A great artist/band who is liked by everyone (I think) and has managed that through being successful in both mainstream and alternative circles.
I recently realised how much I love With Teeth despite it perhaps being disregarded by hardcore NIN fans. Not a bad track on there and throughout it maintains a perfect atmosphere. Pearljammer chose it as an example on the opening/closing thread and that's so true. All The Love In The World is probably my favourite song by him/them and Right Where It Belongs is quite beautiful.
But his/they're first two albums (and Broken EP) are brilliant too.Year Zero and The Slip are pretty good. And then there's The Fragile... :?... the less said the better. Really need to hear Ghosts I-IV
Man, NIN has so many extraordinary albums, even though none of them are actually perfect. If I had to name one, though, it'd be The Fragile, since it was my first major NIN album, along with having a really personal connection with me.
This seems a decent place to ask......I've heard The Downward Spiral and am pretty apathetic about it, mostly because it does not to me sound to be very dark at all compared to what I expected. Are their any other Nine Inch Nails albums which anyone thinks I might like more? Is one of them actually any weirder or more experimental? Or on the other side of the coin is there one where the obvious pop undercurrent is allowed out and not obscured?
I've only heard Downward Spiral and was frankly underwhelmed by it. I think an artist like James Thirwell does this kind of thing much better and I don't see that NIN add anything particularly interesting to the table.
As with a lot of artists that I discover for the first time, the first album I listen to of theirs is my favourite and what I see as their best. As many would disagree, Year Zero is a great concept album and I see this as a highlight of Reznor's career. For me, the album is good but combined with the promotion around the album, I see it as a standout.
