Other than Pearl Jam, who else is there?

I had tickets to see NIN and Marilyn Manson when I was 12, but I got in trouble for some reason and my parents gave them away. Probably for the best since I can’t imagine what sitting through MM’s show with my dad would have been like.

Downward Spiral and Broken hold up pretty well I think, I play them from time to time. HLAH and Sin are both great songs too.

The broken ep was the one that really struck a chord with me, but I was in high school when the downward spiral was huge, and popular girls kind of ruined it for me. That and Dookie.

Popular girls can have a dark side, or have you never seen twin peaks

Shit, I never got to tell you guys about seeing the Nine Inch Nails concert where the OG Broken/The Downward Spiral crew rejoined onstage last month.

You can read that here, it's long and rambling but tl;dr - it was fucking amazing

As a full album experience, absolutely. But there are such massive highs on this thing I would never dismiss it completely. I think it holds its own just fine in the age of the playlist.

I've also been listening to a bunch of post-Fragile NIN this week. I think Hesitation Marks is the best of the bunch. And I agree that Year Zero basically sucks. Trent gets a little too cute with his vocals throughout, and there's no layering or atmosphere to most of these tracks. I don't mind "Survivalism", though.

Man, I’m just not into a NIN phase at all. The EPs were a let down back in the day and that kinda threw me off, but I know I’ll come back.

I do love With Teeth and The Slip. HM is one i enjoyed when it came out and kinda never went back to.

Year Zero, I think I listened to that one once, and I fucking own the Cd!

Hesitation Marks gets a lot of spins. I really enjoyed all the Ghosts releases as well but would really love a proper album this year.

I really need to go back and listen to the NIN stuff of the past 15 years. I recall being into Year Zero at the time but i haven't revisited it since. I've listened to most of the newer stuff that came out after that but I just never go back to it after one or two listens.
