You can start by not listening to Nine Inch Nails because they're a bunch of edgy faggots who write shitty music aimed at other edgy faggots. Trent Reznor is a talentless hack.

Lord my path has gone astray
I'm just trying to find my way
Wandered here from far away
I'm just trying to find my way
You were never meant to see
All those things inside of me
Now that you have gone away
I'm just trying to find my way

I have made a great mistake
Pray the Lord my soul to take
The ghosts of who I used to be
I can feel them come for me
It looks as though they're here to stay
I'm just trying to find my way

Please
I never meant to
I never meant for this

I have been to every place
I have been to everywhere
I'm just trying to find my way

If you start with this there's not much point to go on, which makes the album's name fitting I guess.

>>73683507
For some reason (i don't even remember why) the first Nine Inch Nails album i listened was Hesitation Marks

I couldn't stand most of the tracks but the one that got me was "Various Methods of Escape", from Hesitation Marks i moved to some songs like The Fragile, Hurt and Something I Can Never Have

Then i started listening to With Teeth and loved it, moved to TDS and The Fragile AND Ghost (loved the ambient vibe)

So my trajectory was
>Hesitation Marks but hating it
>With Teeth and loving it
>TDS and The Fragile
>Still
>Ghost
>The Slip
>Trent Soundtracks
>Broken
>Pretty Hate Machine
>Back to Hesitation Marks now loving it
>Year Zero
>Everything else and loving it all (except Fixed and Year Zero Remixes)

>>73683507
Look for the WatchMojo top ten NIN songs and listen to the songs in exactly that order. WatchMojo is never wrong.

>because the average /mu/tant in 2017 is like 15 years old and doesn't remember when NIN and trent reznor were seen as being about as respectable and artistic as the average nu-metal/post-grunge band
I'm 29 and NIN was one of the few bands along with The Smashing Pumpkins that I respected while growing up. The nu metal stuff and post-grunge were pure shit, on the other hand. NIN was the only band that I could bond with the mallgoths over.

HM is definitely meant for NIN fans that are familiar with the entire discography and have been listening to it for years.

Actual NIN fans, not "i've listened to TDS and The Fragile" "NIN" "fans".
When you see someone declaring HM as shit, they're usually the kind of person that haven't explored the discography at all, or they're incredibly superficial and thick headed in general.

Usually the same kind of asshole that overpraises Not the Actual Events as the second coming of jesus christ.
(not that it's a bad entry, it's just their attitude about it that pisses me off).

>>73688076
Honestly the only NIN releases that I didn't like were With Teeth, and The Slip. On The Slip Trent slipped.

>>73688061
>Almost 30
>On a website for teenage faggots
It is a bit weird, isn't it?

>>73683572
Pretty hate machine sounds horribly dated, just start with Downward Spiral

>>73688114
The Slip is good but the trick is that only the live performance version of it is good.

There's a version of the album floating around that only contains the live sessions, get that, it's how the album was actually meant to be heard all along.

>>73688198
no Demon Seed though

plus recently Robin has been playing them on synths instead of real guitars so they became shit again anyway

literally my only complaint about the 2013-2014 cycle

>>73688120
>It is a bit weird, isn't it?
Tell me about it, but I've told other people on here that they think they'll leave, but they'll be back, and that's usually the case for 4channers in general.

I don't actually have that many good music discussions on /mu/, on behalf of the generational gap.

>>73688198
I was just mildly disappointed in it, but whatever, the album was free. I even liked Ghosts better, but Ghosts didn't have Reznor angsting through it all, just pure instrumentals.

With Teeth came out while I was in high school, and a lot of the tracks felt very cheesy to listen to, even for NIN. Good NIN was PHM through to Broken, and TDS.

>>73688432
Why are people surprised that Trent is on TP, anyway?

After he has said his entire life, in hundreds of interviews, that he's the biggest TP fan ever, used to watch TP episodes before each show, and literally wants to suck Lynch's dick?
Yet somehow it's weird or unusual that the two of them have a business relationship now?

>>73688471
>now

what is came back haunted
what is lost highway (1997)

>>73688471
>Why are people surprised that Trent is on TP, anyway?
I'm not, but TP is like the biggest parody of soap operas while being the ultimate soap opera. It is one mountain of cliches on top of another.

