Getting Smaller is a stand-out track on WT.
In the same vein TLBTB is also a stand-out track, but that may just be my nostalgia talking though.

Getting Smaller is AWESOME, although I think Grohl could bang it through Rubin style, make it a bit more agressive, considering the small break in the rhythm during choruses
Hesitation Marks>YZ.
I partly agree, even though I love YZ. Fact of the matter is that a substantial part of my emotional response when I listen to YZ stems from the ARG. The mental images projected by those songs come from all those nightmarish websites. It's a great album, but I think it only becomes a true masterpiece when you add the interactive dimension to it.
HM, on the other hand, is fully capable of standing alone as - possibly - the best NIN album since The Fragile.
I agree with the YZ thing.
I've tried SO hard to explain the story of YZ to people so many times, but it's pretty much impossible. Year Zero was, as you said, is a true masterpiece, with the websites and the buildup. It's a multimedia masterpiece. On its own, it's just a really good album.
HM is definitely fucking awesome on its own. It took me months for HM to really open itself up to me, and that, to me, is the mark of an aurally DEEP, THICK record. I was listening to Copy Of A or CBH in a car with a nice sound system turned up really loud, and heard things i hadn't noticed before. There is a LOT going on in pretty much every song on that album...so many lovely sonic layers.
Is HM>WT? Or Ghosts?
The only song on HM I simply cannot like is Came Back..I really just dislike that song. YZ was too political for me, not really a big fan.
For my taste, HM has way too much whispering. The moments when he really sings are so few and far between they're almost negligible. And people here keep saying they enjoy this kind of vocals, they even say they've been waiting years for this exact record. Where was Trent during recording? In another room?
the perps of attending a stripped-down version of the show...
Closer/head like a hole and all variants of said songs should be replaced with reptile for every single show. Honestly how many times has reptile been played live? A handful of times and for god sakes play some lesser played songs.
To be fair we've now had what, 2 full tours without Closer being played? Not to mention that on the Wave Goodbye shows it was far less common. I agree that there's always room for more less played songs, but it's not like Closer is anywhere near as much of a staple as something like The Hand That Feeds or Hurt is.
Nifty website, I like it a lot.
I meant in the last 8 years. Excluding The Self Destruct tours.
Also he could replace hurt with In This Twilight.
Replace Hurt with ITT? I like Hurt..wouldn't want it to be replaced.
I wish they would start playing the Ghost Piggy again!
Shit, i don't give a FUCK if the band is obscured part of the time. I want to see amazing visuals.
I REALLY hope trent made a fuck-ton of money from the beats deal so he can bring another huge light show.
LITS was a fucking religious experience for me.
That being said, i'm also the guy asking for a stripped down still-type show. I'm a fan boy and i want it all!
I feel quite certain that we will get both.
