As far as one of music's functions as an emotion inducing
and enhancing drug, the downward spiral is one of my pills
of choice for feelings of inwardly and outwardly directed
rage and hate (another is the eyes of stanley pain).

I think that release was strong because he really was
expressing those emotions instead of just putting on an
image for profit.

But his latest releases are mediocre, following the
predictable downhill graph of the entire music industry.

Everything up to The Fragile is genius.

It is like Guitar Hero except there is a guitar, drums and
microphone. As the song plays, you have to play along by
holding the colored "fret" that displays on the screen and
strum on time or hitting the correct colored drum pad etc.

The microphone is like karaoke except it monitors how well
you follow the pitch and scores you on it.

well if there was a rockband NIN version, it would have to
contain the following in the box:

1x fishnet shirt, medium density
1x clear plastic bottle of water (for the purpose of pouring
the contents over...)
1x generic MIDI controller keyboard (because Reznor found
out pretty early on that pouring water over 3 Model D
MiniMoogs gets expensive after a while)
1x drummer (so you can throw your mic stand at him and make
him bleed)
1x obligatory goth girl to stand at the front of your living
room with a hand made sign saying "Trent i love you, i want
you to fuck me like an animal lol"

I was all about NIN growing up. If I had never heard Broken
and Pretty Hate Machine I may have never gotten interested
in industrial music and later IDM music.

Well don't start now...

I don't like KMFDM, Front Line Assembly and that stuff too
much anymore but I still appreciate some old ministry,
skinny puppy, coil etc.

Anyway some of the best stuff is NIN's remix albums,
particularly Fixed and Further Down the Spiral. Great mixes
by Aphex, Coil, Foetus, etc. If you want to get something
get some of that stuff.

nin/reznor has done some great stuff... broken and
(especially) downward spiral are amazing.

fragile didn't work for me as a whole but there are some
killer moments on there (namely the instrumentals).

with teeth was incredibly weak.

year zero is much better than I was expecting; some very
good tracks (some crap ones as well).

---------------

p.s. the rock band vid game tracks coming out in the nin
pack are march of the pigs, the collector and perfect drug.

That NIN is considered industrial? They are kind of the
alterna-rock/industrial hybrid that happened in the late 80s
into the 90s. There is glam, metal, synth-pop and all that
in there too. Pop Will Eat Itself, Prick, Nitzer Ebb,
Stabbing Westward, Die Warzau, Sister Machine Gun, Chemlab,
etc. were all bands that kind of existed in that
post-industrial/glam/synth-pop/alterna-rock scene.

Industrial is such a loose term anyway. Someone could be
talking about Orgy or Zoviet France when they say it.

broken is great, tds is pretty great, the fragile is great,
phm is great. everything after aatchb is pretty lousy, check
that album for a good introduction though. it's live, but
the quality is great and the performances are too.

having said that i think Year Zero is somewhat a return to
form... hopefully Year Zero part 2 will be even better,
although i wouldn't mind waiting a few years for it, he
seems to make better music when he obsesses and perfects it
over time developing his ideas fully... ie, the fragile
