>>74821456
Definitely the comfiest NIN

The Year Zero/Ghosts/The Slip era came out during the height of my NIN fandom so I'll always have a soft spot for those albums, even if they're not quite as ground-breaking as what came before

My top 5

Hesitation Marks (underrated)
The Social Network
The Fragile
The Downward Spiral
Ghosts I-IV

>>74823121
>>74823286
quit with the abbreviations.

>>74821456

No abrevs make erething quick

>>74824379
>The Social Network
ain't NI- sorry, Nine Inch Nails

>>74821456
pfffffft

The Fragile
Still
The Downward Spiral
With Teeth
Ghosts I - IV

I find the lack of Still love concerning

>>74821456
This is my most played NIN album. It may become my favorite one too, not sure why. It's fucking amazing.

>>74824508
yeah knowingly broke rules don't care

>>74824442
what? can't understand what you are saying =P

>>74824441
I used to enjoy rehearsals more of The Slip, then I suddenly started liking the album versions more.

I feel like songs like Letting You and Echoplex are far better on the album.

1,000,000 and Discipline might as well be different songs, but I still think I prefer their album versions.

Head Down is far better on the album.


I really like how slippery and messed up the album version sounds like, rehearsals sound much more polished and cleaner.

>PUT THE GUN IN MY MOUTH, CLOSE YOUR >EYES, BLOW MY FUUUCKING BRAINS OUT.

This album is pretty edgy and dark looking back at it (in a good NIN sorta way), what was going through Trent's mind at the time? Not much is said about it, but it felt really dark to me.

it's just a movie refeence, like about half of the lyrics he's ever written. strange how most of the fans don't seem to realize it

>>74824770
Or, it's The Downward Spiral reference, seeing how that song also references Hurt's very lyric in its own title and in the lyrics too "I feel a million miles away".

Worth mentioning, but I bet you already know this, but The Four of Us Are Dying reference Twilight Zone episode by the same name

>>74824815
so was the title of Where Is Everybody. the Seed whatever version of All The Love also has some Twilight Zone samples. man's a huge closet nerd.

>>74824943
The dude also made the soundtrack for Quake/Call Of Duty and played tons of Doom during the TDS/Broken era. And his Twitter picture is from an old arcade game which he loves. Let's not even forget about that Less Than music video which referenced Polibyius.
And Year Zero's ARG is pretty nerdy too, the concept feels much more sci-fi than political.

I really like it when Trent's inner nerd starts showing like this.

Ghosts was ground-breaking in terms of it's release.

>>74825846
Radiohead did it before

>>74825870
Did what?
Release an three hour instrumental album?
Release fully free album? (NOT IN A SHTITY QUALITY)

What did they do before NIN?

>>74825900
>fully free

Ghosts wasn't this.

>>74825870
When did Radiohead use this selling model? Genuinely asking.

You guys do know that The Slip only exists as a free release that he made in three weeks right?

Its not meant to be a full, finished LP, just an experiment.

"Described by Reznor as “Garage Electronics”, The Slip was the result of an inspired three weeks following the completion of Ghosts I-IV. An experiment in working with a compressed timeline, the results make for a noisy, sloppy and exciting listen with several songs that have been live staples."

>only exists

there's a CD/DVD combo you can purchase. it's supposed to be a limited thing but not really, you can still buy them at shows

>>74825987
And?

>Its not meant to be a full, finished LP, just an experiment.
But it is a full finished LP, retard. Trent himself said it was an EP that grew into LP lenght.

Just because it is an "experiment" doesn't mean that it doesn't count as an album, almost everything Trent does is some kind of experiment one way or another, what are you trying to prove?

It's an amazing fucking album that Trent managed to amazingly made in three weeks, this doesn't put down the album, if anything it makes it all the more impressive, since I can't tell it was made in three weeks. And I doubt that anyone else would know that if they just listened to it.

probably January 18 next year, there's a secret message in The Background World

>>74827355
Holy shit I didn't know that. That's a pretty clever little Easter egg.

Am I the only who feels like parts of this album were Year Zero leftovers? Especially the second half with tracks like "Lights in the Sky" and "Corona Radiata".

Not complaining I love those tracks but they have always felt like they were part of the Year Zero narrative.

>>74828705
Honestly, not really, the only song that fit into that would be "Letting You" but even then, it seems more like "March Of The Pigs" kinda deal

>>74821456
IT KEEPS GROWING
I CAN FEEL IT BREATHE
