Crocodile Gennadiy announced via the Kickstarter updates that Atticus will have Haxan Cloak as a collaborator on the score. Close enough?

I was looking at tension 2013 vids on youtube, and I noticed that Trent didn't play any guitar during the first date in St Paul. Seeing him play Head Like a Hole and The Hand That Feeds without the guitar is just awkward looking. I wonder what his reasoning behind going back to playing guitar on those songs was.

Down, but not out.
In this case, I can still actually see where you and @billpulsipher are coming from. I think all musicians, no matter how loved they are, have that "sweet spot" within their discographies, just like how they have that one ultimate peak in their careers (Or more if they're lucky and/or just that great.), as any successful musicians would. I sometimes like to think of it as the "Capturing lightning in a bottle." phase. (Or albums that could very well be a box set of greatest hits.) It doesn't always have to mean that they always "went bad" or that "The magic/greatness is absolutely gone." either, but Pretty Hate Machine to The Fragile and/or With Teeth depending on who you speak to, seems to be that sweet spot among the majority of Nine Inch Nails fans.
With that being said, I can also still agree with @sheepdean though, since it's all still subjective regardless of the majority's or minority's opinions, and that what truly matters is if you actually like and enjoy what you're hearing individually, even though I still can't deny that what pleases the most fans still matters on some level sometimes, considering how there are still standards to be met whenever it comes to hard work, talent and artistic integrity. I also hope that I worded this right, or at least in a good way, since this almost feels like I'm treading into "Controvesial NIN Opinions" territory.
@kleiner352 - I thought that you would've liked to see this post as well, as I've also been thinking about this since Year Zero came out, and this sort of topic about NIN and discographies in general has always intrigued me on some level too.
@elevenism - I also wondered what you would've thought too, as I can somehow still recall you saying there was something "special and dangerous" about Nine Inch Nails in 1992-1996.

Regarding NIN's "Sgt. Pepper": Ranked #4. (Yes, that result is cherry-picked - but it's a well-known publication from the first page of Google hits for "beatles best albums". And it turns out I agree with that ranking of Sgt. Pepper.)

This is why I love the Gone Girl soundtrack so much. Vacuum Cleaner Opera.

I pretty much agree with that entire ranking, except Magical Mystery Tour would be one or two higher if counting the 1967 singles that the CD versions come with.

Alot of great bands usually have an 8-10 year window where they are at their peak and then start sucking shit or becoming mediocre. NIN from 89-99, PHM, TDS and Fragile will always be to TR what Pornography, Disintegration, and Faith are to Robert Smith or what Black Celebration, Violator and Music for the Masses are to Depeche or what Low, Scary Monsters and Heroes are to Bowie etc...its unreasonable to think TR will ever come close to putting an album out that even comes close to those. Even TR would probably admit that.

Ranking pieces of music on a scale, like it's some big scoreboard, is irritating and pointless.

Yet a convenient way to express your preference for an album/artist over another. Just because the appreciation of art is subjective doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to express that subjectivity. It's an exercise in futility, indeed, but at least it gives a rough estimate of what you think of a particular piece comparatively to a culture or body of work...

Hey maybe you're right, Still/With Teeth/Year Zero/Ghosts/The Slip IS the best set of albums he's released.

Waiting patiently for that Jean Michel Jarre album to drop, where he's collaborated with Trent, Gary Numan and John Carpenterr separately

Richard "shit-stirrer" Patrick posted in a facebook group that the alt version of Supernaut really IS Al Jourgensen after all, and not TR's vocals modified which was what Al said most recently. Who the fuck is even on those versions

I was nobody. Nothing.
I was just listening to fame by David bowie really loud and it occurred to me that all time low is VERY similar. Also, @botley , i think ranking albums is fun, as long as people realize that it's completely subjective. When people argue about this record or artist being better than that one as if it's some kind of quantifiable fact, it becomes irritating.

Omega actually made the intro speech after jourgensen asked her about music and drugs use. You can hear by the low quality of the recording that she was on the phone in a train station, in the middle of Alaska. She was 13 at the time and just hit puberty, as you can hear by the deep quality of her voice, in stark contrast to her previous performance a year earlier. It really was a weird time for Omega.

I really hope there is another nin pizza party tour. Also, people are REALLY strange. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, i REALLY don't. I am an insanely empathetic person. But that whole thing with omega was SO fucking weird. It utterly baffled me. Then again, maybe she knows something we don't. Maybe there ARE nin pizza parties. Maybe we just haven't been invited.

At least it was some good fiction.

That entire story just makes me picture Trent at a Chuck E. Cheese's bickering with Richard Patrick over ski-ball tickets

but WHY? What was her motive? I just can't wrap my mind around it.

maybe i misread it, but didnt she say right after she recorded it, they handed her a copy of it????? what?????

In the history of ETS, this is what is known as "drift" and in the old days, discussions like this could get you a "warning bar" and then you'd get the dreaded "flood control."
