Looks like Pretty Hate Machine will be the first NIN album I’m listening to today.
Yesterday was listening to a bunch of Sun Ra.
Really like his early stuff from the 1950s.
Sounds like a swinging big band on an LSD trip.

I listened through all my Erasure albums yesterday (via a mega mix).
In addition to the aforementioned The Innocents…
-Wonderland
-The Circus/The Two Ring Circus (remix album)
-Crackers International (EP)
-Wild!
-Chorus
-I Say I Say I Say (partial album only)
That’s where my discography stopped. I lost interest buying their music after ISISIS.
JEDIT: OMG they have put out an additional 12 (proper studio) albums? Yikes.
It was pretty good. Heaps angrier than the first album though (not a bad thing).

Broken was what broke NIN for me. I listened to PHM constantly in high school. Broken came out, I listened to it, and it was heaps angrier than PHM…and I hated it.
In time I came to appreciate a few of the songs, but it was still the beginning of the end for NIN for me.

Yeah I definitely see that viewpoint. I just really liked the newfound aggression. Also:
This was really good. Had a great atmosphere. A bit less angry than Broken, it seemed more like a self-pitying type of anger instead.

The guitar-only track of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Awesome, funky and sexy as hell.
The bass-only track is next.
Ceci n’est pas une signature.
*imagines several bass flopping along race track*
I’m somewhat of a bass player myself.
Ceci n’est pas une signature.
I delayed the BSSM bass tracks to listen to some very interesting pieces by John Frusciante first:

Especially Untitled 5 is very catchy.

After finishing the bass tracks, I’m moving on to this.

I especially recommend Hew Branderson and Unending 126 mix.

The Fragile was great and With Teeth was pretty good, but I was just really bored by Year Zero. Maybe I’ll grow to like it with repeated listens.

I skipped past Ghosts but I’ll get back to it at some point. The Slip was pretty enjoyable though.

I’d heard the singer from Linkin Park mention how much he enjoyed this band, so I figured I’d give them a try. I really enjoyed this album.
Terrible cover art aside, I enjoyed this album heaps as well, though not as much as Adrenaline. Apparently these are two of their weaker albums, so I’m looking forward to what’s coming.
This was good, but kind of forgettable. I’d have to listen to it again to give any further insight.
Much better follow up. I enjoyed basically every song on this, even the over the top songs about orgies and groupies and stuff.
I heard the song Lateralus and really enjoyed it, so I figured I’d start at the beginning of Tool’s discography. This album was alright, not one I’d come back to in a hurry, but I’m still gonna listen to their other albums because of all the universal acclaim I’ve hard for the next three albums.
Loved it, probably my favourite since The Fragile.
Another good record, not standout or anything, but I did enjoy it a lot.
I reckon the rest of the album pales in comparison to the first track, but it was still good.
Now I’m all caught up on the Nine Inch Nails discography (not counting remix albums) and I’m eagerly awaiting their next album due soon.

i really like “tentative”, from soad. i think it’s from Toxicity.
I forgot what thread I was in and my sleep deprived brain thought you were talking about tentatively toxic soap…
All good. My favourite was the two SOAD albums, my least favourite would have to be Ænima.

Freshman year of college (1991) the assholes directly across the hall played “Alive” on non-stop loop 24/7 as loud as possible.
I’ve hated Pearl Jam ever since.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Jam#Ten_and_the_grunge_explosion_(1991–1992)
Vedder later revealed that “Alive” tells the semi-autobiographical tale of a son discovering that his father is actually his stepfather, while his mother’s grief turns her to sexually embrace her son, who strongly resembles the biological father.
Hahahaha ok.

It could have been your favorite song of all time. I guarantee you by the time the semester was over, you’d hate whatever band it was too.

Roy Budd died too soon.

Here’s a clue… Grab the spinning rings. It’s important. As long as you’ve got the rings, you’ll be okay, even if
you hit any hazards. Now you know.
Oh, and don’t worry if the
view suddenly changes. It does that sometimes. Just keep moving in the direction you want. It may take a little time to get used to it, so keep trying.
