    Same. I was around when Pretty Hate Machine was released and it helped me get into industrial and electronic stuff. Broken is still my favorite release, but I dig The Downward Spiral as well. The Fragile didn't appeal to me much at first, but the last time revisited it, I thought it was pretty damn good. With_Teeth and Year Zero are definitely a bit meh partly because the angst is gone and also because the sound isn't fresh anymore. I'm still (slowly) digesting Ghosts and The Slip but I think both are more solid than With_Teeth and Year Zero. I don't know...I can see people not digging them especially if they're younger and weren't around in the beginning. The first material they heard may be the "clean" NIN, and then the older and better stuff may sound too dated for them. Or maybe they just don't like the style, no problem. But for some reason, even though the stuff post-Downward Spiral has been weaker, I've still purchased each release brand new on release day. Even the two that were given out free as downloaRAB. That may stop soon, who knows. I guess they were just a favorite in high school and I still have respect, even though they're no longer a favorite.

    I love Downward Spiral.

    I really dig NIN but I can certainly understand the dislike for them.



    You just signed your death warrant buddy. That kind of crap doesn't fly here, Urban is one mod you want need to mess with.

    Tool is a curious taste. Some people's minRAB just identify with what they're doing in the music (in particular, the method of gradually building energy in a song up to a peak, and the continuously delayed, though ultimately satisfying release in the ensuing climax...Jesus Christ, sounRAB like I'm describing something else here...). Some identify with it. To others it's just meaningless, superfluous and boring. That'll be the main factor in separating the Tool fanbwoi from the hata.

    The problem with NiN is that it all plays into the grunge rock thing of catharsis vindicating music. As long as you're on anti-depressants you can put out any old s*** and its automatically the highest art because its cathartic.

    B****cks.

    Werd.
    However, i can see the technical skill that Tool posesses. Just can't see why people like them so much.

    I can see why people don't enjoy Nine Inch Nails. Personally, I think they are ok. Trent does seem to take himself much too seriously a lot of the time.

    And wtf at the random tool argument?

    As all I have seen you do so far is either whine about stuff or ask for people to be banned I can only assume that you are Oojay using a different account.

    Thats where I messed up. I listened to more than one song. Now I will never unappreciate Tool.

    NIN HAD some good stuff, I especially liked a lot of the songs on Fragile, but I will happily agree that the downward spiral was excellent. The backround story on its production is too.
