I'm listening to The Fragile for the upteenth time. This is such an incredible album. What are you guys' favorite from NIN?

This one is just such a masterpiece. It's almost like an opera with the changes in mood and instruments.

A fan of NiN? Good GOD yes.

Since forever. Trent rocks.

Pick a best? Sorry... can't do it. Although The Fragile is definitely rilly good.

I haven't heard The Fragile yet. I was dissapointed with Downward Spiral and the single for Starfsckers Inc. did not impress me.

<< how can you not like closer? >>

Closer was a good song but overall the album was not his best.




<< i like starfrickers, i'm afraid of americans and closer >>

I'm Afraid Of Americans is a David Bowie song.

Starfvckers wasn't the best song on the album. I think you should definitely give this one a chance. It's just VERY well constructed and written. IMO, I would almost (and I said almost) call it The Wall of recent times. It's not quite that genius, but just the way it's put together it could almost tell a story. I don't know if I'm describing it well.

<< closer sucks
its the only song non fans can sing all the way through
>>



Ironically, the implicit self-loathing in Closer goes over many people's heads (just so you know, I'm not implying you, skywhr) but for me it makes the song.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned March of the Pigs. That one's definitely up there on my list.

I love everything they/he puts out
And most things he is affiliated with.
Closer isnt my favorite though because of the major jackazz factor that came with the constant radio play.
I live in a military town and all the aquids take it for something totally different and miss the meaning behind the song.
To them its just a song about gettin some azz

I haven't listened to all the albums much but I have listened to the Fragile a bunch.

Nothing like NIN at a wholesome volume on a good stereo. Missed last time they toured here(Denver) But I hear NIN isn't the greatest live band.
