since the first comment didnt help at all, i suggest that you listen to the downward spiral, the fragile and year zero first and go from there

Fuck you. All NIN albums are essential fag.

listen to every main album (including broken) until the fragile, then if you don't like any of the sounds then you won't like NIN at all.

True, you can skip Ghosts though

Fair enough

if we are talking strictly essential, only downward spiral

all

"Ghosts" is the only good thing Trent has done since "The Fragile".

Pretty Hate Machine (1989)
Broken (EP, 1992)
The Downward Spiral (1994)
The Fragile (1999)
With Teeth (2005)

...

Wow

way to make yourself sound like a vapid shallow high schooler my man

Their latest EP's are pretty killer.

>Still
>5

every time

Still is amongs my favourite NIN records f a m

No Year Zero and the EPs?

The Downward Spiral
The Fragile
Year Zero
Hesitation Marks
Not The Actual Events
Add Violence

Rest god tier too. These are the absolute best works though

...

...

It's just one guy that posts that shit every single NIN thread just to trigger people.

Fucking cringe

Year Zero sucked and I included the only EP worth including.

>Year Zero sucked
>I included the only EP worth including
Broken is overrated.
Year Zero is a master piece.
The recent EPs are some of the best work.

Literal pleb """""""opinions""""""".
Get the FUCK out of this thread and never come back.

>That sudden voice change from With_Teeth to Year Zero
Was anyone absolutely surprised by this? For a while I had no idea I was listening to Trent.
The Downward Spiral, Fragile, Year Zero, and EPs.
But every NIN album is worth listening to, these are good starting points to get you used to their sounds.
The Fragile hay have much more tracks and harder to get through but it has much cleaner sound, The Downward Spiral is much more agressive and may be hard to get used to at first.
Year Zero is very electronical, agressive and varied.
All three are concept albums. They are the pinnacle of great NIN.

>Was anyone absolutely surprised by this? For a while I had no idea I was listening to Trent.

Quitting drugs and starting to pump iron all day will do that to you.
You go from being a little emo bitch that can only get boypussi from Brian, to a sexual t-reznosaurus that destroys midget philiphino pussy all day.

>that Sandbag burn

10/10

retards

Brian, why are your vocals dying away in the newest single? Why didn't you progress from The Pale Emperor? Your fucked up vocals from drugs and shit worked genuinelly wonderfully on it.

Name Top Ten NIN's best songs now.

this was a first draft

Wrong, I remember seeing this shitty rating when it popped up.
The one you are showing us was the last one after bunch of anons called out the user for scoring Still that low

No, I just feel that each release tells a story of what was going on in his life at that time. To skip is to do yourself a disservice.

this is pure cringe lmao

This is a very good observation and I feel like that about NIN albums as well, each of them feel like a story from beginning to end.

I think he said the rankings were reflecting less of the rating of the album and more on where he was in his life at the time. Whatever the case, it's the worse of his trentposting. Everyone has their strike out. Consdering he did the Bowie and the Aayliah one I'll forgive this autism kek

>I think he said the rankings were reflecting less of the rating of the album and more on where he was in his life at the time

Why did The Downward Spiral and The Fragile get such huge ratings then?
The Fragile may be considered his suicide note as it includes "La Mer" which Trent wrote when he wanted to drown himself in an ocean.
And the song in translation stands for "ocean"
And the album's cover is a close-up of a waterfall.

brion get halp

>La Mer
Well, not "ocean" but "sea"
But my point still stands.

I'll just name "the best" and I will make a rule to name from only one album, to make it harder for myself and to highlight more albums (two for The Fragile, it's a fucking double album)

1) Ruiner
2) The Day The World Went Away
3) The Great Below
4) The Line Begins To Blur
5) In This Twillight
6) Various Methods Of Escape
7) Burning Bright
8) This Isn't The Place
9) Head Down
10) Leaving Hope

...

Lights In The Sky
The Four of Us Are Dying
Corona Radiata
Demon Seed
Echoplex
Head Down

Damn I forgot how good The Slip was. With a little more polishing and and a better marketing campaign it would have been at least With_Teeth level recognition.

