I still think it's arguably my least favorite NIN album sans anything after Ghosts (since I stopped listening to anything after Ghosts, chronologically). It was also my first NIN album, too. But, honestly, I just don't think it's as good as the other stuff. Still, he followed it up with the absolute best LP he's ever put out: The Fragile.

I got it on release day way back when. Superunknown came out the same day. I used to listen to each of them pretty much daily throughout 1994.

maybe my favorite outside of hesitation marks. ive listened to the whole thing start to finish at least 100 times, along with most other nin albums. they're like 90% of what i listen to and i have a gel mold of trent reznors balls hanging from my ceiling

whaaaat? really. the newer stuff does not register with me. its so boring.

year zero was their last good album. everything else is thoroughly mediocre or just bad.

I love Hesitation Marks. It'd be in my top 5 NIN releases along with The Fragile, With Teeth, Downward Spiral, and Pretty Hate Machine.

Nah man it's just different. The trilogy of EPs is fantastic. Trent plays a bunch of different types of rock n whatnot so new stuff can be drastically different from the older albums. Hesitation marks and broken are a great example. I feel like people expect a specific genre for all his music and just call it bad when he does something new

Of course I have. NIN is one of my favorite bands. I love Eraser.

Broken is probably my favorite EP, it is super solid. I dislike Year Zero a lot. Some of the newer albums were actually quite good, I really liked Add Violence and Bad Witch a lot.

1. downward spiral
2. the fragile
3. pretty hate machine
4. broken ep
5. with teeth
6. year zero

after that theyre all pretty mediocre. i do really love "She's Gone Away" which im pretty sure is not an album track? but sounds like something that wouldve been on the downward spiral. really awesome track.
Hey the fragile is good but not as good

thats just fanboy goggles at work. some fans will never criticize their favs. they can do no wrong. i realize the newer shit is different, its also not very good.
Idk man we just got different tastes. I'm not a big fan of broken or phm but most people love it. Doesn't mean it's bad

Was my favorite album for a good while when I was an angsty junior high schooler.

Still enjoy it here and there. Only album by NIN I enjoy. Pretty Hate Machine has a few good songs.

It is an album track, on Not The Actual Events. You should really check out some of the later albums, mainly the trilogy of shorter albums he put out. He has some good songs that do sound like classic NIN in there. This is a good instrumental song:

"The fragile" , and it's companion album, "still", are trents actual most depressing work. That was when he was hitting actual rock bottom of his drug addiction.
