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.

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

in my opinion Still is better than anything he has done before it, its a much more mature record and the instrumentals are outstanding.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
