Rageaholic Monkey posted:They never advertised the scores for The Social Network/Girl With The Dragon Tattoo as NIN releases though, did they? NIN were also on hiatus when those] came out. I really wouldn't read too much into thus beyond maybe there being a NIN song on the soundtrack there was a HTDA song on the GWTDT soundtrack (though I still wouldn't bet on it)

Yeah, maybe it's nothing. I just thought it was weird, and someone in the comments on that Facebook post said something about a second volume of Ghosts and I guess I got my hopes up even though I knew that probably wasn't gonna happen  Trent & Atticus' scores are basically like continuations of Ghosts anyway, though.

So far this seems much more backgroundy than the other two scores, which isn't a bad thing or anything, it's just fading in and out of my attention right now while I do other things. It also does seem to be a pretty good mesh the the other two scores.

This is fantastic. I wasn't a big fan of Dragon tattoo, this score moves better and has some terrific melodies so far. I'm also a huge sucker for Reznor piano which is all over this thing. I hadn't been reading about the film until today and my interpretation of the earlier released tracks was that they were uncomfortably soothing, if that makes sense. Which is what the movie sounds like it's going for!

Greetings, I became bored with playing in the other subforums I've been in for the past 9+ years, so you guys mind if i jump in here? I was huge into music in the '90s and early 2000s, but then life, work, a marriage all got in the way. I woke up recently and released I'd not listened to a complete album in...well....very much way too loving long! Also, they are making the Gone Girl into a film? I didn't know...not surprising though. I miss a lot of that stuff since I don't have TV. I read the book awhile back and....it is one of the most psychologically hosed up things I've come accross since some of John Fowl's earlier work. In otherwords, a perfect playground for Reznor! As to me & Nin, I've been a fan since the Broken era...quickly backtracking to PHM after discovering the band in '93. Spiral was great, but very much getting overplayed by the late '90s. Really i think my favorite from that era was Fragile, and i realise many might disagree. I've seen NIN live 3 times, which is a lot for me as I've not done the concert thing too much..once even saw them in a show during a Tornado (2000 Tour)...that was..wild. Anyhow, just popping in...cheers.

It's like some kind of beautifully sad shoegazing industrial rock opera....thing. I love it. And the tracks I've heard for Gone Girl so far are brilliant.

PHM is a collection of good (even a couple great) tracks, but they are rather disconnected from each other. Broken isn EP, so its pretty short and while good music, rather monotone (read loud and angry) if that makes sense? Spiral flows better, but still comes off as 2 or 3 separate recording sessions strung together. Of course it has moments of genious too. Fragile though, well its a double album, so right there you know its either going to be grand or fall flat on its face. After 5 years of waiting for a new NIN album, i think we all were starving right? So it was just great to hear it period, but after a couple listenings (like gobling up an apatiser when you are....well starving), I finally had time to taste the favour of the album, and it was just great. It was mostly mature, but with a few fun songs like Starfuckers too. It was ambicious, without being overally long and drawn out you know? Plus the tour and live sets were great with it....hard and soft songs in near equal measure and blended together well. As for the tornado show...it was in an outdoor arena in early Summer, so even though it was 7:00-8:00 PM, the sun was still going down....with a big loving funnel cloud eclipsing it. They were about to call off the show, but didn't. So after everyone figured out the show would continue...how to put this? everyone's pockets suddenly emptied of their stashes, and it felt like a big party for the rest of the show. Even the band got into the spirit, playing several more songs....past the 'noise curfue.' (loving Southern states). Afterwards, we were all wasted but really pumped up. I've lived a pretty quiet life and never been in trouble, but looking back i am shocked we weren't arrested that night in the hotel. In otherwords, a great concert for someone who'd just turned 18 less than a year before and had nothing to loose, and all of life ahead.

I must be a weirdo though because I love most of PHM. I'm not terribly fond of Kinda I Want To and maybe The Only Time. Everything else is solid to me. For some reason Ringfinger is my favorite.

