Regardless of your feelings toward this album (no it's not a pro-tools demo), Trent Reznor up and made the best album of his life here and one of the most expressive and detailed chronicles of the depths of depression and heroin addiction. If he committed suicide after making this album, it would live among everyone's top 10 simply out of social pressure. It is objectively better than anything Throbbing Gristle did. Sure, what Throbbing Gristle did was novel, but they simply didn't have the musical acumen to make anything interesting beyond one listen except for Hamburger Lady.

This album isn’t about heroin addiction. It’s also not better than Throbbing Gristle. Still a great record though.

amazing record but fuck you throbbing gristle are the GOAT

I agree except DOA The Third and Final Report is legit decent.
Hamburger lady is boring and overrated.

The Downward Spiral is a sonic masterpiece and the most well produced album of all time.

Actually just listened to it in full this weekend. Good shit, I'm more of a Pretty Hate Machine guy though

>one of the most expressive and detailed chronicles of the depths of depression and heroin addiction.
No one cares about your first world problems

Apparently millions of people do and spend billions of dollars on it.

>implications

this album is very overrated
the only memorable tracks are closer, reptile, and hurt
i unironically think i could've done better lyrics and better track placement than what reznor did
singing and instrumentals though, he has me beat

>the first world doesn't care about the problems it faces
makes sense

Opium addiction happens in shithole third world countries too, dingus.

I like industrial music but ive never listened to anything NIN for more than 2 minutes. only good thing trent has done was the fat rave bassline on that "bow down before the ones you serve" song

Yes, I’m pretty sure junkies in Pakistan relate to Trent Reznor‘s struggle and vice versa, as do opium addicts in 19th century China.

The Fragile is better in every conceivable way

Closer is almost a perfect song, but the hook instrumentation is weak, should have stayed industrial the whole time.

Oof. The Fragile is somehow the most overrated NIN album. Just way too long, scattered, and overly dramatic.

It's music. Get over yourself. Cultural ubiquity is a fucking absurd metric to judge quality on.

You're not cool or "elite", kid.
Stop fronting.

I disagree, the push and pull of faster and slower songs and the leitmotivs are fucking incredible. There's less lyrical whining and more of a focus on song craft. The whole album feels like the song "The Downward Spiral," lots of interacting parts and a Pixies-esque contrast between loud and soft.

HIT BY A ROOOOCK
HIT BY A ROOOOOOOOCK
WHO DID IT

Broken, Fragile, Year Zero, NTAE, Bad Witch are better

fuck you wannabe nigger

for me it, its skinny puppy

>skinny puppy
Fuck you genre tourist kike
For me its gotta be foetus

For me it's Nine Inch Nails, Godflesh, Foetus, Skinny Puppy, Front, Front Line Assembly, Ministry, Fear Factory, Strapping Young Lad
Because I'm not a retard, who has to be a fan of just one band or put them against one another

Nah, you're a retard because you didn't include throbbing gristle. Go back you inane redditor.

I'm not gonna put them there because they didn't grow on me yet, entirely. I respect them and liked their stuff I heard, but it'd be fake of me to put them there still.
I could have put in Coil and God though

this shit sucks. industrial is gay and people are only interested in the cult of personality around trent reznor and not the music.

You are all filthy casuals

I don't give a shit about Trent but he makes great music
How's it hanging?

Pretty Hate Machine is way better.

>they didn't grow on me yet

>this skinny twink fag with is gay hait
Trent could break this guys neck like a tooth pick

He already did it himself, he hanged himself

>closer is almost the perfect song
nice way to expose yourself pleb

Was great when I was 16.

Marco would gut Trent and eat his innards for breakfast

Imagine a parallel universe version of NIN where Trent handles the music and Marilyn Manson writes the lyrics.

Who cares about what people in Pakistan think

What an awful universe, have you heard Manson record after Holly Wood? Trent has improved lately, while Manson is embarrassing, highest degree.
Also; to some extend, what you're asking for is on Antichrist Superstar
