NIN Year Zero

    After giving a few listens I've decided it's awesome. His best work? eh...dunno. Maybe some of it. Certainly is awesome and parts of it remind me of Broken and Downward Spiral.

    I was a bit dissapointed as well. The first few songs on the album are pretty good, but generally I wasn't feeling it. With Teeth was a lot more solid.

    I wasn't a fan of With teeth, so ok songs, but nothing like the good ol stuff that rocked and felt like it had meaning

    getting this now Hope its decent, but not counting on it.

    Tool sounds like shit to be honest. I used to like them but got tired of them really quickly.

    NIN is one of my favourite bands... I'll check Year Zero as soon as possible. With Teeth had a few good songs but it was not their best album at all. Oh and Trent is also on QOTSA's new album (Era Vulgaris). One of the songs that he takes part in was released a few days ago and it sounds pretty cool. Damn catchy riff.

    (It's a legal download afaik, Josh Homme decided to release it since it's not in the album)

    Tool are great.

    This album, Year Zero, is also great! Hurrah! It has much more replayability value than With Teeth I think, as it is more of a single entity than a collection of random songs. Also, it's the first time Mr. Reznor has consistently not written about his own personal griefs, and to be honest, it's about time!

    I haven't listened to the entire thing yet, but it was completely commerical tracks from what I've heard and much more similar to With Teeth than his older stuff. Not bad, of course, but not really what you expect. With Teeth was cool, but Broken and Downward Spiral are still his best.

    album out soon. I still can't tell if their lyrics are bad, good, or so far one way they're the other. Better than whining about their girlfriends, I guess.

    never really got down with NIN; too slow, too emo, too art-house bullshit.

    Always preferred a bit of Tool or Soundgarden to get my rocks off to :S

    hijack: anyone a fan of NoMeansNo ?

    NiN are just unconvincing, mediocre rock. They're not even emo because that might require they come up with a catchy hook rather some bollocks rock chorus over some generic rock riff, which would be waaay to adventurous for them. There's nothing clever about them, their melodies suck, there's no depth. They're shite.

    Why do people still listen to this middle-of-the-road, 90s-esque rock?

    /rant.

    Pfffft.

    I think it's important when listening to NIN to keep in mind that it is basically the musical work of one man; NIN isn't a group, it's Trent Reznor. Sure, he has people who contribute and also help with some technical aspects, but he is the musical mind behind NIN, writing and composing.

    90s music kicks ass btw. Look at San Andreas' radio tracks; awesomeness!

    i don't think he meant 90's rock was bad (fkn better not have <_<) just that NIN are still stuck playing bad music that sounds like it belongs in a 90's bargain bin.

    there's lots of other 'one man bands' that are stunningly amazing.

    me, for example.

    I think NIN is awesome and getting awesomer.
