suggest ban

the score for that movie slaps, though

I enjoy the moody bits too, and never bother with making my own edits of albums anyway, but the thing that always strikes me about The Fragile when I listen to it is how you could construct a tight album from its pop moments that sounds more like Pretty Hate Machine 2 than anything else Trent ever actually did.

Think I noted on a different thread that Leopold Ross, who used to collaborate more with his brother, did the score to that Godzilla TV show (among other things), and it sounded so much like Atticus and Trent that 1) it verged on parody and 2) it kind of made me wonder what Trent brought to his scores with Atticus.

huh, I somehow had no idea that was Atticus's brother. I guess my deep NIN fandom dropped off at some point in the last, uh, 25 years

i'll probably try to get a poll up and running in the next week or two

:D

i'm going to open the poll later but first, any thoughts on side-polls beyond songs/albums? do people want to poll the reznor/ross soundtrack stuff too or remixes as side polls? i will probably just accept htda material as eligible for the main polls

remixes wd probably be good? - i think scores & soundtrack stuff is a bit much

sidepoll: trent hairdos
jk

The scores/soundtracks might be 2-3 separate polls alone!

yeah its a pretty hefty list
