    Here's my list to kick things off:

    1: The Fragile
    2: Downward Spiral
    3: Add Violence
    4: Bad Witch
    5: Things Falling Apart
    6: Gone Girl
    7: Still
    8: The Lost Highway
    9: The Social Network
    10: Further Down The Spiral
    i really like your list, BUT i don't agree with lost highway's inclusion as it's not an entirely original album or score by trent (and atticus), trent contributed several pieces of music and produced the soundtrack, but i don't know if it should be considered rankable in this sort of list.

    10 further down the spiral v2 / things falling apart / closer to god
    09 gone girl
    08 NTAE / AV / BW
    07 HTDA EP / pretty hate machine
    06 bird box (extended) / waves
    05 the girl with the dragon tattoo
    04 the downward spiral
    03 ghosts i-iv
    02 still
    01 the fragile

    sorry, hard for me to narrow things down

    also, honorable mention to the perfect drug remix EP. besides ghosts, that's probably the release i've listened to more times than anything else, though at this point, it's not as high up on my list of favorites.

    I'd suggest that it might be more interesting to do one of these that excludes the standard NIN albums (no offense). In my case, as much as I love TR/AR's score work, there's maybe room for one or two non-baseline NIN albums in a top 10 list due to there being quite a bit of material there already, and I'm sure quite a few others might feel the same - not trying to speak for anyone though.

    Thanks for sharing the results, how the hell YEAR ZERO is not on that list and Broken is at the bottom of the list blows my goddamned fucking mind.


    If I were to build a list which was an unbiased ranking it would look like this, my personal preference would be arranged differently. This is based on creativity, complexity, delivery, reception, unpredictability, technique, and story.


    Full Albums


    1. YEAR_ZERO
    2. Pretty Hate Machine
    3. The Downward Spiral
    4. The Fragile
    5. The Slip
    Tie 6. Hesitation Marks - With Teeth



    Shorts

    1. Broken
    2. Add Violence
    3. Bad Witch
    4. Not The Actual Events


    OST

    Tie 1. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - Gone Girl
    2. WATCHMEN
    3. Birdbox
    4. Quake
    5. Before The Flood
    Tie 6. The Vietnam War / Patriots Day / Waves etc........


    Odd Singles

    1. The Perfect Drug
    2. Burn
    3. Deep
    4. Dead Souls
    5. And All That Could Have Been
    6. Leaving Hope
    7. Metal
    8. Mantra
    9. Juno
    10. Etc...




    Bonus Unmentioned

    I absolutely love this performance/cover.





    Then there is this gem from the 90s.... (I am now being sarcastic)

    I updated the first post with u/neorev's votes. u/snaapz, I love the lists, but 1 list per person... I can count yours if you can combine your lists into one.

    1. The Fragile
    2. Still
    3. The Downward Spiral
    4. With_Teeth
    5. Broken
    6. Not The Actual Events
    7. Year Zero
    8. Ghosts I-IV
    9. Bad Witch
    10. Hesitation Marks

    This is constantly changing. Add Violence was my favorite of the trilogy for a time, but now not even in the top 10.
