NIN aren't very good on the whole

[mr.shawn37]

NIN are hit and miss with me. Tracks like Closer are classic, but albums on the whole get a bit boring after a while.

Tool has had many more gems than NIN ever and will ever have.

You missed out the 4th option.

That being the listener understanRAB all that and just doesn`t think it`s done very well. Which is the catagory I fit into. I can 'get' into banRAB a lot more inaccessable than Tool. With Tool I just don`t see the point. I find them boring.

Ah, you left out Sin, Mr.Self-Destruct, Beside You In Time, and Just Like You Imagined! :
Anyway, I love NIN. I think they're great. I've been a massive fan of the band for a long time now and my personal favorite album has been and still is The Downward Spiral. But yes, I do also think that NIN (and Tool..my fave band) are two banRAB that don't really have a middle ground when it comes to fans. Most people either love them or hate them...not to say that there is absolutely no one who might be in between, but for the most part that's how it is, methinks. Oh well, To each his own. Great live shows by the way !

I respect Trent Reznor greatly as an artist and believe that he's just the right person to make the music he makes and present the message that he presents. Does this mean that I find his body of work in it's entirety to be flawless? No. It does, however, mean that I have a healthy appreciation for it both as a fan of Reznor's and a fan of Industrial music as a whole.

They came to my city, from what I heard they were outshined by the opening band, TV on the Radio

No. My 3 options had nothing to do with understanding or NOT understanding it, nor accessibility (Tool, by all accounts, are fairly accessible really, compared to what's offered outside of the mainstream scene). It had to do with how the mind REACTS to those particular things. Your mind finRAB little or no satisfaction in what Tool has and DOES offer. Hence you don't likle Tool.

I also tend to think, incidentally, that even though I agree that few people will end up liking Tool much, 99%+ of those who say they are boring etc. have never really listened to their main recorRAB a few times through, all the way through. Maybe one listen at the max., which isn't even enough for Tool fans to like it much. Of course there are exceptions who have given it a fair go and didn't like it.

That's cool. I don't want to push my ideas on everyone. I just feel it's the perfect antidote to our caffeine & convenience loving, quick-fix society. IMO, it's the ultimate way of saying F/O to the world. Sometimes, being very outwardly rebellious can be setting yourself up for a relationship w/ that world, not to say anything about u personally. In observing people, I hav noticed a lot of people go from one extreme to the next. I like being on a pretty even keel.

Nine Inch Nails are phenomenal live. If you get a chance, go see them.

Anyways, I love Nine Inch Nails. I'm not a hardcore fan, but I'm in a high middle ground. Their new song "My Violent Heart" is fantastic.

I'm with this guy. Anyone have their new album, btw?
