So I've been reading about Trent Reznor and his escapades

hybrid theory

he does curls in the squat rack

Listening to Mr. Self Destruct right now. It's fantastic. The instrumentals are fucking fantastic. Reminds me almost of a Silent Hill kind of ambience or Death Grips.

Pretty Hate Machine and Ghosts I-IV are the albums that got me into them

Start with Pretty Hate Machine.

>>74100138
I'd start with Downward Spiral and continue with The Fragile

>>74100146
I second Hybrid Theory.

Smile, Trent!

Currently most of the way through Closer. Probably the worst track on the album so far. But it's fucking great, easily a 9/10

the fragile

>>74100632
Start with Downward Spiral. Then move to the Fragile. Those are the two 10/10s imo. Pretty Hate Machine and With Teeth are also very good, and Ghosts I-IV are some great instrumentals if you like that sort of thing. I really like his last two EPs, so if you liked everything else those are must listens. Most other stuff is skippable imo

>>74100138
Honestly, Year Zero. It's the best entry-level NIN record.

>>74100138
what are/were his escapades on /mu/?

>>74100850
he just dropped in and said hi, gave us a file to prove its him and called someone a piece of shit. maybe some other stuff i missed.

>>74100850
He also posted on /v/ from his tour bus once.

>>74100983
that one has been proved to be bullshit actually

>>74100138

Start with Year Zero. If you like the more rock-oriented stuff on the record, go to The Downward Spiral, then The Fragile, then The Slip, then With Teeth, then Broken, then Pretty Hate Machine, then fill out the remainder of the discography if you make it that far and are still into NIN at that point.

If you like the mellower or more electronic stuff on Year Zero, go to The Slip, then Hesitation Marks, then Ghosts I-IV, then With Teeth, then The Fragile, then The Downward Spiral, then Pretty Hate Machine, and then fill out the remainder of the discography if you make it that far and are still into NIN at that point.

>>74101006
Damn. Honestly kinda changes my whole outlook on life.

>>74101077
Basically IMO it isn't a good move to start with NIN's most acclaimed records because they give you a pretty narrow view on what NIN was prior to them and what it became after them. Plus, I find that starting with an artist's most acclaimed work can either turn you off because you think it's overrated or not for you, or turn you off the rest of the discography because you've listened to the best stuff first without any sense of build-up or context as to the remainder of the discography.

>>74100880
can you give a link to the archive?

Don't listen to NiN it just gives you false hopes. You think one day you will be cool and loved like Trent but you are all alone and miserable. Thanks for nothing Trent. Fucking Chad normie faggot.

Huge fan of NIN since 1994 here. I think the best way would be to listen to the albums and remix EPs in chronological order, to hear how the music changed from era to era.
The order I listened to was Downward Spiral, Broken, PHM, Fixed, Further Down the Spiral, The Fragile, Things Falling Apart.
I'm not a fan of his work after the Fragile era, but I've definitely heard worse records.

>>74100138
Depends on your tastes in music currently. If you enjoy straightforward alt rock, do With Teeth. If you like electronic music, Year Zero and Hesitation Marks. If you like metal or harder alt rock, The Downward Spiral or Broken. If you love all of them, The Fragile.

Imagine still listening to NIN. Imagine not getting into them at 14, and ceasing to listen to them at ~17. This board reeks of arrested development and regression.

>>74104566
Wow, that guy is top levels of #woke.

>>74102961
Yeah I'm also surprised with the lackluster praise for Broken, it's part of what I feel is the best run from PHM all the way up to And All That Could Have Been, which is one of the few seminal live albums out there for me.

>>74104570
I was 13 when I started listening to NIN.
I was 17 when I stopped listening to NIN
I was 27 when I came back.

I'm guessing you fall in the 18-22 range.

Nigger women are nowhere as bad as nigger men and a select few are actually, daresay, worth filling with white seed.

>>74104614
The PHM tracks on AATCHB are absolutely godly. I can barely listen to the studio versions now because of how perfect they are on that live album.

>>74104643
This. I didn't like any post Fragile NIN when I first got into them, but coming back I found a new appreciation for With Teeth and Hesitation Marks. You need some life experience to appreciate what he's doing on those.

Seconded, but the halos contain so many gems, like EL-P's Only remix, or Fennesz reworking In This Twilight.

For Glockenspiel reasons, I always thought The Good Soldier is a great track.

no really. he's losing fucking weight and it's freaking me out when combing the fatalism of 4/5 songs on Add Violence..

>>74106278
look how fucking energetic and fit he is, though

doesn't even look 40

>>74106278
>>74106337
Also his vocals are better than ever, his screams in "The Idea Of You, Branches Bones, Burning Bright and Not Anymore" are fucking amazing, he hasn't sounded this great in years, especially in digital recording.
His "This Isn't The Place" does sound kidna too sincere though, I swear to god he seems to be tearing up in it, I hope he is doing okay, Cornell and Bowie died, his friends and people he knew.

This EP trilogy also seems much more pesronal than Year Zero as we pressumed

>>74106364
I thought so too; even though I liked Hesitation Marks I thought that and all the down tuning meant he was basically spent as a singer.