In no order

Pilgrimage
Into the void
Ruiner
Happiness in Slavery
Get Down Make Love (cover)
Kinda I Want To
Survivalism
10 Miles High
Down In It
Ripe (with Decay)

>The Fragile may be considered his suicide note as it includes "La Mer"

"La Mer" was not originally intended to be part of The Fragile.
It came out from a separate creative period, it was most likely intended to be part of it's own album (i imagine it would've sounded like a more lively Still most likely).
It's just that it was the only track that managed to came out while Trent was contemplating drowning himself every day, so he put it in The Fragile.
However it's fair to say it inspired "The Great Below" as a consequence, probably as a way for Trent to give both tracks a better, proper context within The Fragile itself.

It’s a shame the remaster cut with decay off from ripe

Don't forget also about "Adrift and at peace" which is from Still being a sequel to La Mer (said by Trent). So you are probably right about that

>Survivalism
Fuck yeah, that song goes in hard.

They look like Game of Thrones characters

That is because the remastered version is from Vinyl and the Vinyl version was always like that for some reason.

There is a picture where Trent sat on Game Of Throne throne.

...

None

Fuck yeah, The Slip is great, ranks really high for me.
And it did have a pretty good marketing, I mean Trent released it for free in all formats.
That may have damaged it though, as people look at it as "that free" album, rather as "that fucking kick ass album"

>with little bit more polishing
The lack of polishness makes it special in my opinion, it is slippery and feels very urgent.

lmao they had to put her in front of Trent to hide his nine inch gut

Here guys, while this thread was going on i made a new version of the roadmap.
My previous version was too clusterfucky.

I hope the fruits of my autism please you, i tried to stay as objective and rpatical as possible in order to avoid triggering any of you.

is that richard patrick on the top left? he looks like him

OP I fixed your picture for you

I am a small man yes I am and I got a small gun

Plebs believe this

I am getting tired of The Downward Spiral being praised as the "BEST NIN ALBUM", I got tired of it, it is an amzing record, but I feel like what came afterwarsd has so much more to offer to the listener, stuff like The Fragile or Year Zero feel much more impressive to me.
TDS's a classic, but I don't find it that impressive or captivating anymore, perhaps I heard it too much, but newer works more impressive now. I can clearly see Trent's growth musically through his career

The Fragile will always be a classic and his GOAT, unbelievably good album that holds up and has enough content to make every listen interesting and exciting.

I really like how The Fragile isn't agressive but mostly confessive and sad, if that makes sense, it seems more mature in comparison to TDS. Some lyricism of The Fragile is wonderful (I'm Looking To Forward Joining You, Finally)

What's wrong with the remix albums?

I don't know what user's problem is with Year Zero remixed and Fixed, they're great.

downward spiral was by far their best album, broken was meh

kek

I think they're absolutely awful.

Year Zero remixed has some good stuff
Fixed is a strange package

Take a melatonin and put on fixed as you fall asleep. I fucking dare you.

You just have shit taste.

>I don't understand or appreciate coil: the post

wew lad

I take melatonin everyday
All sounds the same

TDS is a masterpiece but The Fragile has more depth and lasting power trough repeating listens.

Even Trent agrees, sorta, that's why he released the instrumental version recently with extra tracks.
He went back and listened to it focusing on the instrumental and he got a ghost-like experience.
Makes sense considering his current collab with Ross.

Stop assuming, i like pic related.
It's just that those two didn't click for me at all.
Stop insulting other people just to validate your own taste in music, jesus christ, how childish.

In the end it is Sup Forums user, people will call you fag for not liking a thing, it's normal here.
Yeah, it's frustrating and immature from anons, but this is still one of the best possible outcomes, at least music discussion is taking place

At least we’re not on reddit, where having a minority opinion means you’ll get downvoted.

Oh, fuck the voting system for posts in general, anywhere, it makes me sick so many website have put that forward in so many comments.

It’s pretty funny seeing what people will do for a virtual score on the internet.
It discourages discussion and free speech.

I took a weekend a few years back and listened to them all.

Pretty Hate Machine is the only one worth multiple spins.

An unpopular opinion for sure. What makes you enjoy it more than the rest?

I always found that to be the worse NIN release

PHM is addictive as shit.
I went trough a phase where i'd listen to PHM and all the alternate takes over and over every day for like a solid month.
In my experience it's an honeymoon that doesn't last.

PHM is by far the straightfoward catchiest NIN release but it lacks the depth of The Fragile and such.
PHM works best if you keep it in cooldown periodically and then come back to it after a while.
