Towelie Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I gotta say, I pretty much slept on this album when it first dropped, but having returned to it recently, I am starting to warm to it.Best tracks for me are I Would For You, In Two and Satellite.What did you guys make of this album?

Strange Broue Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 It was good when it comes out, since then, i don't really listen Hesitation Marks when i'm on a NIN sessionThe audiophile version is much better, imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I would like to love it, but I always lose interest after Satellite. The first eight songs are good, after that the album kind of fizzles out. I pretty much love everything from Pretty Hate Machine to Year Zero, but I can't get into The Slip or Hesitation Marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansin Humanity Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) There's some good shit on there. It's not the best NIN record ever made, but I dig the singles, Satellite, In Two, and While I'm Still Here/Black Noise among others.

Black Sabbath Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Pretty much everything but the song "Everything" is great on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Pretty much everything but the song "Everything" is great on there.^^ I like that one.For some reason, this album took aaaages to grow on me, whereas I usually find their music quite immediate.But once it "clicked" I listened to it non-stop for about two weeks straight."A COPY OF A COPY OF A!!!"

Dan H. Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Ive gotten bored of it. Something just doesnt feel right about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 I kinda lost interest after With Teeth and picked up Hesitation Marks. Am thinking about getting Year Zero and The Slip... Which is the better of the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Year Zero.Pretty sure you can still officially download The Slip for free from the website?Year Zero is the best of the three. The Slip is good, but different. Not necessarily in a good or bad way though.Of the last four, I'd go:Year Zero > Hesitation Marks > With Teeth > The SlipBut I go back and forth between Year Zero and HM. The remix album for Year Zero is really good, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 It's alright, but it really doesn't have enough really strong songs on it to make a good front to back album. A lot of it feels a little bland and underdone in comparison to the rest of NIN's catalog, (besides The Slip anyway) and I think it relies a little too heavily on ambience and mood setting than songwriting.

Chewbacca Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Good álbum, but lacks some stronger songs.Favorites: Satellite, Various Methods of Escape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Various Methods of Escape is Trents best song in a long time. Great album but Everything is terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Not much passion to it but there's good stuff on it. It's just not that exciting or interesting. There's just nothing as epic as The Day the World went Away or rocking as The Perfect Drug. Edited May 26, 2015 by wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I really like it but then again I like every NIN record a helluva lot. It's more shaded in and has an intriguing, dripping kinda texture, I really dug The Slip but damn was it very clinical and sparse, without too much emphasis or deliberation on the mood itself, hard to explain, This had a lot more bells and whistles, not as cohesive as his older efforts but that's fine. Various Methods of Escape, Satellite, Copy of A and While I'm Still Here are my faves. Copy of A is brilliant, it starts out like a tiring parody but the goddamn hypnotic loop becomes adamant and infects your brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
