at all. but i instantly loved the remixes (with the exception of the starfuckers remixes - that's easily the worst song on either album). the telefon tel aviv one, the wretched remix - those tracks are flawless, imo. but after i gave the fragile a second chance, i was really glad i did. i think it's a fantastic album. not perfect, but really good anyway. if you give tf another shot, try starting with the second disc - it's better overall, i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't find still, is fragile any good? or the downward spiral? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think so, but i have no idea if you'd like them or not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i'll give them a listen..it can't hurt :) the problem i have with this sort of music is that it sounds a bit childish, like one out of many pop bands, playing something for the angry teenagers but it get's a bit sill when you're getting close to 30..i would probably really like it if i could get those thoughts out of my head.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i don't know about all that. maybe it's true... i guess it is - they are goth rock stars. but i guess i just don't care. there's stupidity in lots of great music - it's all relative. i wonder what people would say about nin if they didn't have cheesy lyrics. do i think he's becoming excessively arrogant and full of shit? yeah, i do. does that mean his new album automatically sucks? not necessarily. i'll wait until i've heard the cd before i pass judgement on it. |

these guys are nuts. if you wanna know if you like NIN, listen to 'the downward spiral'. that's the only way you'll know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

tolstoyed: I think I know what tracks you would like... first listen to 'Leaving Hope', then 'Adrift and at Peace' and 'Gone, Still'. Those are all from the album Still and are reccomended because of your love of Susumu Yokota, I think these kind of tracks you would like best. They are some of his best work and are superb instrumentals, especially Leving Hope, i'm pretty certain you would like that. I think anyones opinion of NIN would change after listening to a few tracks off stil. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think that goes without saying, but we are talking about the new nin, not the good nin from back in the day :) r40f i went from loving the fragile to hating it - go figure, i would give the music a strong thumbs up and the lyrics a big fat thumbs down, she should really only do instrumentals or something, so bogus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool, thanks fellow memebers, i shall look for 'still' then! and im getting downward spiral already! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in my opinion Still is better than anything he has done before it, its a much more mature record and the instrumentals are outstanding. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
looking forward to hearing your opinion on 'Leaving Hope', I absolutely love that track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Still is good but it's not representative of NIN's body of work at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right, that's why i thought tolstoyed would like it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fruedian slip? she = he |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i noticed that and i approve. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Still is good but it's not representative of NIN's body of work at all." yes but its a side of NIN that some may appreciate more than the usual NIN. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes yes i agree, a more music minus the agressive / goth side, i really like that side the best |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds good but i can't find still...there's tons of everything except for that album :) i'll keep looking though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha okay...i was just stating for informational purposes only. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
further was my fav. RIP nin. . . a long time ago, like 11 years ago RIP |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the line begins to blur. it's cheesy and stuff, but whatev. just because trent reznor is stupid doesnt mean his music has to be bad too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on the other hand i cant stand his elitist attitude. and that he authentically seems to believe to be in a postion to be elitist. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there was a torrent somewhere for it, in flac to boot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
reznor. . . wasn't that a bad guy in super mario world for SNES???? yes i believe it was a trio of rhinos ocsillating |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
has anyone heard "getting smaller" yet? i still can't get ahold of it. i'm not exactly in with the in on the nin boards. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DeLtoiD > indeed, one of the bosses was called Reznor. don't know if it's an "easter egg" or a coincidence... : ) mimi > you go! ^^ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i found it now, not flacs but i tink this will do, thanks though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Uzim, you've made my day -- even if the song sucks, my curiousity is appeased. Thanks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like getting smaller. sounds like the international noise consipracy who i cant stand. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there should be about 9 tracks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooh, definitely not feeling that song |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i got all 9 queued, only got 2 so far though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im listening to the downward spiral now, but i just don't dig this ..and it's odd because i like some marilyn manson for example.. hmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the downward spiral to put it in perspective was released in 94, and is mostly electronic - its got some classic stuff on it, might be too agressive for you now being you know....old, *ducks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
therefore im getting several albums :) i go an compilation of traditional music from nepal today, so it may not be the best time for me to be getting into nin.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i will run down the list of tracks from downward.. that i think you will like: 1. Mr. Self Destruct skip 2. Piggy give it a listen, you might like it 3. Heresy not the usual nin, aggression, but worth a listen 4. March Of The Pigs skip 5. Closer you may know this one already 6. Ruiner give it a listen, you might like it 7. The Becoming very good track, chilled out and hard at the same time 8. I Do Not Want This good in some places week in others 9. Big Man With A Gun skip 10. A Warm Place best track on this album, definitly give this a try 11. Eraser skip 12. Reptile skip, but you may like it 13. The Downward Spiral skip, ditto 14. Hurt you may know this one too. there you go |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tolstoyed, you should download Sin from Pretty Hate Machine, you would probably like it! also, Ruiner from TDS is fantastic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in my opinion, broken is a much better album than TDS. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Getting smaller is ok, not as good as The Line Begins To Blur though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i never like broken, but its got some really good stuff on it, but not really my cup of tea, im more of a pretty hate machine, downward spiral kind of guy. the fragile has its moments as well, and well the perfect drug was absolutely horrible, that marked the downfall of nin for me. but natural born killers soundtrack was a+ - so all in all trent is very hit or miss, i wouldnt be surprised if this new one is a total miss, with a name like with teath, you know he is at least trying to be bringing it back to the broken aggression, but trent has made some beautiful stuff imo, he should try to take his time and put out something beautiful, verses angry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
trent needs wrenna for the aggro stuff to work |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh well, in that case, i guess we just have much different taste in nin. :) because broken is my favorite overall and the perfect drug is one of my favorite nin tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, oh well - thats cool though - broken is good, just never stuck with me, i own it and everything - i really like it, but not on the same level as downward spiral for me, i really like fixed too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he might like the first few minutes of "eraser". that has a nice build. and in NO way is "in a warm place" the best track on that album. even within his work of instrumentals I think it's pretty poor. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man, i really have detuned ears for this sort of music..it all sounds almost the same to me..i'll have a proper listen in the next days, thanks for recommendations everyone! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Piggy is best on that album. I listen to it now and still like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But as for the new stuff. Oh man, the Hand That Feeds is SO bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you sir are a...well you know there is a place for this behavior, well its all just tastes really - i guess mine seem to be getting a bit better, ooohhh |
