I don't think he wanted to do exactly that. That has to do with contractual agreements. It is a masterpiece though.

Listen to the new Slipknot.

I am a big fan of Slipknot, especially the latest album, it did give some vibes the angriest NIN would. I think that Not The Actual Events had the potential to be Broken V2, but it never got there which was a shame.
>I don't think he wanted to do exactly that. That has to do with contractual agreements. It is a masterpiece though.
He did though, this influenced the whole label bullshit, that is where most of the anger stemmed from, the label wanted to turn him into another Depeche Mode and this was his response.

Burned out

Shame.

A single EP is exactly how much material you could squeeze out of this sound. A 60-70-minute album of more of the same would be pretty dull. The Downward Spiral has a lot more going on than Broken does.

What was he trying to do with Not The Actual Events, then?

>The Downward Spiral has a lot more going on than Broken does.
There's some aggressive parts of TDS but Broken is more intense. You are definitely right here because a long album just full of songs like this will either burn out or desensitize the listener.

He's sort of been burned out since TDS, he can't make shit with the same intensity he had then, and he hadn't really reached it before broken either. This was really the peak of his aggressiveness and it was definitely motioning towards what was to come.

It's always a shame when an artist loses that fire so quickly, seeing Trent live, trying to perform these songs, is pretty painful, he really lost all that aggression, hearing him trying to channel aggresion in Teeth or Slip is pretty painful too due to how forced it feels

NTAE doesn't have that much in common with Broken. It's much more varied and nowhere as aggro.

Trent claimed it would be that angry inaccessible EP when he was hyping it up, was pretty disappointed by it. Dear World doesn't belong there, the rest is akin to With Teeth shit honestly

Broken literally culminated in The Broken Movie, which was a pseudo-snuff film full of music videos and fucked up imagery that was even distributed on VHS tapes like an underground snuff film, so it freaked out a lot of people I remember seeing it when I was younger.

Sham they didn't translate Last into that movie though, it is little try-hard, Broken Movie, looking back at it. I still miss when Trent was pushing boundaries of aggression like that.
Don't get me wrong, TDS is an amazing fucking album that is still pretty damn pissed. Hell, I like most of the work Trent has done even Post-Fragile, it just doesn't have the fire of the earlier records.

>The Broken Movie

Ah, the early 90s... when you could do any edgy shit you wanted and your record label would fund it even if it was obviously gonna come back and bite everyone in the ass.

>it is little try-hard, Broken Movie
It was pretty damn try-hard, since it fooled some people and others found it to be something to be sought after, and a rumor.

I miss when artists before the digital days tried to sell stuff to their fans in ways which were unconventional and to generate a sense of mystery about themselves.

>Ah, the early 90s... when you could do any edgy shit you wanted and your record label would fund it even if it was obviously gonna come back and bite everyone in the ass.
Yes, I miss when artists and labels took artistic risks.

The Broken video was never officially released in the 90s though, a couple of copies Reznor gave away to friends got into the hands of tape traders who just bootlegged the fuck out of it and circulated it that way. You had to dig pretty hard to get a copy back then, you couldn't just walk into a record store and buy it.

my filthy heart is about the most similar industrial to old nine inch nails that I've heard: bandsofrain.bandcamp.com/album/acts-of-violence

aggressive as all hell.

He noticed most indsutrial bands where going the metal route in that era so he followed the trend. Thankfully he was in his songwrinting peak when he made it

Well, the Broken movie was nearly impossible to find until the internet and even then, it was a shitty VHS rip since it was never released officially
Similar thing happened happened with Janes Addiction "Gift" but that one was released (with minor cuts) when the band reached cult status in the mid-90s, and was very tame in comparison to "Broken"
