Marilyn Manson or Nine Inch Nails?

Trent's always been great. Manson sucks now

NIN just because they made Downward Spiral and MM has made nothing good aside from a single.

NIN is infinitely better, because Closer

I like both a lot but I'd say Manson

The Downward Spiral is a pretty great Industrial Rock album and I enjoy it

can't say the same for anything from MM so NIN

NIN, and it's not even close.

why

>Ghosts I-IV
>Downward Spiral
>Broken

Manson has some cool things, but nothing near Trent

Idk I just love mechanical animals and his image is really cool. But I can see why most people say NIN is superior

There's actually a book that has a NIN vs. Manson chapter I read a long time ago. I think the closing sentence on the debate was something like "Ultimately, the most interesting thing Trent Reznor has ever created might be Marilyn Manson" (since Reznor signed MM to Nothing and took them on tour back in the day).

I think Reznor's recent work and musical evolution have been more impressive than Manson's, but Manson's work from The Spooky Kids' debut up to Holy Wood was so diverse and intense that he's definitely earned his place in rock music history. Hesitation Marks was such an ambitious album and it totally paid off for NIN though, whereas it's REALLY hard to take Manson seriously as an artist these days. Everything after Golden Age has felt forced.

Yeah I can agree with you about everything after golden age being forced but the pale emperor is pretty good

Idk I'd be gay for a day to spend some quality time with the Eat Me Drink Me Manson

Can anyone recommend me some god tier NIN songs after The Fragile album? Haven't kept up with Trent's music

>>61753727
Same, there was something very sexy and inviting about him at that period in time.

>>61753839
Year Zero and The Slip are pretty good

>>61753839
Sunspots, Getting Smaller, Only, Every Day Is Exactly the Same, The Perfect Drug (not actually sure if it came after The Fragile or not, too lazy to look it up), I'm Afraid of Americans (V1), God Given, Meet Your Master, In This Twilight, Zero-Sum

>>61753696
I've heard a few tracks and it's clear Manson is one doing music he feels passionate about and engaged with, it's just not the kind of music I'm into. Biker bar rock with a bluesy lyrical twinge performed by The Artist Formerly Known as The God of Fuck doesn't work for me (most "white boy blues" doesn't). Just my opinion, and I think TPE gives all Manson's fans a reason to be optimistic about his future musical development.

They're both good for different reasons. I enjoy both. Manson seems to be getting his groove back. The next album should be good with Twiggy back on board. I think that Trent is more consistent but slightly less fun. Manson is instant gratification and visceral. Trent is controlled pleasure and more cerebral.

I think that now that their biggest inspiration has passed away we're going to see some really good albums. I especially hope it'll snap Manson out of his stupor and make him realize how much time he's wasted.

Twiggy was behind a lot of the writing in Burn Villain and it was pretty terrible. But I agree with your assessment of Trent and Manson as artists. You described them both really well.

>>61754185
Born Villain*, my bad.

>>61754185
That's fair. I did think that the songs he was involved in were more interesting than the rest but you're right, it was a pretty boring listen.