Not weird at all.....for 1988-1989, it was an album ahead of its time and pushed the edge of what was commonly accepted in music. Like i said, its a good album, no doubt of that. I have the Purest Feeling demo tape, and even listen to it sometimes too. But the band really grew and expanded throughout the '90s. PHM = great and fresh ideas Broken = a loving rocking album, that's great for a teenager especially. Spiral = a band beginning to mature and find its sound, while still being youthful and raw at times. Fragile = pretty much the culmination of everything, and frankly i just love the keyboards and strings on it! PLus Trent did so many drugs while writing it that he had to go into rehab. That's a sacrifice he made for us, his loyal fans (I am sure thats it, i bet he didn't have fun at all on them lol)! I don't mean to leave out his 21st century albums, but they are a different thing in my mind. I enjoy them, but his sound kind of becomes more fixed and routine after Fragile....that make sense? I even went to a With Teeth era concert....it was still good fun, and still packed with energy. I am sure its because it came out and i heard it when I was young, so that's why NIN's first 4 releases really stick with me. When i turned 18 and i had a small windfall of cash (my dad paid like 10 years of back child support...under legal encouragement), i saved most of the money for college but did go out and buy like a $1,000 stereo system. Well i bought the parts for one. None of the pre-fabs out then met my standards...(Bose son...loving Bose all the way). Anyway, me and a couple friends got home from that shopping trip at around 11:00 PM and spent most of the night wiring up the system. At around 4:00 AM when it was all together, the very first song we cranked out of it was 'Perfect Drug.' I really don't know how we didn't get a noise complaint actually... Just hard to form memories like that around songs when you are in your 30s you know? even if they are still totally enjoyable. I bought H.Marks when it came out naturally. Amazon Prime makes getting music so drat easy and quick. Its probably a very good thing it didn't exist when I was a teenager, or I'd have been literally broke. Hastings was hard enough on my wallet, and that required a drive accross town...and i don't even loving drive! More than one girlfriend said i should start going to CD Buyers Anonamous. I knew I was in trouble when my gay neighbor (who was a lovely guy) said to me "Oh honey, you got to stop." hehe.....

I like the Spiral reissue, and PHM definitely benefited from remastering; but i do wish it had come with some more bonus tracks. I bought Fragile at BestBuy about a week or two after it came out. NIN was pretty excepted at my highscool...the 'weird' kids listened to Marilyn Manson there. Back then i had several CDs but mostly listended to Smashing Pumpkins, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Tool, Ben Folds (yes he's awesome in his own special way!), and a few other bands which i am now ashamed of and have strickened from my memory perminantly (not unlike a couple high school girlfriends come to think of it). Really, it was Fragile that pushed me from being a casual NIN fan into being a true one.

I agree with this. I like the Fraglie but I was never able to fully get into it. It kind of suffers where alot of double albums suffer where it's just alot to sit through and you end up breaking it up into pieces and some pieces get more attention than others so it ends up feeling like a bunch of disconnected sections. That is not to say it isn't a great album (it contains my single favorite NIN song), it's just my recollections of it are ore on a song by song basis than as a whole. Also, Ripe (With Decay) is still the most hilariously unintentionally self-parodyish song title I've ever seen. axelblaze fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Sep 30, 2014 |

Yeah, for me, Fragile is the epitome of "would have been better with some more editing." There are a lot of cool songs, but holy poo poo is there a lot of filler.

For me, The Fragile is one of those cases where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. There aren't even all that many songs I really love compared to, well, pretty much any other NIN album, but as a whole it's still probably my favorite out of them all. It's just such a wonderfully executed concept.

Yeah honestly, with the exception of Starfuckers I feel like it flows perfectly well. That's not to say it's all perfect, especially when it comes to the lyrics, but I find it to be NIN's "most listenable" album. Whereas I consider TDS artistically superior, but not really fun to listen to. (Not saying it doesn't flow well - it's even better than The Fragile in terms of sequencing. I'm really taking about 2 different things here.)

