Thanks for the videos. They were ok, I liked the first one better. I prefer nin though, but I'll check them out all the same.

I like "Sin" and "Wish" and their other more upbeat songs
Not so much of a fan of the slower songs but I like their lyrics.

I liked him/them when I was younger. Still like Further Down the Spiral but usually I would just rather listen to EHC's Kiss the Goat or Satan's Lil Helpers.
In my youth I liked them more. I still have a great fondness for The Downward Spiral. But a combination of me growing out of it and their later albums starting to drag led me away from being a real fan.
I listened the shit out of With Teeth whenever I played Diablo 2, and to this day, whenever I hear any of the songs on that album, I get an overwhelming urge to get on my Smiterdin and rape some Ubers.
I love NIN, and one of these days I'm going to buy/download/find all of the music that Trent Reznor has made.

Hmmm, I know a bit of NIN.
Strange enough though, the song 'Closer' never spoke to me. I remember a girlfriend of mine going on about 'Fuck you like an animal', 'Feel you on the inside' with layers of rough sounds on the background... But when I actually heard it, it sounded like something electro with a goth vibe. I was expecting something more heavy, more metal, really.
I also have the free to download version of Ghosts I-IV and most of the songs seem pretty 'meh' to me.
However, I really dig the song "Just Like You Imagined", I first heard it in the trailer of 300. So I might check out 'The Fragile' album to see if everything else on the CD is as good.

Yeah I gotta say the fragile is pretty darned good. It didn't sell all that well but it's darn worth it. It's pretty big too do there'll be something here that you will like.Arqus_Zed said:
I've listened to NIN since I was in jr. high about 17 years ago, so yeah, I've listened to them for quite a while. I think I've owned almost every album they've released except for a couple of the new albums.
The Fragile is an excellent album, probably my favorite as well!

Ok, I'll check em out. I like nin because there's so many layers of sound as background noise, and all the songs have such good lyrics and tunes. I'm not really into shitty music, I like to think NIN is quality stuff.letterbomber223 said:
I'd be a big fan of NIN, but I do realise that some of their output is fairly dreadful. I'm looking at you, The Fragile. 
Honestly, if you have those three...
You should download the slip, it's free from nin.com uh probably also year zero but apart from that the only other album you should get is ghosts.

I'm a massive NIN fan and i'm kinda hurt no-one has mentioned PHM! His best album by far, probably because the addition of Vrenna to the mix just added something to it, and his work on the original alice was awesome. After that the fragile takes it for me, its just got such a wide range of sounds on it that its impossible to know where its going next. Can certainly see how messed up he was when making it. Also We're in this together now will always hold a special place in my heart
It's fairly good. The drumming was good but it never really launched up and above those few loops of drumming and a little background noise. It wasn't bad, just not as.. Involved.. As I thought it would be.letterbomber223 said:Multi-layered is good. That's what got me into industrial. For some reason I can't link youtube videos but you may enjoy Photek a lot more techstep/darkstep than industrial, but hey. It's not about the lyrics, though he does use some vocal samples. Try youtubing 'Ni Ten Ichi by Photek'TacticalAssassin1 said:
The taiko drumming bits are top-notch
Nine Inch Nails has been my favorite band since I was 7, and I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to NIN.
Favorite album would have to be tie between The Downward Spiral and The Fragile.
My current Favorite songs are: Big Man With A Gun, Somewhat Damaged, We're in this Together, La Mar and Wish.
I have seen the Broken movie its ok but nothing earth shattering.
I have a bunch of NIN Live DVD's including: And All That Could Have Been, Beside you in Time and Another Version of the Truth: The Gift.
I do like the HDA EP and hope they come out with some more stuff.
Also the first time I saw the uncut Closer video I had nightmares (I was 8)

Is it worth me getting the live DVDs?ANImaniac89 said:
Do you think he will start doing international tours again? I've never been to one so I'm hoping he comes down to Australia again.
