So I've been reading about Trent Reznor and his escapades on Sup Forums recently and I've decided to get in to nine inch nails. I've never heard a song by Nine Inch Nails.
What album should I start out on? I'm seeing pretty much every chart start with The Downward Spiral. Is this correct?
I'll post my reactions as I listen to it.

hybrid theory
he does curls in the squat rack
Listening to Mr. Self Destruct right now. It's fantastic. The instrumentals are fucking fantastic. Reminds me almost of a Silent Hill kind of ambience or Death Grips.
Pretty Hate Machine and Ghosts I-IV are the albums that got me into them
Start with Pretty Hate Machine.
I'd start with Downward Spiral and continue with The Fragile
I second Hybrid Theory.
Smile, Trent!

Currently most of the way through Closer. Probably the worst track on the album so far. But it's fucking great, easily a 9/10
the fragile
Start with Downward Spiral. Then move to the Fragile. Those are the two 10/10s imo. Pretty Hate Machine and With Teeth are also very good, and Ghosts I-IV are some great instrumentals if you like that sort of thing. I really like his last two EPs, so if you liked everything else those are must listens. Most other stuff is skippable imo
*the nine inch nails
Honestly, Year Zero. It's the best entry-level NIN record.
what are/were his escapades on Sup Forums?
he just dropped in and said hi, gave us a file to prove its him and called someone a piece of shit. maybe some other stuff i missed.
He also posted on Sup Forums from his tour bus once.
that one has been proved to be bullshit actually
Start with Year Zero. If you like the more rock-oriented stuff on the record, go to The Downward Spiral, then The Fragile, then The Slip, then With Teeth, then Broken, then Pretty Hate Machine, then fill out the remainder of the discography if you make it that far and are still into NIN at that point.
If you like the mellower or more electronic stuff on Year Zero, go to The Slip, then Hesitation Marks, then Ghosts I-IV, then With Teeth, then The Fragile, then The Downward Spiral, then Pretty Hate Machine, and then fill out the remainder of the discography if you make it that far and are still into NIN at that point.
mfw One play of With_Teeth turned my highschool country music gf into an industrial grill
Damn. Honestly kinda changes my whole outlook on life.
Basically IMO it isn't a good move to start with NIN's most acclaimed records because they give you a pretty narrow view on what NIN was prior to them and what it became after them. Plus, I find that starting with an artist's most acclaimed work can either turn you off because you think it's overrated or not for you, or turn you off the rest of the discography because you've listened to the best stuff first without any sense of build-up or context as to the remainder of the discography.
can you give a link to the archive?
Don't listen to NiN it just gives you false hopes. You think one day you will be cool and loved like Trent but you are all alone and miserable. Thanks for nothing Trent. Fucking Chad normie faggot.
he might not have posted on Sup Forums but he's a pretty hightiered shitposter
don't be mad because he suppressed his inner robot and made it.
he has normie white privilege
Huge fan of NIN since 1994 here. I think the best way would be to listen to the albums and remix EPs in chronological order, to hear how the music changed from era to era.
The order I listened to was Downward Spiral, Broken, PHM, Fixed, Further Down the Spiral, The Fragile, Things Falling Apart.
I'm not a fan of his work after the Fragile era, but I've definitely heard worse records.
Depends on your tastes in music currently. If you enjoy straightforward alt rock, do With Teeth. If you like electronic music, Year Zero and Hesitation Marks. If you like metal or harder alt rock, The Downward Spiral or Broken. If you love all of them, The Fragile.
>HUGE FAN
>i'm not a fan after Fragile but i heard worse
I love Trent so fucking much, he could shitpost here and nobody would be the wiser.
Remember his old twitter escapades
sure i memba
I've only heard a couple of NiN songs but this is one of my favourite Sup Forums images
Get Broken next.
Also check out the soundtrack of pic related:

Imagine still listening to NIN. Imagine not getting into them at 14, and ceasing to listen to them at ~17. This board reeks of arrested development and regression.
Wow, that guy is top levels of #woke.
Yeah I'm also surprised with the lackluster praise for Broken, it's part of what I feel is the best run from PHM all the way up to And All That Could Have Been, which is one of the few seminal live albums out there for me.
>Being racist and looking for acceptance from a man had been dating a string of black women at the time.
I was 13 when I started listening to NIN.
I was 17 when I stopped listening to NIN
I was 27 when I came back.
I'm guessing you fall in the 18-22 range.
Nigger women are nowhere as bad as nigger men and a select few are actually, daresay, worth filling with white seed.
The PHM tracks on AATCHB are absolutely godly. I can barely listen to the studio versions now because of how perfect they are on that live album.
This. I didn't like any post Fragile NIN when I first got into them, but coming back I found a new appreciation for With Teeth and Hesitation Marks. You need some life experience to appreciate what he's doing on those.
is this dude a midget or something? Those proportions are way off no normal sized man has a head that big

ah he is a midget then that explains it thanks
I'm 26, but "nice try".
don't bully. It was between being a mini tank or a pretty little fuccboi.
>The Background World
>it reaches that part
Well played Trent, I honestly thought my PC was finished for a moment.
Can someone analyze it on a spectograph or something? Pretty sure there will be some numbers or a Satanic symbol of this new ARG hidden.
> The Background World loops 52 times
> Trent is 52 years old
damn...
damn...
F U C K .
he has summoned the ghosts of Dwayne Goettel, David Bowie, Sleazy and James Wooley in the song
Ghosts I-IV
I really need those screenshots in my life!
>mfw I have them
>I've the misfortune of looking exactly like myself
Pls, don't start with the debunked bs. Let me live still hoping it is real.
5'7 master race reporting in.
I really like the idea of Reznor shitposting on Sup Forums
even if i win i'm still retarded
that cavern in his forehead and flat nose is unmistakbable. Keep it alive. I believer too.
Seconded, but the halos contain so many gems, like EL-P's Only remix, or Fennesz reworking In This Twilight.
For Glockenspiel reasons, I always thought The Good Soldier is a great track.
I am so lost with all the halos and remixes, EPs, singles.. Is there an ultimate NIN chart?
>El-P remix
Okay fuck me but I need to hear this, the El-P/Alec Empire collab was also extremely interesting
he does FLIPFLOPFLIPS all day long
>Is there an ultimate NIN chart?
Do you have any fucking idea how embarrassing you are

Flyentology off I'll Sleep When You're Dead is another decent collab. Cassettes Won't Listen Remix

>EL-P's Only remix

I'm sorry for ruining this to you but:

he just keeps getting fatter and fatter.
almost as fat as corgan
Trent hit the gym because he knew it would prevent him from being a fatso in his middle age
didn't pay attention to the one song he should have taken to heart.
Nah man. He's an edgy fuck.
what did he do to you to make you this mad?
why not? he's a pretty big vidya nerd desu
Vidya games and lifting were what helped him get through the first years of sobriety.
Trent Reznor raped my little sister
You people are seriously dumber than I thought.Of course Trent doesn't write on Sup Forums, someone trolled you and copied a photo from this video which is from 2009 youtube.com
settle down, Grandpa Al.
I wanna thank the guy who said All That Could Have Been: Still is underrated, just listened and it's pretty good.
>LOOK EVERYONE IT'S DOOM AND GLOOM
It actually starts the 53rd loop, but it's cut off.
>trent's getting skinnier
>Loop ends abruptly in the 53rd loop
g-guise
Wait...
DON'T DO IT TRENT

no really. he's losing fucking weight and it's freaking me out when combing the fatalism of 4/5 songs on Add Violence..
