Some questions for you guys
Which EP was better, this or NTAE? We had plenty of time to listen to both of them by now.

How is the third EP going to sound like? More like NTAE or Add Violence?

Not as good as Broken.

Broken is overrated, f a m.
Every release expect for Pretyt Hate Machine is better than it.

how the fuck is it overrated?

NTAE is better for me. It felt more fresh when it came out.

You honestly really think With Teeth, The Slip, Hesitation Marks, etc. beat Broken?

don't try to argue with post-90 nin fans

Yes. Especially With_Teeth and Hesitation Marks.

[spoiler]SOMETHING IS GONNA GET BROKEN[/spoiler]

NTAE is better purely for the intro and outro being some of his best songs but I think add violence is still pretty good and fits together much more nicely.

I was mostly meaning to compare Broken to The Downward Spiral which I find to be better in every single aspect. And I find Year Zero and Hesitation Marks to have much more to them than Broken, these EPs also feel more varied and have more to them.
Don't get me wrong though man, I fucking love Broken, I just don't think it is such masterpiece, I think "Wish" for example is one of the most overrated NIN songs right next to Closer.
Happiness In Slavery is one of my top NIN songs, but as a whole Broken isn't such a well put package as NTAE is for me at least.
I totally forgot about The Slip. I have no idea, for me they're on the same level.

get ready

Woah...

Broken was great, however it was a blueprint for TDS, The Fragile and AATCHB/Still, just as WT was a bluueprint for Year Zero to The Slip and Hesitation Marks was a Blueprint for the NTAE and Add Violence onwards. Reinvention has been a factor which seems to be ignored by many. They just get dismissed as weaker then the others.

Anyone else excited we are getting another concept record with the full lenght? The implications of a story in these two EPs makes me juice myself for some reason.

I probably prefer Add Violence, it feels more complex and varied, and I also feel like Not Anymore is more aressive than The Idea Of You and hits much harder. The emotions that are present in Ad Violence are pretty hard hitting, especially "This Isn't The Place"

Down in it

[Shut up!]

LESS THAN

[Shut up!]

Second call back to Down In It, first one being in Only

Add Violence is NIN's best work since The Fragile

I was thinking about this yesterday. I don't know how to feel. Both are the best thing reznor did in a while, but add violence is less choerent and feels less complete than NTAE

Just listen to both:

1. Less Than
2. Branches/Bones
3. Dear World,
4. She's Gone Away
5. Burning Bright
6. The Lovers
7. This Isn't The Place
8. Not Anymore
9. Idea Of You
10. Background World

>Less Than that high
>Background World that low
why.

All of NTAE is more upbeat than AV, except for Less Than. That song fits best as an opener. Meanwhile Background World can be only a closer due to its ending.

Oh fuck I am an idiot I thought this was song rating, sorry user.

T Rez is too prolific to create stuff that's notable anymore.

It's listenable but not notable.

How the fuck do you keep on putting out so many EPs and albums under How to Destroy Angels and NIN without becoming derivative?

You can't. That's why everything after Year Zero doesn't have any significant character to it. It's all just the same drum machine and laptop production, with that Swarm synth which sounded great on Year Zero, but now he uses it on fucking everything which is like adding hot sauce to every meal you eat. The whole shtick has become predictable and bland.

It's ok to listen to, and does come up with the odd cool track like Less Than, but just not that interesting overall these days, and the fiery tracks just remind me of that same middle aged soft boner sound that U2 had when they released Vertigo.

That song should have had a music video of a middle aged man locked in a bathroom having done viagra frantically pulling his dick and mouthing the lyrics in desperate preparation to shag his fat, saggy wife while she sits in the other room watching Deal or No Deal.

bad opinion

Yeah, NTAE is so predictable as is Add Violence.
Hesitation Marks doesn't even sound anything like Year Zero, neither does The Slip, each albums have their own look as well.
>the odd cool track like Less Than,
That's a good track, but worst off the actual EP f a m.

Sure . Hesitation marks sound exactly like ghosts

And Hesitation Marks sounds EXACTLY like Not The Actual Events.
It's funny how is it so easy to spot someone who actually doesn't listen to NIN discography

Are you fucking kidding me? with this shit? have you listened to both albums in synch when you were under the shower?

wait i am confused

lel. we were both Ironic. You thought I really meant to say that ghost and HM were the same and I thought you really meant to say that HM and NTAE were the same.

We were being sarcasting user to point out how retarded user was, the user which claimed everything after Year Zero has no character.

One of these anons knows what irony/sarcasm is.

Yep. That's what meant.
I feel pretty retarded now

Hesitation Marks was refreshingly different and The Slip had plenty of variety so idk what you're talking about

He only listens to the singles, that's the only way.
