madison Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 According to the RIAA database, NIN's With Teeth album has officially gone gold, which means it's sold more than 500,000 copies in the U.S. alone since its release less than two months ago. http://www.riaa.com/gp/database/default.aspKeep rocking Trent.

UziSuicide05 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I've heard Terrible Lie, Closer, Head Like A Hole, and Hand That Feeds and liked them all. What album would be a good starter for a beginning NIN fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're awesome and totally broke new ground in the music world. But all of NIN's albums are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also the name of a single on the album - and, in my opinion, it's not as strong as the other tracks. But it's still good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman1987 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) When i first heard with teeth(the song) it scared me shitless cause the part when he sing "I cannot go through this again" i raised it really loud then it went right to the chorus which was really freaking loud. but, i loved the album, alot of emotion in trents voice.and for the kid that wants to start out, get downward spiral, then pretty hate machine. If you like those then get the fragile(I loved that album too ). Edited July 1, 2005 by batman1987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I would go for The Fragile cos it really the peak of his talents. You've still got rocking songs but the whole album is a work of art. Pretty and Downward can be a bit heavy handed. The Fragile is his best if not his most successful album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaughtInAComa Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I'm actually surprised it's not sold more.I'd actually rate With Teeth as a good introductory album to NIN, it's, IMO, more accessible than the others, especially Downward Spiral, which if you don't know what to expect, you might dismiss as being down right weird.

kou88thaz Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 My first cd was Broken, which is my second favorite. I would go with The Fragile first. It is so fun to listen to the songs in order, it really is a journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Child Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 My brother got the downward spiral a couple of years ago. I thought some of the songs were abit weird but it had some good ones on it. He then went on to buy the fragile and i just thought that was damn weird. But then i began to listen to it more and began to really like both albums so got pretty hate machine and with teeth.

swlabr Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Only gold I though it would have been MEGA MEGA Platinum (over-exaggerating). But I seriously, thought it had sold more. Great album none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually when I'm introducing NIN's music to friends, I play songs off PHM and kind of "ease" them into the more bizarre tracks. Then, over time, as they get used to NIN's music, they start seeking out the bizarre and innovative tracks. Funny how it works that way.

Gillian Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I got the album the day it was released and everytime I hear it I love it more and more. The emotion Trent puts into his work is pretty much unmatched....the listener can get the same wave of emotions. (talking about all NIN's work)Unfortunatly there is a lack of Canadian dates He needs to haul his ass to Edmonton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sings with such gut-wrenching passion, emotion and angst in all of his albums that it draws the listener right into his world. He's even more passionate in his live shows. Truly an amazing performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccoTides Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 The new album is alright, I like it much more than "The Fragile." Songs like "All the Love in the World" and "Right Where It Belongs" are just incredible.As for starting someone out on NIN, I'd go with PHM first, then jump right into The Downward Spiral. I started with TDS, but found it way too dense and heavy for a first-time NIN listener - Luckily, after hearing and loving Pretty Hate Machine, I went back to TDS and it was smooth sailing. :krider: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
