1. Perfect Drug single / Lost Highway soundtrack (probably in my top 5 songs ever)2. Broken3. Fixed4. Pretty Hate Machine5. The Downward Spiral
I do not rate The Fragile; it is okay, but I do not own it and would not ever like to hear it again. And Things Falling Apart should be DESTROYED DESTROYED DESTROYED! omg soooo bad.

I agree that the Perfect Drug is definitely one of their best tunes (damn, Trent would have become a jungle producer...).

D'oh! I paid way too much for that disc back in high school & upon listening even as a massive fan was like.. WTF???? However I did make a profit reselling it several years later to some random NIN obsessive in Japan.
I think "March of the Pigs" is my favorite moment of theirs. The video's pretty funny..

That performance is a hidden track on the DVD. Good stuff.
― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 17:44 (twenty years ago) link
While I liked it quite a bit when it first came out, The Fragile has really grown on me in the last few years, mostly for the subtlety of the instrumental tracks. Also, the older I get, the less I'm able to stomach Trent's sometimes gratuitous use of the F-word. The Fragile isn't as marred as the previous stuff, save for the obvious exception.

Ah. I was wondering why it wasn't included on the live album (I've never seen the DVD). Figured it was a natural to turn up someplace.
― Phil Freeman (Phil Freeman), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 21:15 (twenty years ago) link
Yeah, that was neat for like 2 seconds. I don't really like that live r&b vibe of totally ditching song structure for gospel clap alongs. I would so love for Trent to turn nin into a Golden Palominos type thing where he does everything but the vocals. That the rumored Aaliyah collaboration never happened is a shame.

Listening to the supposedly noisier one now. I don't hear a vast difference between it and the quiet/pretty one.
If and when CD versions are made available, I will buy them, but mostly for completion's sake.

Locusts definitely more stressful and abrasive on a cursory listen. I turned it off after a few tracks, not in the headspace.
Listened to all of Together, on the other hand. Nice and moody, but I doubt I'll ever go back to it.

Both albums are on Spotify now, as well as still being on YouTube. I plan on listening on Spotify a few times and downloading when the servers are seeing less traffic.

I've actually paid for stuff on Bandcamp and then downloaded it via soulseek cuz I didn't wanna deal with WinRAR. I am a profoundly lazy person.

windows 10's support works ok as long as it's not a zip with a ton of files or high compression -- so, good enough for 90% of cases

Together was kinda wallpaper-y to me but maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it. Haven't made it all the way through Locusts yet.
― but also fuck you (unperson), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 01:01 (three years ago) link
Locusts sounds a lot more soothing than Together to me (also agree it's one of the best things he's done). One of the tracks on Together has this really high frequency tone overlaid on top that's bad enough that I have to skip it.

I tend to play my music on album-shuffle, so I never quite know what I'm going to get. My wife was chilling on the sofa by the stereo speakers while I think something mellow like Can's "Soon Over Babaluma" was playing, but then things got a little quiet and I couldn't quite make out what had queued up next. I look at what's about to play on my phone and see it's "The Downward Spiral" about to blargh out, so I quickly hit skip. "That was a close one," I told her. "You almost got Nine Inch Nailed!"

Here's a question: is there anywhere that lists all the appearances of what one might call the "NIN motif"?
