I can't get into NIN, although I've not really tried.

I have friends that rave about them so I spose I should find some time. What's the best starting album?

Yeah, go for The Downward Spiral. Don't be scared or shocked too much at first. :D It's a deep, perfect yet chaotic album that is EVERYTHING NIN is.

However, if you want something a bit more basic and less chaotic go for The Slip. That album is much more in line with what NIN is now-a loose alt-industrial-instrumental band. The Downward Spiral scares a lot of people off. The Slip is a little teaser of what NIN is. After that, you can jump right on in-with the exception of With Teeth, every NIN album is a 4.5/5 or higher, and every album is wildly different.

The Fragile really is the last one you should listen to, as it's tough and most people dislike it at first because it's so slow and melancholic. But once you take it in, :eek:

Wind Sorcerer

The Downward Spiral. You'll dislike it at first because of the noisy-ness, but it'll grow on you.

Definitely The Downward Spiral. If you can't get into that album, don't bother.
I couldn't at first and now I love it so ha. :D

Only go for The Downward Spiral if you plan on taking up the album as a whole on one go. Half of the songs dont even have the same impact if you listen to them individually. If thats all you want to do then go for Broken since its basically a small EP of The Downward Spiral's specific sound and taken a bit accessible and straightforward. TDS is imo however the least accessible release. There's too many structures of concepts needing to be grasped for but it grows on each listen.

The Fragile is more of the same but the experimentality and progressivity is alot more expanded, as well as alot more melodic. Its concepts and themes are far less subtle which in some ways make it less interesting, but its also a bit deeper as well, and with songs such as Into The Void, Starfuckers Inc., Even Deeper and The Big Come Down, its alot more user friendly.

As a starting point though, at this point, The Slip is the most accessible, not only cause its an amalgamut of everything modern NIN is, but also cause its completely free, so its quite a good starting point. With Teeth is pretty much The Slip if it had a price tag, had more tracks and generally alot more of a grittier structure.

Pretty Hate Machine is a nifty little gem, in some ways it feels alot more "fresh" when you listen to it now for some reason. Its straight up dark, smooth, synth-pop. The structures are NIN typical but the general sound is quite different.

Year Zero is also an album better off taken a whole but the difference is most tracks work seperately as well, probably cause this one has alot more of an electronic and drone sound instead of acoustics. About 90% of the album is just electronic and was made on Rezor's laptop, which is quite funny when you think of since he did the album while touring and he quite literally spent an unordinarily small time in making it, yet its arguably his most prestiegous and biggest release ever made.

PHM is NIN's best album, fact.

It's heavy, dirty, sexy and is packed with ch0000000ns. Srsly, Terrible Lie, Sin, Down In It, That's What I Get, etc, NIN don't top those songs.

Carbo

12-04-2010, 02:19 PM

Head Like A Hole is probably the best track from there, only if that opinion stems from what it turns into in a live context.

But as stand alone tracks then Down In It, That's What I Get and Ringfinger come to mind for me. I wish the two former were played live more. Down In It at Woodstock = sex.

You should post this in that 'controversial opinions' thread. Bound to attract some comment. Unlike my digs about the Runaways. :LOL:

I love that record. Especially perhaps, since it was my first and all.

I love 'em all though. Lately it's been Broken that gets spins. :D

Yea I'll argue with PHM....not his best album. I absolutely love it, but it sounds soooo dated. And then you've got the clunky, teenage angst-ridden lyrics.....but that's pretty much a constant with NIN. Count how many times he uses words like "decay".

Yea don't get me wrong, I'm a pretty big NIN fan ever since The Downward Spiral came out.

Fucking hell, compared to my lyrics, Pretty Hate Machine has been written by a intellectual adult :LOL:

Mine don't read like a depressed teenager's journal, they are a depressed teenager's journal :stunned:

I know it's off topic, but I'd like to commit to paper (or internet space) that I should definitely make my lyrics less emo.

Possibly, up until With Teeth came out. I, for one, think his lyrics are amazing, and that he is one of the best lyricists in the business. He captures human emotion perfectly-it being immature or not. Not to mention The Downward Spiral's lyrics are quite deep, and much more abstract than a depressed teenager's journal. With Teeth's lyrics were shit, with the exception of the last few songs on the album. The Slip has some great lyrics, however.

Can't go wrong with The Downward Spiral or Broken (the EP). The Fragile nicely encapsulates their sound and it is very epic and brilliant. Those three are great to start with.

Wind Sorcerer

15-06-2010, 07:08 PM

I think TDS would be a good place to start. It will need a few spins though.

The How To Destroy Angels EP may not be a NIN album, but it is very similar to NIN's With Teeth/Year Zero sound. It's free aswell, so there's nothing to loose.

TDS is one of the only albums that really isn't overrated. March of the Pigs is just pure abrasion, Closer is just so, dirty, Ruiner is so out of control, A Warm Place is pure bliss, and Hurt is just, depressing. Reptile literally makes you feel dirty yourself. It's perfect.

The Fragile and Year Zero are perfect as well. Pretty Hate Machine is good, but is just so dated now. Broken is good but overwhelming, and With Teeth's lyrics are horrific. Ghosts is great, but an experiment, and kind of sloppy, and The Slip is great, but feels like an EP.

TDS is one of the only albums that really isn't overrated.

You can't say something like this. It's an entirely subjective matter, and in all honesty I do find TDS very overrated on the ocassion.

