Regardless, I don't remember when, but I recall Reznor going to Albini just to track big drums. That's ultimately probably the best use of Albini's time.

“all the love in the world” transforms into a stomping house track (which is maybe the most amazing thing that happens in any nin song)
YES. I never really got into the rest of WT though.

i listened to with teeth today. wildly underrated imo
in-fucking-deed. But all their noughties and post output has been adding up to a very compelling body of work.
― cpl593H, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:01 (four years ago) link
Bands I'd say were influenced by NIN included Filter, Stabbing Westward, Marilyn Manson (obv) ... but more overtly I think a lot of bands were clearly *influenced* by NIN even if they didn't sound like them, and that included such veterans and Reznor influences themselves as Bowie and Depeche Mode
This is true, and I'd also add the Dos Dedos PWEI to that list. I've always loved how all these bands/artists had already influenced Reznor in the first place. So there was a degree of feedback between them.
― cpl593H, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:10 (four years ago) link
One of my favorite things about Reznor is how he literally listed his influences in the "Pretty Hate Machine" sleeve.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 13:22 (four years ago) link
To be honest, I don't think Reznor has ever really released a dud. If anything, his body of work has been very consistent, very good overall but perhaps a bit too samey.

Ghosts was pretty boring.
― chap, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 13:33 (four years ago) link
I've said this before but I strongly prefer 21st century NIN over 20th century NIN. I don't love all of it (I'm lukewarm on With Teeth and actively dislike Year Zero) but The Slip and Hesitation Marks are great albums, and the three recent EPs are all great and show him really stretching in (somewhat) surprising ways. He's still a terrible try-hard as a lyricist - you can predict his rhymes with 95% accuracy - but the music itself keeps getting better IMO.

I never heard the side project with his wife.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 15:24 (four years ago) link
it's really good, you should! i like it more than the slip or with teeth, certainly.
― akm, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 15:27 (four years ago) link
Yeah, those records are pretty good. A little weirder/more abstract than NIN, less focus on big singalong choruses and more strange distorted noises.

bad witch is such an awesome little record
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 27 November 2019 17:03 (four years ago) link
Yeah, it's not a rehash of anything he's ever done, either. I hope he continues in that direction.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 21:19 (four years ago) link
i listened to not the actual events, add violence, and bad witch in order tonight, and wow, that might be reznor’s best work

― american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 2 December 2019 23:18 (four years ago) link
i liked hesitation marks at the time but i don't think i realized the second half of it is all back-to-back amazing songs? "various methods of escape" and "i would for you" especially

i disagree! it's not what i wanted from a nin instrumental record (that's still still) but if you treat it as a series of briefly gorgeous sketches spliced with even briefer instances of more industrial/perverse stuff and also listen to it while partially-distracted at work it really comes into its own imo
challopsy nin ranking ahoy including remix albums, i like all of them though, even things falling apart:

lmao i forgot broken. put it above year zero, it's a great record but i prefer listening to fixed by a lot (and generally prefer listening to a mentally healthier trent reznor than the guy that appears on broken)

The Fennesz remix of In This Twilight is all time and I wish they'd collaborate on an album.

Should've ranked releases using their Halo numbers to make sure nothing's missed. I like the Soft Cell cover on Halo 9.

The “Get Down, Make Love” cover on the Sin single and attached to the re-release of Pretty Hate Machine fucking rips.

on the strength of "memorabilia" and "metal" trent should've put out a covers record already
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 18:56 (four years ago) link
You could almost make your own, adding Get Down Make Love, Physical, Lost Souls, Crystal Japan, the stuff he did with Peter Murphy and TV on the Radio...

It's kinda annoying that there is no way to get hold of the Fragile Deviations 1 digitally without buying a $80 vinyl version.
― I am using your worlds, Friday, 13 December 2019 12:41 (four years ago) link
on the other hand, trent reznor is very aware of torrents, etc. and priced the only release at $80
what would trent do?

wonder if the instrumental release of the fragile is close enough to the one with vocals to extract out the vocal track
― babu frik fan account (mh), Thursday, 26 December 2019 23:04 (four years ago) link
I might be able to get the vocal stems from Year Zero, I think I have that disc floating around somewhere
― Simon H., Thursday, 26 December 2019 23:35 (four years ago) link
i will check out the fragile. some instrumental releases are subtly timestretched to make center channel cancellation fail.
Simon, if u can find stems, i'd love to have them. just email me; my address is in my profile. thanks y'all!

It won’t be perfect, but I’ve had good results using this AI tool which creates stems from existing audio
