I was getting into NiN retroactively (ie started listening to them in early 00's and was mostly listening to Downward Spiral and Broken continuously). With Teeth was the first new album they released when I started getting into them and while I liked some songs (and outright loved Beside you in time, Right were it Belongs and line begins to blur) I wasn't too crazy on the album. That being said the first time I saw NiN live was in support of the album and the show was amazing.

Love Is Not Enough is the worst NIN song but I think the rest of the album is pretty good!

Regardless of the music though, I hope we can all agree the glitch aesthetic loving owns. The pixel tendrils and digital video distortion are rad. Though my favorite design era overall is definitely the David Carson fragile era stuff.

The Slip is easily my least favorite NIN album. I keep forgetting it exists which is its biggest sin, but I will also go to my grave convinced it’s mostly a bunch of tuned up leftovers from other projects.

I'm not big on Hesitation Marks and especially The Slip. I was pretty happy with the 3 EPs though so I'm interested in what's next.

At the very least The Slip was free so it gets points there.

Discipline is a banger even if it's a little... strange lyrically. 1,000,000, Echoplex, and Letting You, and Head Down definitely all feel like YZ castoffs but that's not to say bad. It's all kinda worth it for the last third starting with Lights in the Sky fading into Corona Radiata. Also wikipedia claims it was original planned as an EP which makes sense why it feels fleshed out with some old castoff material but none of it is bad, it just... is very disparate stylistically. It feels like the Nails equivalent of a G-sides album or Tom Waits' orphans albums.

I have a hard time taking Discipline seriously for some odd reason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1ZMKfFHU3U

Pretty good posted:What's the image after the Demon Seed one? Never seen it before The NIN logo. Also Head Down was one of my favorite of that album, but I didn't see it played live at the concert I saw. Other fun thing for me is I found out my wife went to that concert too before we met each other. I consider The Slip to be the last good album. Only the latest Ghosts album from last year has been bad, but the three EPs have been a little subpar compared to the rest of his catalog.

Wasn't there a note with the slip when it went up that pretty much said "this is the first time I've ever made a full album collaboratively and we did it in like a month so it's free?" Cause it's not a great album but it was the right price.

My dad loves the song Discipline and he normally hates the music I listen to so that alone gives The Slip brownie points in my book.

IUG posted:That sounds like the first Ghosts album. They gave out the first "volume" (so like 6 tracks) for free. Both The Slip and Ghosts I-IV were free. There was a Ghosts EP before the full release. Wikipedia says The Slip was thrown together in three weeks. It felt like an excuse to go on tour to me. Learning that it was supposed to be an EP explains a few things.

This is going to get lost in the new song chat (listening now) but my favorite song off of The Slip has been "the four of us are dying" since I first heard it. There's just something I absolutely love about that bassline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_tsfCpYKdU

Hot drat what a loving fantastic song.Pretty good posted:New song whips rear end, I've never heard of Health what should I listen to if I want more like this I was introduced to HEALTH when they opened for NIN, and they were promoting Get Color back then, so that's the album I always think of first for them. Start there and move forward, imo. Having never heard a single thing from the band, them walking out and dropping this stunning track on me made me a fan forever. EDIT: Tried to transcribe the lyrics but they're very hard to hear in a couple places. TRENT I've been watching drown(?) I will light the match and burn it all down You profit addicting seeping at yourselves (I legit have no idea what this lyric is) All the little piggies cannot help themselves CHORUS: J & T just stop pretending you feel the same nothing matters we're all to blame we've all surrendered to those we serve we get the world we all deserve JAKE you feed (think?) eternity again you think we'll turn away I wanna know your bit in this death is real you think we're turning into you you think you got away we wanna know your bit in this where do we go OUTRO J & T Are you alone?

Pretty good posted:New song whips rear end, I've never heard of Health what should I listen to if I want more like this Get Color and Death Magic both rule, and the singles they put out between those albums (USA Boys (recorded in T.Rez's home studio) and High Pressure Days) are amazing. I think losing Jupiter Keyes severely impacted their most recent album for the worse but ymmv

I’ve only seen HEALTH live once (opening for NIN, obvs) but I was at the front of the stage (I believe it was in Boston and seated with no actual floor) and it was great.

I just noticed that Hesitation Marks isn't on Spotify anymore which is kind of strange. I remember listening to it....last year for the first time in a long time and I thought Trent was trying some different sounds and styles, most of which didn't work, but props for that I guess. Also Everything is such a weird freaking song. Slip has some bangers and is definitely good for the price it came with. Did feel like some leftovers though (which isn't a bad thing but wasn't really anything new).

Weird. I am checking now and it goes from The Slip to Bad Witch. Wonder if it's a Canadian thing.
