That's What I Get or Everything, and I'll allow TWIG a pass as a young artist first-album mulligan. It's awful and there is no way to redeem it except for making it instrumental, maybe leaving in the repeated shouts of "That's what I get!" But again. Mulligan. Everything is just really cheesy and I cringe when I hear the opening "I surviiiiiiiiiived". And that one's over 25 years into a successful career. I guess lots of people bag on Hesitation Marks in general but I still think it's a better album than With Teeth and The Slip.

Bad lyrics, yeah, but dat outro. His production covers a multitude of sins. For me, the lyrics and music both have to be uninspired to qualify here. Granted, I know there are exceptions to every rule and some things are just too egregious.

I don’t like Pilgrimage very much and if we’re counting lyrics I always have to skip Starfuckers. The song is kind of tedious too.

Where Is Everybody? I'll give everything after he sobered up a pass. But that song is a miserable listening experience.

I laughed my rear end off the first time I heard Everything but it's grown on me since then. I dig the song's progression and I think the song's sentiment is earned on Trent's part. The remix, on the other hand? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1GWEUEU-pQ

"Starfuckers" definitely holds a special place as the NIN song I least look forward to in any given setting. The others I mentioned are more pointless, but SF is so blatantly out of place on its album, and occupies three tracks of the remix album. It's the song he desperately wants to work, but doesn't. It's the song that just won't go away or be ignored. I don't feel like it's objectively totally bad, as I can pick out things here and there that are kind of good about it, yet you can definitely still make a case that it's the worst NIN song all the same.

What saves TWIG is that it's great to scream along with live or in the car. Starfuckers I can't stand but not sure why.

Starfuckers has some good ideas in it. I just think the chorus is so terrible that it runs the song. I'm pretty sure TWIG hasn't been played live since the 80s.

It's honestly hard for me to think of a NIN song I don't usually enjoy I enjoy on some level. I think the closest I have is The Collector, which I just find all aspects of to be pretty forgettable. It's a song I'd be disappointed if they played it when I saw them.

I think I have seen them play it live and it just doesn't elevate it like some of his other more lackluster tracks. You Know What You Are kind of underwhelms me on album but live it tears the place down.

starfuckers and everything are probably the only songs that felt very out of place in terms of the context of their albums so thats kind of a tie for me

david_a posted:It’s the worst song on there, but the album really needed a better closer than Ripe With Decay. Nobody has ever played that song outside of listening to album all the way through. I think that's a bit like saying Pinion sucks because it doesn't get a lot of rotation outside of being a lead-in.

I didn't like Ripe for the first decade or so after it came out. The (with decay) part is cool though and it's grown on me. The drums on Deviations were right to be removed on the album.

The mix is garbage. I'm tired of the sound of Reznor/Atticus mixes in general but it's hyper bad on poo poo mirror. Still like the song. Anyone else have this complaint? Their mixes have gotten so muddy, feel like they need some fresh input from someone else. Donovan Trip fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Jul 4, 2018 |
