Just because a band changes (or "grows" to you) it doesn't mean they're better, and more often than not they're never as good. My favorite NIN album is still Pretty Hate Machine, but they've had a lot of good ones since then. If they would have tried to dramatically change their sound they would have lost all of their fans and flopped big time. |

I prefer the early work to the hippie-era.

"The Band" severely compromised after the first record. They went for more of Cornell's "singer/songwriter" approach, which is why you hear less "riff" oriented tracks and more "songs". They also went with Brendan O'Brien as a producer, one of Cornell's friends. By the third album, it was nearly all Cornell. The band would be in one room jamming out killer, funky riffs and while Cornell was in another room working out songs on his acoustic guitar. I'm sure you can tell by the album who won out. |

Is this a trick question? Foo Fighters have sold tens of millions more records than Nirvana. Nirvana's second record only sold two million copies. Did Nirvana ever sell out Wembly night after night? Regardless, it's not about selling records: It's about expressing yourself and growing as an artist. You don't seem to even understand that simple concept. Quote:

Album being released tomorrow. The reviews I've read from sources who have already heard it seem to suggest that this album is the best NIN stuff since The Fragile and/or The Downward Spiral. I'm interested/excited about it.

http://consequenceofsound.net/2013/0...****-yourself/ “Nine Inch Nails feels bigger than it ever has… Is it because we’re on Columbia? Is it scarcity? I don’t know, but it doesn’t feel bigger in the sense that we’ve desperately adopted some new clothing style. It feels organic, and it feels good not to be worrying about whether or not we shipped vinyl to the cool record store in Prague. I know that what we’re doing flies in the face of the Kickstarter Amanda-Palmer-Start-a-Revolution thing, which is fine for her, but I’m not super-comfortable with the idea of Ziggy Stardust shaking his cup for scraps. I’m not saying offering things for free or pay-what-you-can is wrong. I’m saying my personal feeling is that my album’s not a dime. It’s not a buck. I made it as well as I could, and it costs 10 bucks, or go **** yourself.” |

I made it about ten seconds into that. That guy got so full of himself. They were nuts live in the Pretty Hate Machine days.

And that is one of my favorite albums I liked Broken and Fixed, but the rest got bad.

You didn't like The Fragile or The Downward Spiral? I thought there were some hidden gems on With Teeth, but I can understand why people aren't fans of that one. I'm not much of a fan of Year Zero (with an exception of a couple songs), haven't really given Ghosts the time yet and really didn't care for The Slip. I pre-ordered it on Itunes and my shit is downloading it right now...heard it is very Pretty Hate Machine-ish.

I liked NIN back in the day -- it broke sonic ground. But the direction TR went was not so interesting to me -- not to say it was bad, just didn't inspire hitting the "buy" button imo.
this new works seems to capture NIN sentiment -- within NIN confines it feels new, I'm just in a different place now as opposed to the eighties. I'll listen to it curiously and see if it finds it's way into my collection.
