I would also suggest The Downward Spiral, if nobody else has. Great album.

Of course we/they have.

Because it means I've been listening to NIN for 20 years and I'm getting fucking old.

I used to listen to PHM on rotation whilst playing Quake DM; great great album. I do love my NiN stuff, but I have to be in the right place to listen to the older material - I will always remember listening to the piano version of Something I Can Never Have from the 2nd All That Could've Been (Live) and it completely cut me down the middle. My fault, really, I'd split from my girlfriend 30 minutes earlier. Closet Goth, perhaps?

With Teeth for the beauty that is Only!

I do listen to Year Zero and Slip in the background, very much like Fragile and Broken. I'd put Year Zero ahead of Slip; I'd agree with Shinji IMO Slip tracks are not as strong.

Year Zero is bloody cracking, though.

There's some great stuff on the Year Zero remixes album, too, if you haven't tracked that down already. Some awful shit as well, annoyingly, but it's worth the price of entry for Saul Williams' "Guns by Computer" and Modwheelmood's "The Great Destroyer" alone.

Charlie Clouser has always been one of the best NIN remix artists. His version of Ruiner from Further Down the Spiral is sublime. A patchy yet brilliant EP if anyone hasn't got it by the way.

Fixed was by far the best argument to 'stop all this remix' bullshit as I never got on with it at all. It does seem this sort of music (sharing so much in common with dance music) does lend itself to post release fiddling quite well though.

U dunno, Gave Up on Fixed is pretty darn good; my mate hates it, however. I have some of the remix stuff, but you can get buried in it now everyone and his dog is dicking around with the downloaded original masters.

Used to be a time when the EPs were a git to find, but they're all available for purchase online which is great.

I can easily leave it TBH. 3 version of it on Things Falling Apart; I regret *that* purchase.

Hate starfuckers, usually skip it, its a single track that actually sounds out of place in the awesome dissonance of the fragile.

If I weren't so much of a man (which wouldn't be difficult to be fair) I would cry every time I put Still on. And I've heard it a lot over the years. Chilling album. Modest, passionate and depressing music.

I know what you mean, but I still have an internal mosh when it kicks in. More of a reflection of just how incredible Fragile is as an album than the quality of that individual track.

Making of stage lighting - Cool video by the people who made the brain that controls the set.

Really hope to see this tour in the UK at some point.... but isn't looking likely anytime soon.

Still is amazing.

For me:

The Fragile
The Downward Spiral
Still
Broken
Year Zero
Pretty Hate Machine
With Teeth
The Slip
Ghosts

I'm just not a fan of post rock. Nothing wrong with the album per say, I just don't like post rock that much any more and so it suffers because of it.

Oh, a Nine Inch Nails thread. Nice. Anyone know when they're due back in the UK? I seen them in Dublin support The Foos and it was outdoors during the day, so wasn't really the full show. It was still incredible, but I'd love to see them at their own gig, ya know?

To me, that is the sign of the perfect gig!

They're definitely doing the European festival season this year (June-August). Might schedule a few of their own dates around that but I wouldn't expect a tour till late Autumn/Winter at at the earliest.

There are plenty of people working on that, trust me. Editor's dream.

Still came with some copies of And All That Could Have Been, but I guess it didn't come with yours. Most of the songs are new versions of existing songs.

I tried for ages to get in to NiN - had a friend who kept telling me to listen to them, but it just wasnt biting me like it should. - I bought the live DVD and that was what eventually hooked me.

Album wise I started on With Teeth and then worked backwards.
