Favorite DS Song

Piggy and closer. I know it's a tough choice because all of the songs totally
rock, but give it your best anyway...

what's wrong with eraser, it is a cool song, heck, the same could be said
about March of the Pigs, except no one but me has stated that yet
I like reptile and the downward spiral best, although I like reptilian better
than reptile

ruiner. Definitely ruiner. mr. self destruct is also pretty admirable.

that's what songs w/ lyrics are--the melding of word and sound. "MSD"
certainly is a powerful one.

piggy.
the downward spiral (the song) is the best mood piece on the album. By mood
piece, I mean something that doesn't have a bone-shattering beat, or any
noticeable 'hook', just something that sets a mood. I don't know about you,
but I was depressed as hell after listening to that.

I would say that March of the Pigs and Mr Self Destruct are more powerful
than hurt, imho.

songs on the disk. They remind me too much of Broken. Hurt is really good.
As is The Downward Spiral.

Mr. Self Destruct is alright, but I was expecting a lot more out
of it, I don't know why. By far, the best part is the way it goes all
mellow in the middle all of a sudden. Just for a few bars, you can hear
some of Adrian Belew's guitar in the background - that part is deadly.
Too bad Trent didn't use a bit more of Adrian's stuff on that track.

effective for me than "MotP" or "MSD." As everyone's saying nowadays, "a
whisper is far more threatening sometimes than a scream." Or something like
that. Anyway, I liked "MotP" and "MSD," but "Hurt" by far my personal
favorite song off of DS. That and the "brapp!" sound used in "Reptile." ;-)

too much Nietzsche lately.
every track is amazing. it is one of the best albums to come out in
years. by far NIN's best album. i fucking love it.
It is also an excellent album to listen to while under the influence.
Especially while stoned. The layered effects really get you.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this ain't too hard, being that it's one of two albums. i suppose
that if you liked phm better than tds, then phm would be "by far nin's
best album". and i guess that 'broken' is nin's best ep hands down.

Technical technical...
Anyway, I would consider BROKEN to be a "body of work," as is PHM and DS.
Even though it was marketed as an EP, I don't know if it would've been as
effective as a full "album." Like Trent said, something about a short, loud
blast of anger... Hell, some of the early Beatles "albums" are pretty short
(not trying to call a comparison or anything). My point being, don't always
consider what the record companies, etc. are trying to label "art" with.
Then again, running around saying "body of work" wouldn't be bad either.
BTW, BROKEN wouldn't be the best EP "hands down." FIXED, the HLAH single,
etc., are in the running as well.

And later, they'd be jumping around again, with their fists in the air,

These'd be the same kids that were, several months earlier, jumping around,
fists in the air, screaming "and he don't know what it means!!! He don't know

Just observations, is all... Don't get me wrong, I kinda like "Heresy"...

I think we're having a disagreement of terms... march of the pigs and mr
self destruct are louder and have a more driving drum beat... is that
what you mean by powerful? I'm thinking of the song that stirs the most
emotion in me. MotP and MSD are cool, but they don't stir anything
inside of me... I can't identify with them. It must be a personal thing,
but hurt just makes sense to me.

Michael Andrew Eubanks
right off... but for some odd reason, the second time through... I found m
myself drooling a bit much.
to answer to this lovely little poll at any rate...
1) A Warm Place
2) Ruiner (agree that the second half is a bit trite - my first reaction)
3) Heresy
and so on...
notes: anyone thought they were listening to FLA for the first bit of Ruiner
the first time they heard it?
after 3:50 or so, Ruiner returns to a good song, IMHO
anybody out there have _Zigoku_ by Dissecting Table? Is there not some
similarity between its sound and the beginning of "the Becoming"?
I'm a bit surprised some people would say that piggy and closer are there fav's-
they are the only two songs on the album that i have bits i don't feel that
comfortable with... anyone else out ther?
i wish i could say something about this album... i just can't *say* what this
album *is*... it is a bit beyond me right now....
oh, and listening to becoming right now... that DT similarity runs all the way
through the album, esp right before 4:00...

the way I see it, you lump broken, fixed, and the happiness vip promo
togather(as well as the mass consumption mix of physical(if anyone has this I
am looking to trade) and the butch vig mix of last), and you have a pretty
complete lbum, with lots of different entities.
hell, look at evil off from 242(damn good cd IMO), it has 10 tracks, and 6
remixes, plus angels vs. animals if you can find it(I can't)
broken has 8 tracks, plus 6 standard remixes, and 4 more if you are nit
picky(like me). looks like an album to me

Ya, I got it even....It's by Pansy Division...a funny queer punk band...
they like to cover popular 'alternative' songs on thier albums....they play
in the bay area alot for cheap or free...Check 'em out...actually, I think
they played here in Santa Cruz last week....
The single isn't that great...but I love the cover...the songs here don't
really cover NIN that well..

I'm not too good at picking favorites: NIN's best release is the one
that's playing :)
As for songs, nobody has mentioned "the becoming" that I've seen. . . I
really like this song because it carries some of those "personalized"
lyrics that I admire in Trent's music: "the me that you know is now made
up of wires and even when i'm right with you i'm so far away. i could
try to get away, but i've strapped myself in. . ." etc. Kinda
emphasizes Trent's dislike for the fame he's gotten. I dunno. I guess
he likes his audiences & enjoys his shows, but he doesn't like some of
the things that come with stardom (like sausages?). . . That's my guess
as to why he never posts here. He probably doesn't care for everone out
there who asks what brand of underwear he wears so they can get the same
brand. . .
Oh, well. . .
Other fave songs: "ruiner," "reptile" ("reptilian" :), "heresy," "hurt."
Basically all of them. Depends on my mood. . .

anyone else out there liked it as much as I do. I was having a hard time
deciding which I liked better, The Becoming or I Do Not Want This. But
after listening to the CD another half a dozen times this weekend, I've
decided it's The Becoming. I'm not sure I can really give any concrete
reasons why, but there's just something about that particular combination of
lyrics and music that really does something to me. Just my $0.02.

I prefer the "all the pigs, all lined up" version of MotP as well.

reviewer who felt the lyrics are very obvious, except that I think
that beyond the obviousness there's a level of subtlety and even
complexity. Trent doesn't mince words, to be sure, but there are
some complex emotions expressed in that song. And I _love_ the
distorted notes at the end, not to mention the shimmering/howling
notes that go up the scale repeatedly throughout the song.

Yeah, in case you didn't hear on the radio today, Trent is playing two
unannounced shows, tonight and tomorrow (Thursday and Friday) at The
Roxy. Tickets are already sold out... and I am going :)
Tickets were $16.75... I found out about the shows a couple hours
late and ended up paying $35 for mine... but I think it will be worth
it...
