NIN Confessions

[nooneimportant]

Riiiiiiiight...

So did you do that yet?

Yep. It was bothering me for awhile because I really love NIN but to not listen to The Fragile felt real shitty. Also managed to finally get my hands on Still, which is also pretty great.

Also in regards to an earlier post, I fucking love Not So Pretty Now and Getting Smaller.

Here's my confession : Copy of a is, in my opinion, one the best songs Reznor has ever written. But I don't get the lyrics at all. It's hard to describe this feeling. Although the "Copy of a copy of a copy of a..." loop magically serves the music, everything else is just meaningless.

maybe it's because those lyrics are actually very straightforward and more or less all of the verses deal with being replaceable, generic, of no value. no other hidden meaning in it.

I haven't listened to any of the three soundtracks all the way through and haven't seen any of their respective movies.

+1 except I have listened to the GG st all the way..the others I've mostly skimmed through/listened about half way.

but why? i like the soundtracks (collectively) more than most NIN (oh, yeah, there's my confession), and the movies have all been stellar. is it an intentional decision or have you just never gotten around to it?

[Marie]

My little confession : despite being a NIN fan for a considerate number of years, I only got to see a live show this May (the variety of reasons why I will not bore anyone with). I'm cool with it though, as it was breathtaking from start to finish, and well worth the wait.

[kel]

i haven't listened to a single track off ghosts (minus what i heard during the lits shows -- i even bought the deluxe edition because the packaging was dope), any of tsn soundtrack, any of tgwtdt soundtrack, and have no interest in hearing anything from gg.

i'm clearly not the only one on this board.

no particular reason, just not into hours of instrumentals. i thought the movies were great (and i tore through larsson's book trilogy), though.

[piggy]

I haven't heard the scores, either. I've only heard clips from them. It's not that I don't want to, I just don't buy soundtracks these days for some reason. I did see the the first two films, though, and I plan on seeing GG.

[Joy Prevention Hotline]

I've heard all of the scores but haven't seen the movies. I hardly watch movies anymore, so it probably won't happen any time soon.

Haven't read TGWTDT either, but I might get to it eventually.

(Not the first time I've bought a soundtrack album without any intention of seeing the movie. I got The Accidental Tourist after hearing some of it on TV, but didn't see the movie until years later when I was bored and it was on TV. It was all very … accidental.)

I never cared for Sunspots (actually ranked it as one of my least fav NIN songs) until about a week ago.

That song is the ultimate grower. It took me literally ten years to finally appreciate it. I'm not sure why, but all of a sudden one day it was like an entirely different song that I just loved completely. Weird how things just click like that sometimes.

[pinata89]

The only song that I do not like from the NIN catalog is "The Hand That Feeds." Makes me cringe.

SAME. I used to HATE this song up until a few months ago. And then the same thing happened. One day, I was just like "This is pretty rad". And now I listen to it pretty frequently.

[The_Prowler]

I go to bed every night listening to a Nine Inch Nails concert; usually something from Reflecting in the Chrome. Some nights it's Live at Reading from 2007, sometimes it's the Virginia Beach show from the With Teeth Summer tour, sometimes it's the Kansas City show from the NIN/JA tour with that amazing rendition of Now I'm Nothing. Point is, I almost never go to sleep listening to any other band anymore.

[Volband]

I'm pretty sure it's scientifically impossible to make such a statement, if you are being literal. I get the THTF hate, but that is just way too big of a jump considering the variety of the NIN-catalog.

Hm, my confession is that I only have 1 legitimate NIN-release, so basically I'm a cheap fuck.

all of those movies are actually very good. Fincher is one of the best guys out there

I've only seen TGWTDT (it was free). I'm not a huge fan of his films anyway, and TSN has enough actors I dislike to make me not care. Gone Girl I've been told the ending many times over, so I care little to see that too.


But I listen to the scores often.


(and I've not seen a couple of the Atticus scored films, because really, Broken City look bad)

If I could tear myself away from the net for two+ hours, I might watch Dragon Tattoo.

Edit: And with that, I proceed to spend the next two hours watching … the new Live in Australia video.

It's all about priorities.

[GlitchyFlame]

i haven't listened to a single track off ghosts

[GlitchyFlame]

I only picked up my physical copy of HM today. I don't know why I waited this long, but hey, it was worth it. Even though i've already seen scans of the art, it looks fantastic in person.

[The_Prowler]

I never got to see the Lights In The Sky tour in person. I failed so hard.

BUT at least I have the This One Is On Us DVD. Also, if you watch that version of Only on a UHD TV with the 3D function, it'll blow your fucking mind.

Have you listened to Ghosts yet?

Ghosts I is 27 minutes, surely you can handle that?

[kel]

sure i could.

but i'm alright.

[allegro]

I like Radiohead way more than Nine Inch Nails.

[Ryan]

nuh uh.

Listen please.

[kel]

Listen please.

i liked what i heard during the three lits shows i attended.

only went and got a pretzel once.

Go listen naow!

i like radiohead, too, but not more than NIN...i also don't associate the two bands at all. what made you compare them?

side note: i think "the king of limbs" is the worst thing radiohead has ever done. it is so BORING. in rainbows took a while to grow on me but i love it, now. i literally couldn't listen to TKOL more than twice because i found it so tedious. and then thom put out that new solo album which is also incredibly boring. i wish they'd go back to the kid a/amnesiac days and experiment in worthwhile/interesting ways again.
