Trent and Atticus, I deeply appreciate the new music and your message. However, it is not helping me feel better about evaluating coronavirus patients all day and working on infection control algorithms.

As 90s industrial rock goes, Machines of Loving Grace still holds up pretty well. I go back and revisit Concentration every few years or so.

Whoa, I totally forgot I own that and probably haven’t listened to it in 10+ years. Time to fix that... Anybody have feelings one way or the other on Prick? In the 90s I was aware they were one of the Nothing label bands and thought they were special because of that. I found the album a few years ago and... I dunno. His voice is, uh, an acquired taste. Some of the instruments/textures sound like they could have come directly off The Downward Spiral (and they probably did, since Trent produced some of it).

Prick is great, as are the Lucky Pierre albums. Really strong songwriting that holds up. Machines of Loving Grace is good too.

Watching old 90s industrial rock videos makes me remember how terrible music video cinematography was back then. Everything is headache-inducing extremely quick cuts, and blurry shots that occasionally fade into focus or just whip across random objects. Sometimes you see glimpses of the band, who are in a poorly lit room but mostly seen in silhouette, but usually there's some weird color filter over the whole thing and a bunch of stock footage. Why was that ever a trend?

easy and cheap way to achieve a chaotic feeling to match the music. im sure a lot of it was diy too because nobody was paying industrial acts any money for music videos in the early 90s

I thought I was the the only person on the planet who liked Machines of Loving Grace. Really, all 3 of their albums are good but Concentration is their best. As kind of a side thought, I have been going through Amazon Music, listening to older bands who dipped their toes into the techno/pop/industrial pond in the 90's, trying to stay relevant. One of the weird outliers of this is Def Leppard's Slang. It turns out if you add drum machines and distorted vocals to butt-rock, you pretty much get Stabbing Westward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxckorw5dr0

I thought Godflesh was a new band because I had never heard of them before but nope, been around the since the 80's/90's. Anyway they are good industrial but I guess they are a precursor to NiN, and not a later day ripoff (don't mean that in a purely negative way). Anyway, for shame all this talk about Stabbing Westward and Gravity Kills and such but no mention of Filter.

Has Filter put out a good album after Title of Record? Amalgamut was pretty meh, and I couldn't get through Anthems for the Damned.

Yeah I don’t think anyone that has ever lived on this planet has accused Godflesh of being a NIN ripoff  . Sometimes they’re described as grindcore even, although that’s probably a charitable use of the term since I don’t think any similar bands are given that label. I assume it comes up because Justin played guitars on half of Napalm Death’s Scum.

Richard Patrick definitely knows how to write a catchy riff, but if anyone has anything bad to say about Trent's ability to write lyrics, Patrick is a whole other league of terrible. The Trouble With Angels is about as meh as his other stuff, with "No Love" being the catchy single that sounds suspiciously like a Rammstein riff... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eXcEsHGqdk I kinda gave up after that, but from what I've heard of subsequent albums, he hasn't changed much.

Not a NIN alumni, but in the mp3.com days I liked Halo In Reverse. It felt a bit on the nose when I revisited it in the early days of Spotify. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI7N_IS1WFc

It makes you wonder if you can It shakes you, puts you in a can How. Even dumbass high school freshman me thought that was terrible, and I thought NIN was insightful and deep.

I am annoyed with Richard Patrick because he keeps perpetuating that "Piggy" is about him; a story literally no one else has corroborated.

First Filter album is solid. He had weird beef with Trent for years, but they’ve since made up.

Though you'd be forgiven if you did, since Jon Crosby pretty much just did sappy guitar ballads for about 10 years. But his first 3 or 4 albums before that kicked rear end. Apparently he's returned to form with his newer stuff, but I haven't checked it out yet.

I bought his albums years ago when he had them on sale on his website, but didn't know there was a Trent Connection.

I always wonder if there's a friendly rivalry among the Patrick brothers over who had a cooler career. "I got to tour with Nine Inch Nails!" "Oh yeah? I got to kick a Terminator's rear end!"

I was never able to take VAST seriously. I think I had heard a tiny little of positive buzz about their first single or something and then they ended up being a last minute opener on the Psychotica/Jack Off Jill tour in 1998. People were chanting for Psychotica during his set and he seemed irritated about it, but honestly I don't think anyone knew who VAST were. Then supposedly he was out in the crowd flipping off Psychotica during their set and everyone else got really pissed off and Jack Off Jill smashed a big box of VAST promo CDs that were sitting backstage.

I recently relistened to Short Bus and it kind of holds as grimier than Title of Record. Lyrics are extremely cringe worthy though.

Any one else get weirded out thinking there are now multiple generations that have grown up with Trent Reznor as a guy who puts out three albums a year and have never known anything else?

I've been listening to NIN since 1994 and it felt like the longest I've ever waited between NIN albums was between TDS and The Fragile. The wait for With Teeth went by much faster it seemed like.

I think about that a lot. Nowadays it's not uncommon for artists to go five years between albums, but when Trent went five years between TDS and The Fragile (and, in between, did a massive world tour, released a double-video set, produced another band's album, and dropped a non-album single) it seemed like an absolute eternity.

When the Fragile came out I was in high school and With Teeth cam out my last year of college, so yeah, that felt like an eternity.

time feels longer when you are a teenager, plus in a time before internet and infinite sources of other music for basically free, it seemed even longer.

I had been getting into the industrial music scene for 2-3 years at that point, but NIN scratched an itch I wasn't even aware of. I remember when Wish came out, a buddy had listened to it and his critique was "Trent learned to play guitar"  Crazy that I've been listening to the guy for that long.

I think I got over Short Bus after listening to it too much, so it's been a long time. I still like Title of Record a LOT though, and The Amalgamut has a few really good songs on it. I haven't listened to any of Filter's other stuff in years though. I always check it out at least once, hoping it'll be good, but I end up just getting sort of bored and skipping through tracks. Oh well.axelblaze posted:Any one else get weirded out thinking there are now multiple generations that have grown up with Trent Reznor as a guy who puts out three albums a year and have never known anything else? I've always been into the deep-dive of NIN's in-between materials though, so it didn't seem as long for me between albums. After TDS, the Closer to God maxi-single and Further Down the Spiral tided me over, then there were some soundtrack songs to keep me going, and I had gotten into a lot of other bands at the time. I remember The Fragile came out the same day as Type O's World Coming Down. I guess The Fragile to With Teeth seemed like a longer time, but again, I got into the in-between stuff like Things Falling Apart and Still/And All That Could Have Been. In the 90s/00s, there was always a lot of crossover between NIN and Tool fans too, so if you could wait for new Tool material, new NIN seemed downright prolific. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Apr 16, 2020 |
