Indeed NIN fell off big time. "With Teeth" is just so boring.

With Teeth is a step forward in my opinion, and its nice to see that obviously Trent includes more catchy sounds and rythms, its not like his music became mainstream.

With Teeth is a step forward, it's catchy and doesn't get boring. It's a step in a new direction for Trent, but a good one

NIN are ever-changing but in my opnion, they've never gotten worse. And no, I don't wish Trent would take up heroin.

This album is so different, it's a new step I agree. But, I feel like there are less upbeat songs on this album so one may need to be in a particular mood to listen to it.

Ezra	So I heard some of the new tracks from Year Zero. And I'm a little disappointed, actually. Posted: 02/24/2007, 03:29 AM

I think it's sad how everyone is suddenly disappointed with the direction Trent is going. He's nine inch nails, people! lol. His life change drastically after he got out of rehab. You can't expect With Teeth and Year Zero to be another Downward Spiral or Pretty Hate Machine. But, who wants to hear the same music over and over again? I've heard Survivalism and My Violent Heart and I think the music is just brilliant. Survivalism is heavy and strong and I love it. I think Trent's music is going in the right direction and I'm already counting the days to the release of Year Zero.

I've heard the four tracks revealed off Year Zero and so far Survivalism and In This Twilight are my favourites. I can't wait, they all sound so awesome. It's good how his music isn't sounding too much like previous work.

Year Zero is going to be an awesome album. [With Teeth] sounded so different from The Fragile. Look at it like this. The Fragile, Trent was so messed up and that album didn't do too good but it's a wonderful album. [With Teeth], Trent was clean, the album didn't do as good as it could of but it's still a really good album. So if you think about it, Downward Spiral, the NIN album that's done the best was before Trent got really bad, so Year Zero is the one right after Trent was just coming out of rehab. So, logically, Year Zero will be the equivalent to Downward Spiral.
Hah, that was ridiculous logic, but its my way of saying, I CAN'T WAIT FOR YEAR ZERO TO COME OUT!..Besides, in my personal opinion, Pretty Hate Machine is the best, followed by The Fragile and then [With Teeth]. I like Downward Spiral, but it's not my favorite. I dunno, it has some really good songs, but in its entirety, it's just a good album...Anyway. The Survivalism video is awesome. Watch that thing frame by frame.

Pretty Hate Machine is definitely my favorite NiN album!

Nine Inch Nails is the most original band ever created. I even have the logo tattooed. If you are not familiar with these tunes then you should check out all the albums. A different sound for a different emotion. A different vibe to the chapters of our life.

I'm loving them all the way to my bed and in my dreams. Very talented.

Most original band ever? You can love NIN as much as you want but they are not the most original band ever...

I'll admit, Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D kinda killed it.

AH! The Slip is fantastic!

I agree, when I got the e-mail telling me about The Slip I was like "huh? Already?" So I downloaded it & it is amazing. I can't say I like everything NIN has done, but it's pretty close.

Honestly? I think The Slip might be their best album yet.

I think Trent should once again take some time and make some decent music, "The Slip" is crap.

With Teeth is ok. Not great, but it's still NIN. You just gotta love listening to Trent sing
"I've got my arms they flip flop flip flop flip"

Nine Inch Nails is still a pretty awesome thing.

Ezra	The Slip is awesome, what the hell are you talking about? >:/ Posted: 08/04/2008, 10:34 AM

Listen to "Pretty Hate Machine" and then "The Slip" and comeback to me...

Posted: 08/07/2008, 04:07 PM

Ezra	I retract my previous statement about Year Zero. I listened to it again and there are some tracks on it that are good. Posted: 08/08/2008, 12:01 AM

Ezra

Well, Murder, are you saying you want him to do another album like Pretty Hate Machine? Not to say I didn't like it, because I enjoy that album greatly. However, I think that his music presently satisfies me. It might not satisfy you, I respect that. I like that he's doing something different.

PS: When I was being all faux-internet-angry at you, I was kidding. :]

I'm not really saying Trent should do a "PHM Vol. 2", it's just to me he hasn't done anything remotely interesting since "The Fragile" Everything after just sounds boring and uninspired to me.

Posted: 08/09/2008, 05:36 PM

Killswitch Engage

I have to disagree with the boring and uninspired part. As for myself I always loved the old stuff and I loved with teeth. To me it showed how smart trent really was. It's not always about being angry and with teeth showed to me he can make great albums with out feeding on anger. Not that I don't like angry albums. But to me it shows he is true artist. I don't understand how their is a so called lack of inspiration. Maybe you don't follow politics but year zero and everything after has clearly been statements of world issues. War, lies, and government, there is all the inspiration you can handle in a lifetime. I have felt more inspired and impressed as the albums have been released. Not to mention how trent has practically been giving away all the new music with free and 5 dollar downloads.

1) By my 'boring and uninspired' I was more talking about the music than the lyrics... Besides there are many other bands that do the 'war, lies and government' type of thing way better than mr. Reznor.

2) To me free mp3's and downloads are great to check things out. But to me mp3's and home burned CD's can never replace the real hard goods. I want the physical record, the artwork and all that shit.

Crazy_U2_Nin-ja

One of the greatest and most influential industrial metal bands/people ever. And I'm not trying to disrespect or argue with anybody's comments here, but I think it's unfair to compare NIN's new stuff to Pretty Hate Machine. Don't get me wrong, it's a great album and a NIN classic, but compared to NIN's other stuff, it's relatively immature, especially when comparing the music.

That said, The Slip is a great album. Ever since I downloaded it (with plans to buy the CD/DVD edition) I can't stop listening to it. It sounds like to me that Trent pretended that Year Zero never happened and continued from where The Fragile and [With Teeth] left off. Once again, I have to say, well done Trent. Keep up the good work. If anyone hasn't done so, go to the website and download it. You'll be glad you did. Besides, it's free! So what have you got to lose?
