Oh yeah, I forgot that one!

To be slightly more serious I like that album that is all black with the box with orange clouds in it. Can't remember the name. I thnk it was halo 6. It has Happiness in Slavery on it, and it's like 99 tracks.

If Wikipedia is to be believed, that one was [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click here to register]

Much like their response to The Twin Who shall Remain Unnamed, most western nations have enacted laws forbidding serious musicians above the age of fifteen from discussing Mr. Reznor's music in terms other than disdain. I find his marketing ideas and writings on the music industry to be very interesting though.

On an infinitesimally more serious note, I find it amusing that NIN tracks often pop up among the light background music that they play when I'm getting my hair cut. Perhaps it is a testament to Reznor's enduring genius that his music plays equally well at full volume in an industrial club, or quietly as the hair trimmers buzz away.

For me personally, Ghosts I-IV
its all instrumental, perfect listening music.
But I tend to be a fan of music without vocals.

Then again I do love NIN.
I dont give a shit what other people think about that, as it seems NIN induces alot of hate by some.

'Tis. I never knew because it was left behind by some kid that used to live with me. I think he stole it.

All of "The Downward Spiral."

Got a soft-spot for NIN, myself. A lot of his stuff is angst-by-numbers, but when he's good he's GOOD.
Downward Spiral & Year Zero are my faves. Best song....hmm....it's between :-

We're in this together now
The Good Soldier
The Hand that Feeds &
In This Twilight

I'll go by each album for shits and giggles

Pretty Hate Machine: That's What I Get

Broken: Last

The Downward Spiral: March of the Pigs (hard to choose one)

The Fragile: Into the Void (hard to choose one/between The Fragile, The Great Below, We're in this together, The Day the World Went Away and this)

With Teeth: All the Love in the World

Year Zero: Zero Sum

Year Zero Remixed: The Warning [Stefan Goodchild feat. Douduo N'Diaye Rose remix]

The Slip: Discipline

Ghosts: I don't remember which I liked the most...

The Fragile is my favorite album. La Mer is my favorite song.

03-21-2010, 11:36 PM

For me: Burn, Reptile, The Great Below

Thør · 03-22-2010, 02:57 AM

I've gotta say, A Warm Place on The Downward Spiral, or Leaving Hope on All That Cold Have Been, both are really beautiful

I almost put Everyday Is Exactly the Same and it is definitely a fucking amazing and emotional song, but I think All The Love in the World is great too, so, could be a tie I suppose.

Happiness in Slavery anyone?

apertureburn · 03-24-2010, 10:16 PM

i like "perfect drug" and "burn" as far as studio songs go, but when they play "march of the pigs" live its amazing to see that many people moving and all affected by eachother. its like watching an ocean made of humans.

Sacrisik · 03-25-2010, 04:16 PM

I can't say for sure myself. I listen to a different track depending on my mood. I have pretty much been in the mood at one point for most of his tracks... some more-so than others...

rewir3d · 03-25-2010, 05:06 PM

I am with "Sacrisik" but I do find myself listening to "Leaving Hope", "Something I Can Never Have", and "The Great Below" alot
