Fuck all the normtards who can't seperate good from bad. This isn't bad at all - not creative in any way. But the singer nails it and the production isn't taken to absurd modernity.

It's sounds close to a "remaster" , and I kinda enjoyed this shit.
>>
I like Reznor's version of Hurt better but Cash's benefits from it actually applying somewhat to his life more than to Reznor's and that he covered it shortly before he died. Cash's vocals on the cover are kind of monotonous and I like the music in Reznor's version more than the acoustic guitar in Cash's.

I really go back and forth on this one, on the one hand, I prefer old school industrial so I don't listen to Nine Inch Nails much but The Downward Spiral is a pretty good album and that song definitely holds up

But, Johnny Cash has more gems and though I don't really like much of his stuff after the 60's, that song is pretty great, but mostly when accompanied with the music video and the feels it brings

So, with video, the Johnny Cash version but just the song, the Nine Inch Nails version (which now makes me think of Rick and Morty)

>The Clash - Police on My Back (probably Brand New Cadillac but I've never actually heard the original)
>Big Star - Femme Fatale
>Bob Dylan - People Get Ready (and a bunch of others)

Conversely, all those more popular covers by This Mortal Coil are inferior to a significant degree, but I do respect them for drawing attention to those originals that people at the time didn't know existed...also, most Bob Dylan covers are nowhere near as good as the original even though so many artists used his songs to get on the charts, I might like Manfred Mann's Quinn the Eskimo better and maybe Ramblin' Jack Elliott's Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues but that's about it

The power of Hurt resonates best once you listen The Downward Spiral from beginning to end. It's the final act of a concept album about a man who killed God and quickly comes to regret it.

Cash's cover is good,but it feels like a one off, and it's made worse by Johnny Cash fans who just have to show up on the original version and shitpost like a fucking leafposter.

Johnny Cash's is simplified for the masses which leaves out the meaning of the original for something much simpler. Original is much more unique and has much more of a punch, Johnny Cash's vocals aren't that great in Hurt, without music video this cover is not all that powerful, it's all about that goddamn amazing music video which people refuse to give proper credit for, if that music video wasn't there, this would not be as effective.

Tren't Hurt is a better song overall with much more diverse vocals and better instrumentals.

It's not a bad version, but the way normies have sticked to it is really pissing me off.

The entire Downward Spiral album is literally a downward spiral into suicide. Hurt is the closing note of regret. No doubt it was sad Cash was sick and dying when he covered the song. But he was at he ending days of a long, fulfilled life. Trent's life was only just starting and already he was near collapse, and The Fragile, suicidal.

Fuck, that always gets me. I am genuinelly happy for Trent that he made it through, even though some tracks on Hesitation Marks points to that depression is still in there. He has medical depression so it's not going away I guess.

But goddamn, I am happy how he's doing and he didn't end up like Marilyn.

>>69460690
I don't know man, his voice doesn't have a power, it sounds like very monotous, meanwhile Trent's voice in Hurt goes to whispers to desperate cries of screaming and regret. To me personally Trent's performance appeals to me more.

I know that Cash's vocals have a different take on the song, from an old dying man, so this is a perfect way to showcase that. But I prefer "Hurt" to be a song about a depression, self loathing, drugs and regret.

Depression is a genuine thing that any one can suffer from. Trent was pretty fucked up, cocaine, medical depression, booze abuse.

It's really easy to look at a depressed person and just call them "le whiny boys". This might be why suicides are much more common in men, since they are taken less seriously by society when they suffer from suicidal thoughts.

Have you ever tried being a full fledged Alcoholic, cocaine user who dabbled in Crack earlier, then nearly died from a Pulp Fiction style heroin overdose?

That era was miserable as fuck for him. And don't give me the whole "boohoo rich rockstar angst". Reznor was in full JUST mode by 2001 when it became clear that in his intoxicated haze, his financial manager had stolen millions off him.

A song about a man who through his obession for power and control has fallen and everyone who was beside him has left, Mr. Self Destruct, the voice inside his head has let him put a gun againts his head as he failed to save the old himself. He took down God in his search for power, yet it did not gave him happiness and it only made him spiral far down towards the bottom. Now that the Mr. Self Destruct has faded, he looks back upon his life with regrets, he fought anything in the life that controlled him, only to realize that through his journey to become a God he has become what he hated and fought againts.