Most of the time I listened to the Fragile as a complete album. Either putting a disc into my portable CD player, or putting both into a stereo with a changer. I'd just let it play start to finish, so maybe that's why i like it so much? I agree though, Starfuckers does stick out a bit and doesn't flow as well as it could. Still an enjoyable song, and clearly meant to be a single/live thing. I just really enjoy all the stringed instruments it has to offer. I even like the "And All That Could Have Been" EP/sampler thingy. I bought Things Fall Apart too, but was generally underwelmed by that one (though it does have a couple moments at least). I actually enjoyed Further Down the Spiral. I ended up with the 'foreign' version, as i found it used at a local CD store back around 1997. It was always cool buying a new NIN album, just to see the packaging haha. I am dating myself here, but when i bought Broken, it came with a tiny little 3" disc w/ 2 bonus tracks on it. I thought that was hilarious. In fact...yeah...that was the first NIN i bought ever.

I liked We're In This Together for a single more than Starfuckers anyway. By 1999, i was no longer impressed with the word 'gently caress' in a song title, and a bit too mature to giggle at it either. Still not a bad song, but there are several others on the album i like more....but I get why its on there. Every album has to have multiple singles/live jams/frat party favorites...at least if it is to be at all commercially successful. Of course if a band gears their entire album towards making Top40 single hits, we call them Nickelback. NIN balances commercial success with artistic vision quite nicely.

Chalk me up as another person who likes The Fragile more than most of the other albums. I loved the first three albums as a teenager, and remember what seemed like insane levels of hype for The Fragile before it was released. There were television commercials on MTV for it with the chorus of Into The Void playing in the background. Then I bought the prerelease single for The Day The World Went Away and was blown away by it because it was so different than what everyone was expecting from a Nine Inch Nails album. It had Starfuckers, Inc as a b-side which I feel works better than on the actual album, since it highlighted two very different tracks without having to work them into an actual flowing, coherent album. With Teeth sort of disappointed me at release, but it grew on me over time. It still feels a bit samey, though. I thought Year Zero was a great return to form and probably the tightest concept album.

When the single for "The Day the World Went Away" was solicited, it listed "Starfuckers, Inc." as a non-album track. I think it would have been a fine little curiosity if it had stayed there, but somebody decided that it needed to go on the album proper. Such a frustrating song, because it has some of the most amazing production, but such unbelievably stupid lyrics. I remember when TDTWWA single came out, I was bummed out that one of the coolest little bits of music from the nin.com teaser site was buried in the bridge of "Starfuckers." For months, I had assumed that whatever track contained that music was gonna be some moody, atmospheric thing like "The Art of Self-Destruction, Part One," but then it was like "nope! we're gonna cover all that up with Trent singing a Carly Simon lyric!"

I would agree with all of that. I was nerdy enough for NIN in 1999, that i found and bought all 3 We're In This Together singles, and made for myself a little EP album out of the B-Sides. Year Zero > With Teeth no doubt. With Teeth isn't garbage, but is a tiny bit lacking here and there. Then again, like with Fragile before it, we had to wait so long for Teeth to come out, it was just nice to have anything NIN at all.

Didn't see this posted yet, so here you go: http://www.theprp.com/2014/09/30/news/nine-inch-nails-trent-reznor-to-take-some-time-off-from-touring/ Looks like Trent is going to take another break from touring. quote:“That’s a good question. I just got off tour a couple weeks ago, and I’ve been tying up loose ends this the whole time. So I’ve got a few things that are considerations. I’m not deeply involved in anything at the moment. I just want to center myself and see what feels exciting. It won’t be touring for a while.” When asked what was wrong with touring, he said: quote:“No, I enjoyed it. But I’ve found as I’ve gotten older that, you know, between this and How to Destroy Angels, I’ve been out for 18 months. That’s enough. I’m ready to wake up in the same location for a while.” See you in 3-5 years, NIN (again)!
