Fav song : March of the Pigs
I'm a kitty. ...Meow.

Its nice to see so many people interested in Trents work. Looking at most of the past post I can see a lot of people know the history of his lable company, and the rise of Manson. I listen to both Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails daily, and I must say that it never gets old.
I have heared from a lot of people that the album "[With_Teeth]" was not up to their 'expectations after the powerful and raw effects of "Pretty Hate Machine" the seemingly hypnotic and engaging lyrics of " The Downward Spiral", especially "The Fragile" That many that are born after the 90s would have come to know as the peek of NIN. I have to say that [With_Teeth] showed evolution from the standards and exploration of musical capability.
Though I must say that, Survivalism...is not to my liking, it is very experimental, and Trents vocals are deffinatly being tested, I think they compromised there originality with evolution.

Yes. But I do agree that his past work is Trent's finest. The Downward Spiral will no doubt forever be called his best album, and since his new stuff is pretty different than what he has been doing in the past, people who are so used to hearing one style from NIN (and people that don't like change in general) will be against With Teeth and most likely his upcoming album too. I think people need to give it a chance, that's all. You can't judge an album from one song, especially with a band like NIN. Trent likes to experiment with his music, and as far as I'm concerned, anything he does, I will most definitely give a chance (and I end up liking anyway!).I have heared from a lot of people that the album "[With_Teeth]" was not up to their 'expectations after the powerful and raw effects of "Pretty Hate Machine" the seemingly hypnotic and engaging lyrics of " The Downward Spiral", especially "The Fragile" That many that are born after the 90s would have come to know as the peek of NIN.

The new songs I'm not sure I like or not.
They are really repetitive.
I still love the band though.
And Trent is hott haha.
Anyway, I'm seeing them live in about 3 weeks.
Awesome.
The Downward Spiral is (I think) their best album.
I really like Pretty Hate Machine though...(And The Fragile)
Since With Teeth, he’s kind of gone into a more mellow introspection rather then the furious anger he had on the first few albums. Maybe it shows personal evolution, but I think that it is a step back musically. Maybe it'll gel better on the next album, or the album after that, but With Teeth was still noticeably worse then The Downward Spiral (haven't got around to getting The Fragile yet). I also think it's worth mentioning that, whatever music he's doing now: it isn't industrial.
That said: Favorite Tracks.

Yes my friends year zero is coming!
If you want to listen to their songs, there are several sites that will let you listen to them
I would highly recommend Survivalism.

I meant the song, it's Survivalism != Survival.

Alright here's my two cent...whatever that means.
I reallly reallly like their old stuff, and I'm sorry but when they went off the deep end of industrial to me ALL their songs started sounding the same...it's frustrating.
But whatever I guess that's just my opinion.
I like the songs like Closer, Every day is exactly the same, Only, the hand that feeds, Mr Self Destruct, and Happiness in Slavery.

Year Zero could the best album released in the last three years, I think.
Whoa. Haven't been here in...forever!
Okay. Well. Regarding their new cd, I haven't formed a definite opinion of it. It is very different. It is not the same sound anymore, for sure (more along the lines of Depeche Mode-sounding). I have the album, but I haven't gotten the chance to listen to it in its entirety, being so busy lately (and also I'm sharing it with my boyfriend).
From what I heard, it is pretty good. There are some really good songs on there. Trent has grown with his music, as all artists do (well, really should), and I respect that. It's unfair in my point of view to compare all his recent work to the Downward Spiral, since he's changed musically and as a person. I agree that his past work is probably going to be golden and his current work bronze, but still. (I'm just a NIN fan either way. So much respect for Trent!)
Also, I don't understand the bias that is going around (not on this forum, just talk among people I know) that "since the album is political, it sucks". Can someone explain this sort of twisted mentality to me?
Anyway. I might post at a later date on further thoughts on the album, once I get a better feel of it.

I don't know much about NIN. They're one of those bands where I wanted to look into more of their music, but I never did. The only thing I really know about them is that Richard Patrick (frontman of Filter/Army of Anyone; I love both bands to death) was a touring guitarist for them for about two years early on in their careers.
I should check out some of their stuff sometime, though.
Yes! You will be converted!
No, they are worth looking into. I suggest getting their older stuff, most notably The Downward Spiral and The Fragile.
Sorry for the over-enthusiasm. I'll sit down now!

I'm in love with their new single "Survivalism".
so,has anyone bought their new album?
The new album is ok...
Not sure if I like it or dislike it yet.
I'm finding it a bit repetitive so far.
I'm seeing them live TOMORROW NIGHT!!!
Yay!
How awesome.
I'm hoping so.
It'll be good to swoon over Trent anyway.
Hmm I still don't know about the new album.
I went to the city last night to meet up with a friend who lives in Cairns but is here for work. . . . . the whole city was flooded with NIN fans. . . . black everywhere
Now I'll give you my opinion of Year Zero.
Okay. Well. The album has really grown on me. At first I wasn't too sure about it, because it is really different. Some of it is a bit repetitive, but it grows on you the more you listen. Trent's vocals are weird sometimes as well (most notably on Capital G) but I think overall that Year Zero is great. It's not his best, of course, but I don't think any fans should disregard it automatically. Like With Teeth, it takes some getting used to, and once you listen to it repeatedly, you like it more and more.
My favorite songs are The Good Solider, Capital G (it's catchy ;-;), My Violent Heart (true Trent lyrics :P), God Given (my favorite so far), The Greater Good, and Another Version of the Truth. Actually...they're all sort of growing on me. :D
And please do not judge the whole album off of Survivalism. It is one of the weakest songs on the album in my opinion. There are way better songs than that one!
I will be commenting more later on when I hear other people's input. ^^/)

Nine Inch Nails are fantastic!
I got to see them in concert on Wednesday, which was really cool cos the other two shows got rescheduled for September.
I'm not into the older stuff that much, but I do like the newer stuff.

Have you done this before(?):
Expose the Year Zero CD's front to high heat( like a lamp) and keep it like that for over like 30 seconds or more. See what happens to the front.
DO NOT: expose it to a candle,flame,or stove top(you might burn it)
Yes yes! The colors change when heated. The idea is that it will turn white whenever you play the cd, and whenever it cools down, it will go back to dark. It's pretty neat. The first time I saw it, I freaked out though. I was all "wtf is wrong with my cd?!"Have you done this before(?):

There are also weblinks on the booklet and I think the cd cover too. I never been to them, but they were used for promotional purposes before the release. I think that's pretty nifty.
I just want to say that I think it's great that Trent controls almost everything he puts out now. Most artists and bands are in the control of the record executives. Trent does everything almost independently. I think that's why NIN has lasted so long, rather than going away after one hit.
Oops, I rambled. Sorry. xD