I typically hate soap operas but the show is clearly making fun of them while using its tropes and I can't help enjoy that fact.

>>73688471
>Yet somehow it's weird or unusual that the two of them have a business relationship now?

They've had a business relationship for decades, ever since Lynch's embarrassing "hello fellow kids" moment that was Lost Highway.

Enjoy all of Trent's other stuff, but I don't like the sound of those records.

why do we always have this thread about every artist? if they have under ~12 albums just listen to them in order

>b-but artists change styles and sometimes their early albums aren't that good
that's something you should decide for yourself, and if you're aware of the fact this is commonplace, surely not liking the first album you hear from an artist shouldn't deter you from following through and listening to the rest

if you actually want to "get into" the artist listen to their recorded output. if you just want to be able to keep up with the latest memes just listen to the one with the most ratings on rym or some shit. either way stop making this thread

New EP this month, right?
>>73689532
I'm here now, f a m. I've been trying to analyze Not The Actual Events for a while now, not sure why since it seems to be an obvious piece of an unfinished puzzle, espceially seeing how the EP is part of two up-coming EPs.
To me, it feels like Not The Actual Events picks off right where Hesitation Marks left off, I was always very fascinated by Hesitation Mark's frankly creepy and very dramatic last three tracks, in these three tracks, don't get me wrong, Hesitation Marks is very uncomfortable throughout from beginning to end upon close inspection, but these three last tracks are the very dark points, it is where a glimpse of that machine from TDS starts peeling itself in, very briefly. But it is visible,
to re-cap:
In Two: The protagonist cannot see the difference between his good/bad side, between Mr.Self Destruct and him, he is realizing they're one and the same
While I'm Still Here: The protagonist seems to be saying goodbye, this is his human side, realizing the machine is eating him up again.
Black Noise: The human side is erased.

At first I assumed that "While I'm Still Here/ Black Noise" was a suicide of some sort, death, well, it is death, but not the one I assumed, it is the death of the "human" side which the protagonist tried so much to keep throughout the album yep the dark side of his kept coming back, he is clearly suffering in Hesitation Marks but he is much more mellow, you can really notice it still if you look for it, he is like an actual person with depression, he DOESN'T want you to know.
Nn Not The Actual Events he is horrified of it coming back yet he accepts it and glorifies it in the final track.
In Burning Bright he calls everything he has done to make himself better, all the things he has built "pathetic", he is accepting that at his core he is a fucking monster.

Just wait and watch this theory being non-sense with the two coming EPs though.

>>73690435
It is funny, everyone keeps talking about how simple and accesible it is, yet for me, The Slip for me personally was the least accesible thing he has released, even more so than Not The Actual Events, I love The Slip now. It is agressivea s fuck at some points yet experimental amazingly in the second side

>>73691223
not bad, but looking bad it's pretty obvious that all of NTAE (and possibly a huge chunk of his earlier stuff) was Twin Peaks fanwank

>>73688120
>you should feel insecure about using the internet

have never understood this. unless you're on fucking neopets or something to with with actual children, why would anyone give a shit? in what world should someone feel odd about typing words sometimes on 4chan?

>>73691687
Nah, TDS does not have any connection to the Twin Peaks.
Annie thing is a pure concidence, the Annie part is one of the most personal parts of TDS for Trent, as Annie was a person for Trent, real life one whom he broke up with. Failed romance, real life one.
She's Gone Away references Reptile in the lyrics sheet. Sure it makes sense in the context of the episode, but shows and movies have used songs which fit the movie's narrative, even though the actual meaning behind the song was far different, it just highlights how strong music and intepration can be.

>>73691801
>the Annie part is one of the most personal parts of TDS for Trent

he made that up right on spot during that interview/Q&A

>>73691866
No, Lynch, pls, don't L Y N C H the entire NIN discography.

>>73691801
>>73691923
also, funny that you mention Reptile, as it totally references Laura Palmer's theme during the breakdown [the "please, don't hurt me" part when it's live]

not that it means much, there's a quite a few movie samples in it
