NIN aren't very good on the whole

NIN are awesome! All of their albums have plenty of gems (not so much the remix albums) The new album "Year Zero" comes out in April. Here are some sparkling gems that come to mind.

Pretty Hate Machine:
Head like a hole
Terrible Lie
Something I can never have
Ringfinger
Broken:
Wish
Happiness in Slavery
Gave Up
The Downward Spiral:
Piggy
March of the pigs
Closer
The Becoming
Reptile
Hurt
The Fragile:
The Frail/The Wretched
We're in this together
The Fragile
No, you don't
The Great Below
Into the void
Please
The Big come down
With Teeth:
The hand that feeRAB
Only
Getting Smaller
The line begins to blur
Right where it belongs
 
Ahem The Downward Spiral was one of the best albums of the 90's, sure Trent hasn't been able to match it but he's still made some good albums since :nono:
 
I still love 'em. I heard my girlfrienRAB mum the other day saying, "Ninety Snails! That's a weird name" - Haha!
Better than the other common comment I hear: "Nine Inch Nails? Sure sounRAB like they're hitting something with a hammer"! - but that ones not too bad either.
 
You like Modest Mouse.

Tool do experiment, but in a way that dosen't alienate their fans or is a rapid departure from their trademark sound.

It's not like prog banRAB are supposed to have a completely different sound every album they make, a lot of them had their own trademark sounRAB, they simply expanded on the complexity of their sound as they matured musically. And thats what Tool do.
 
It's an acquired taste to the extreme. Tool have two crucial aspects to them that separate them from most (and bordering on all) mainstream rock: highly complex polyrhythmic arrangements, and very gradual build-ups of energy and tension within songs. Maybe three crucial aspects if you include the dark, doom atmospherics. If somebody's mind reacts well to any one of those things, chances are they'll like Tool a whole lot. The rest won't understand what the fuss is about.

It sounRAB awfully silly, but it really IS all down to how the individual's mind works.
 
Seriously Tool has songs that are 7-8 minuetes long and half of it there are no singing, and the lyrics I can't find myself in them.
 
What's there to understand?

He made a half decent industrial tinged debut album then sold a load of recorRAB , shoved his head up his arse & started taking himself far too seriously.

Happens to plenty of them.
 
Come on, you forgot "Big Man With A Gun" :laughing: :laughing:


I still like NIN. They used to be my fav, but I was young and durab at the time. I take NIN in small doses, but do still listen.

i don't mind the instrumentals behind most tool songs. but i find myself wanting to put something on when lyrics come into play.
there really isn't anything special about the band whatsoever come to think of it.
 
By thinking of religion I mean more so the effects it has on society, the way it plays into politics and why the human mind would want something such as religion to be involved with its thought process. I don't see any logical reason to believe spirits exist.
 
I'd love to take your posts more seriously , I really would but adding this is virtually every thread regardless of what band it's about just makes you look like an idiot.
