Lol I still haven't listened to that. It just doesn't attract me. I'll do it someday, for sure, but right now there are many thing that interest me more.

Same. It's been sat in my iTunes for a while now. Outwardly and obvious dark music is a real turn-off for me.

One of the finest, darkest and emotional albums I've ever listened to.

This album was a huge part of my childhood. I don't return to it often anymore, but it's still brilliant.

There is much better and much more convincingly menacing/dark/nihilistic music out there. Nine Inch Sound forced and cheesy in every way possible. To me at least.

See that's why I'm put off the album. Sadness and depression should come across as natural. The lyrics in Hurt sound like a 12 year who wanted to sound edgy wrote. The reason the Johnny Cash version works is because it's sung by such an old man, and the honesty contrasts with someone who might otherwise be reserved.