It's one of the only NIN albums where I cant stand listening to the centerpieces without hearing the rest of the album at one go. It's meant to be digested as a whole. The only songs that I can hear from the album on their own is he entire first half up until Ruiner, and then Reptile and Hurt, otherwise it's extremely dull for me.

The Fragile is a bit of the same but the difference there is that I like the music better and seems like an upgrade over TDS. It stands as my favorite NIN album.

On another note I am bitter because Trent has underplayed Down In It live. It deserved more attention. The Woodstock performance is killer.

PHM really only comes alive when you've experienced it in a live sense. Other than that it's a groovy pants album that on its own feels less NIN and more synth pop. Then again Purest Feeling is for most of the part Trent trying to be classic Ministry so no surprise there.

Which reminds me; goddammit Trent. We never got Down In It and That's What I Get as often as it should have been.

For me, PHM is the raw essence of NIN/Trent.

Not to say his other masterpieces, The Downward Spiral, The Fragile and Year Zero, aren't so-to-speak as 'NIN' as PHM, but since I first discovered NIN, tracks like Down In It, Sin, Terrible Lie and Head Like A Hole have always been the songs that define their sound to my ears.

The soundtrack for The Social Network is excellent. I prefer it much, much more to Ghosts purely because it seems to have an actual context attached to it and I think it's a lot more moodier and darker than Ghosts.

I'm still waiting to see/hear it together with the film. I've heard a couple tracks and it sounds promising, but very Ghosts-like.

A Warm Place, Leaving Hope, and And All That Could Have Been are perfect songs. I only wish I could have been at one of the two shows where they played the whole TDS album live. I can't even begin to imagine how amazing A Warm Place would sound live in person. I saw a youtube video of the Webster Hall version, and did a guitar cover of it.

Also, no song gets me riled up more than Somewhat Damaged.

I think I remember Trent Reznor saying "Nine Inch Nails is not dead" - does anyone know, if they'll ever be back on stage?

The fact that you never saw them live does not make them worse.
And NIN is indeed not dead. Just on a break from the whole touring.

I'm really liking Hurt again. :happy: I think not playing it live for two years due to being 'retired' helps.

What albums would you say are the best to listen to first?

With Teeth easily. After that The Fragile.

Yeah, then go for The Downward Spiral :)

Absolutely nothing accesible about that album.

Shall download With Teeth at some point soon then :D Listened to The Slip the other day, and I think I like it! A few of the tracks sounded a bit like random noise, but I'm sure I'll get there...

I 'got' The Downward Spiral first time. :erm: I'm weird.

The Slip is probably the best to start with since, y'know, it's free. It's not perfect but it's not a bad representation of what NIN is either.

I, for one, was totally hooked by the lyrics overall and the idea of album structure.

It's an amazing album, it's just not accessible.

I liked it on first listen. However, the rest of their back catalogue fails to appeal to me whatsoever.:unsure:

Really liking With Teeth too. Gonna have a listen to The Downward Spiral properly at some point soon!

And I read that Trent's taking a break from touring at the moment...Is there any more news on that? Or is that still the situation?

That's still the situation. He's working on How To Destroy Angels and will probably tour that project for a bit before going back to NIN.

There is a lot of potential in that band but it-s not quite realised still. I look forward to the album though.

Yeah, it needs time to develop. I can't wait to hear the new album. Hope it's better than the previous release.

Trent said that it'll have a new sound from the EP, which is good because the EP was quite NIN-ish at times. Also, I don't get all the hatin' on Mariqueen. I'm sure Trent married her for a reason

How To Destroy Angels sounds like a Year Zero-light with female vocals. That's not a bad thing.

Yeah but HTDA isn't NIN so that's why they aren't releasing their debut until fall (it was supposed to come out spring-early summer) because they wanted to find their own sound. I'm interested to hear what they've been up to :happy:

I don't get it either. I don't hate her, just like I don't hate Trent. But I don't love the project as much as I do NIN because it doesn't have its own voice yet. I think if Trent lets go of the reins a bit more, and lets Mariqueen handle a little more of the music, then we could see it flourish with its own identity. Because as of right now, it's very much a Trent-central project.

Sampler and pre-orders for Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ST available: http://www.nullco.com/GDT/usd.php

From TR:

For the last fourteen months Atticus and I have been hard at work on David Fincher’s “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”. We laughed, we cried, we lost our minds and in the process made some of the most beautiful and disturbing music of our careers. The result is a sprawling three-hour opus that I am happy to announce is available for pre-order right now for as low as $11.99. The full release will be available in one week - December 9th.

You have two options right now:

VIsit iTunes here (http://www.itunes.com/thegirlwiththedragontattoo) where you can immediately download Karen O’s and our version of Led Zepplin’s “Immigrant Song” when you pre-order the soundtrack for $11.99.
You will also be able to exclusively watch the legendary 8-minute trailer you may have heard about (no purchase necessary obviously). We scored this trailer separately from the film, BTW.

Or…

Visit our store here (http://nullco.com/GDT). We’re offering a variety of purchasing options including multiple format high-quality digital files, CDs and a really nice limited edition deluxe package containing vinyl and a flash drive.
In addition, RIGHT NOW (http://nullco.com/GDT) you can download a six-track, 35 minute sampler with no purchase necessary.

Or…
Live the dream and visit both! Atticus and I are very proud of the film and our work, we hope you enjoy.

Best,
TR

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo opens 12/21 in the US.

And I might as well add in a shout out to the other music forum that I <3. Echoing The Sound (ETS) has been redesigned and refreshed. It might be a little buggy still since it just got out of beta, but it's back after being down for a while. :happy: Come join us!
