TDS is only superior to Broken by the standards that lead people to think Rings of Saturn is superior to Dying Fetus.
>Everything Broken does TDS does better.
it sometimes does it as good, but in much smaller quantities, and dilutes it in massive amounts of depressed Phil Collins vocals.

>>71779271
>year Zero was soffffffft and hesitation marks even more so.

They are better packages than Broken, Broken is all about just rage and that being it, Broken isn't really all that interesting, Wish and Last are pretty intense songs, but they don't have anything else going for them. The Downward Spiral has much more to offer, it has much richer soundscape.

Year Zero wasn't all that soft, the instrumentals were fucking brutal.

As for Hesitation Marks, it had some of his best work, like "I Would For You", "Satellite", "In Two" and "While I'm Still Here" it's a wonderful album.


Hesitation Marks may be a soft album, but it has a lot of layers and is greatly varied. NiN is much more than a metal/rock band, "Still", Hesitation Marks and "The Fragile are a great proof of that.

Trent sounds like such a passive-aggressive cunt sometimes

the kind of guy who gets kids just so that he can show them off and feel superior around his friends who didn't.

>>71779330
He sounds pretty agressive in that post, nothing passive about it.

As for Trent's kids, Trent did say he wanted a family ever since With_Teeth to The Slip era.

>>71779323
>Broken is all about just rage and that being it
which is exactly why it's his most interesting piece.

>Year Zero wasn't all that soft, the instrumentals were fucking brutal.
uh, sometimes there were distorted guitars, but the production made everything sound less abrasive and less percussive.

soundscapes, layers, variety etc... are just added value, if there isn't a solid rock foundation behind them, the result is LESS than a rock/metal album.

Hesitation Marks and The Fragile are great proofs of that.
And so does Antichrist Superstar, for the opposite reason: it's a solid rock album even without Trent's talent.

>>71779302
wrong. trent was an asshole who did this to tori:

>they met in l.a. she dropped her boyfriend for him, she had the keys to his house in new orleans. she went over there one day and all the locks were changed. she called from her car phone, and the number was changed. then she was standing there on the sidewalk wondering what the hell was going on, and trent had two bodyguards come out and throw her into her car.

>>71779495

>>71779380
Yet Broken really isn't all that interesting, there is almost no replay value to it all, there is nothing to catch the second around, expect for tracks like Hapiness In Slavery or Gave Up, the rest is kind of simple. There is no real theme in the entirety of the record, the tracks do not have any connection. Wish is as generic as they come. It's not bad, but with what comes later in discography it is nothing special.

Meanwhile The Downward Spiral is arguably even more agressive in parts and has better songs, there is no single track on Broken that even touches the quality of any track on The Downward Spiral. Invidual tracks and even as an entire album TDS is just better in every single possible way thanks to the variety and the concept the entire album has. The agression hits the listener in a much bigger force when it strikes suddenly out of nowhere, Broken has no real surprises. The Downward Spiral is really unstable which makes it all that more effective to my ears.

>the result is LESS than a rock/metal album.

The substance doesn't have to be hidden just within rock, that is what I at least believe. Broken is a nice preparation for TDS, that's what I see it as, it is important, without it TDS wouldn't be possible.

>almost no replay value at all
wrong
it's catchy enough to be replayed almost indefinitely

whereas his less catchy albums are only as replayable as the amount of little sound gizmos you can detect.

>arguably even more aggressive in parts
yeah, for spans of, like ten seconds.
>has better songs
they can't be better if they're less aggressive overall

>in every single possible way
not in the ways that matter: consistent aggressiveness and catchiness
And you're acting as if it didn't have any flaws. it does; namely the greater prominence of whiny Phil Collins vocals, the frequent lulls and the unsatisfying dramatic progression, which is a pretty big deal for an allegedly narrative album.

the concept of TDS is also pretty fucking hackneyed and isn't narrated in a very interesting or poetic way. But then again Trent has always sucked at lyrics. That wouldn't be an issue if it didn't seem to be so crucially important to the proper appreciation of the album, but apparently it is. And there isn't much to appreciate story-wise. If anything the concept of the album drags it down because of how incredibly mundane and ordinary it sounds compared to how outlandish the album itself sometimes sounds.

Broken is more efficient, more straightforward, with less bullshit, less compromises, less awkward moments. if it's a preparation to TDS then clearly something went wrong at some point, and I think it's when Trent decided to "restrain" himself after being shamed by the daughter of one of the guys who were killed by Charles Manson's goons

as a result it sounds more dramatic than Broken, but also weaker and less fully realized

>The substance doesn't have to be hidden just within rock, that is what I at least believe.
sure but if it's not rock it's gotta be another genre with an efficient formula that can be followed and improved successfully. Synthpop and EBM in the case of Pretty Hate Machine for example.

Albums that don't fall into clearly identifiable genres and still sound really satisfying are very rare and Trent's later output doesn't qualify.

Fuck, I'd be totally okay with Trent if he decided to make happy hardcore and eurobeat like H.P. Baxxter as long as he doesn't mangle it.

>>71778595
It's a fucking desert, there's nowhere to block.

With_Teeth is a great album if you remain faithful to Trent's vision of it being an albumdedicated to anthropomorphizing his addictions into a vile woman he's trying to break up with.

He then proceeded to go to Rick Rubin for advice on how to create an album that wouldn't nearly kill him like The Fragile nearly did. Probably not the best person to go to, but whatever.

He's definitely a bit of a drama llama - I remember at one point he got into a completely pointless bitchfest with Front Line Assembly because he said their songs 'didn't go anywhere' or some shit.

>>71781224

Then there was that time a bunch of his fangirls were shit talking Mariqueen during their engagement, suggesting she would make him relapse because she drinks. So Trent sent them instructions on Twitter on how to properly slit their wrists.

I don't think he likes people all that much.

Racialism aside, they don't really look out of place as a couple, they're very natural looking together.
