Syrette Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Anyone else excited for 'Year Zero', the new album? A new song called 'My Violent Heart' got 'leaked' recently, and someone knocked up a quick MySpace where they uploaded it to here. There's a whole clever little subliminal advertising thing going on, more details here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlufPurdi Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 One of the most underrated bands in the world. At least by those not interested in anything that isn't advertised to high heaven. Wouldn't say I'm excited, but I'm confident it'll be good. Haven't heard the leak, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Whats the best NIN albums to get then? My lecturers been going on about them, gonna give them a listen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlufPurdi Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 If you're just getting into them, the live album might be ideal, it's And All That Could Have Been. But I'd suggest Pretty Hate Machine. Slipped me mind actually, Melans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Broken is my favourite Nine Inch Nails CD, closely followed by The Fragile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 The Downward Spiral was awesome, but most of his other stuff is pretty average, tbh. The odd decent track here and there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliMag Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I would agree with Scottass - but having "Broken" as your favourite album says more about your personal taste in music than which is the best NIN album. "Broken" came out in a period in my life when I was really angry and was a perfect companion. Pretty Hate Machine was the most ground breaking and Downward Spiral is probably the best musically speaking (also creepy as f*ck). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlufPurdi Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Agree with all of that, Cali'. blueyes.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlufPurdi Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Just listened, and I hope to fuck I'm not overrating it, I don't normally with NIN, but I thought it was awesome. Deliberately chose awesome, as I never use it, and it's that good. Some fucking real music, with some actual meaning in a time where all the rest is just bland meaningless shit.

I just listened to it for me first time, never listened to NIN before, had no idea what they're about. Can't say I liked it too much, not my style of music. Will probably give it a couple of more listens, as I haven't listened to industrial (??) before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably give it a couple of more listens, as I haven't listened to industrial (??) before. I would always recommend to anyone that they should always listen to a band's discography in order. Not surprised you didn't like it, in that case, expecially if you've not listened to the genre much. It also depends on your view point on things. It's an impressive album mainly because of the content, not really what it's sounding like. It's a political album, though to say that wouldn't do them favours. They'd probably hate it to be seen as such. Better than singing about colours and clocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 tbh ive downloaded it and liked it, but ive never heard anything previous. I've since downloaded 5 gig of the shit and need to organise it all... I think i've got a bit 2 much tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely can at a first listen, but with this it was extreme like. Edit: As for discography-order, I always do the other way around. If I like the newest, I download the second newest and so on...

Fair enough! I think with NIN though, it's like a journey, but then I am into their stuff and genre so didn't mind listening to a lot of guff inbetween the good stuff. I'm a bit like that with all bands most of the time, but ironically, not this time. I seemed to make out nearly all of what was said. In general, I definitely agree, it's what puts me off recommending music to some people. They don't hear it properly the first time, and never go back. Don't blame them, half the time.

Nobody Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Thing is, I've heard a lot of good things about NIN and I don't want to judge them on the first listen. But, there wasn't a lot that appealed to me. It wasn't bad in any way, just doens't feel like it's my thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Better than singing about colours and clocks. A band I've never really listened to much, which is strange because I'd imagine I'd like them on what little I have heard and what type of music they play. Be seeing them at Rock Werchter this summer though, so must try and get a bit of listening done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's bands I know I should like, or wish I did, but just don't. Something doesn't click. Would still tell anyone to listen to Pretty Hate Machine first though. It's more unique than this album, despite Year Zero being as good as it is, and it's also their first, and one of their best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 after reading this i downloaded a few songs. "the hand that feeds" is really good. Still trying to get used to the other tracks, but its actually quite relaxing music in its own special way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlufPurdi Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Capital G is a top song, and one a few after it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