I'll take Cash's deadpan monotony over Reznor's cringe-inducing melodramatic angst any day of the week. We get it, you're a deep individual with deep feelings and deep troubles. Riveting.

I immediately identified it as the superior version without seeing the video so I'm inclined to disagree. It's pretty obvious to anyone putting a modicum of thought into the subject how the different contexts (singers) of the track influence the meaning of the lyrics.

The wish to escape from being controlled isn't tied to just being a teenager, or young. The Dowwnard Spiral's idea is that every one controls you and always will be controlled, every one in the world wants your personality to be suited to their own likings, your lover, friends, religion, goverment. This isn't exclusive to teenagers, it is very simple and does not require any thought to write off anything as "edgy teen" stuff.

Writting of Trent's vocals as "crange inducing melodramatic" is the same as writting of Cash's vocals as monotoney and lifeless, both of them serve their purpose. Both meanings of the songs are rich and are very personal. I do not know how you can say "emotional depth of a teacup" when you consider that NIN's Hurt is an ending of The Downward Spiral where the protagonist looks back at all what has happeend, connecting everything flawlessly together and closing the album.

>That's demonstrably false, seeing as how I'm the _reason_ for the discussion.
Are you the OP, this discussion started thanks to this thread's existence.

What always bothered me the most about Cash's version was just how simple it is compared to NIN's version.

And people wonder why men's suicide rates are so high. The loss of self isn't restricted to being a teenager, you experience it with everything you go through, how you're expected to be molded for everyone's taste in society no matter how free you think you may be. Literally look at the album name and see how it connects to Hurt.

>yfw Mariqueen just had child number 3 and as far as I can tell, the gender hasn't been revealed, so if it's a daughter, this is probably going to be her in 18 years.

Don't also forget there are men who are 30 now and have been depressed for like twelve years and don't even remember how it feels to be "normal"

Depression doesn't equal sadness or grief.

It's a fucking ilness, people.

Heard it, misses the point of the original, like everyone did, it's supposed to be disgusting, not a celebration of sex but the opposite. It's about a guy hating himself and using various things to get that out of his head, being addicted to drugs and a person, let it be through sexual means or not.

I'm in agreement with you. It must really grate to hear from old degenerates like Tommy Lee that he would fuck chicks to Closer.

If they want a song to fuck to, Reznor has specifically pointed out 'The Only Time' as being solely about fucking.

It's really frustrating how people refuse to listen to lyrics closely
>HELP ME!
>YOU CAN HAVE MY EVERYTHING
>YOU GET ME CLOSER TO GOD
> HELP ME GET AWAY FROM MYSELF

It's like people's ears become deaf until the chorus kicks in.

You're doing the same thing, you're trying to pull the ladder up so only you get to be sad.

Yeah, They don't seem to realize that Closer is really when the the arrogance of the protagonist in the earlier songs finally ends and the horrible realization of what he's becoming sets in. Then leads to "Ruiner", "The Becoming," and "I Do Not Want This" which are absolute nightmare fuel songs.

This is later the case with Year Zero. Everyone treats it as some sort of BDSM anthem when it's literally about torture - this during an era when Trent just learned his music was actually used at Guantanamo .

With the song on Year Zero called "Meet Your Master"*

>Then leads to "Ruiner", "The Becoming," and "I Do Not Want This" which are absolute nightmare fuel songs.

And then just literal represantion of a massacre, of losing yourself absolutely in Big Man With A Gun, which still remains to be the most intense song from NIN's line up. It's either about protagonist raping some one or murdering some one, going to the point of no return, it's fucking terrifying.

Then you have Eraser Reptile and The Downward Spiral, this album literally becomes more and more fucked up as it goes on.

I don't even care. I'll go to the grave saying Devo's version is better than the Stones'.

That song's really dark, sadly the lyrics are hard to understand, it sounds like Trent is screaming out "GODDAMN, JULIAN, GONNA MAKE ME CUM FAASTER"

The Cash version also has this annoying Rubin trick where he just sends the entire song into the red for increased effect towards the end. Cringeworthy.

The turntable wankery is much more subtle and used in a great way, the production is great, Corey's at the peak of his game, the riffs are the grooviest Slipknot got and it actually is quite atmospheric at times. Lyrics still suck tho

Also The AV Club Wang Chung cover of Third Planet, maybe not better but at least as good.
