I have this suspicion that a lot of NIN fans are neurodivergent. I don't have much to back this up, apart from the only 2 people who I've been messaging with both love NIN too.

So my question is: who on this forum loves, or likes, NIN?

I liked them when I was in high school, but I haven't really followed their output since The Fragile.

I have most of the releases up until (and including) The Fragile though.

Excellent! Did you grow out of them, you think?

I guess so. They were a good gateway into other industrial like Wumpscut, Suicide Commando, Hocico, etc; but my musical tastes kinda shifted too. I ended up really getting into hardcore/crust/grindcore/powerviolence type stuff and that interest kinda consumed most of my attention so there wasn't much left for other styles.

I know what you mean, there are so many music styles out there, you can't follow all. You stopped at one of their best albums though. The Fragile is my 'therapy album'. Whenever I feel stuck within myself, I listen to it and feel less unstuck.

I was 'I prefer the early NIN over the later NIN'. Pretty Hate Machine and Broken are good, as well as the remix albums Fixed and Further Down the Spiral. The rest is hit and miss as far as being in my preferences. That said I respect Trent a lot, I respect his influences, just that for sound and style I'm more of a pre-Process Skinny Puppy and Pop Will Eat Itself Fan when it comes to industrial and adjacent sounds (My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult has some good stuff as well but they're even more hit-and-miss, kind of like Pigface).

Consequently, that means NIN went out on a high point as far as my awareness is concerned. :P

Much better than a lot of acts that drag things out into mediocrity. I wish Antichrist Superstar was the last Marilyn Manson album I was aware of. :lol:

How do you feel about Frontline Assembly?
