Anyone pick up Year Zero? Great album, much better than With Teeth.
Don't think it will top Pretty Hate Machine or The Downward Spiral but what can?

one of my VERY favourite bands... really cannot get enough of them...
saw them in february in manchester and it was one of the best shows i've ever seen 
seeing them on august 21st with foo fighters, august 25th at leeds and august 30 in wolverhampton!! haha can't wait
as for year zero... fuckin WOW!
it's great! i love everything trent has ever put out, and this is no exception!!
it's ridiculously good 
legendary band
I forgot to add that And All That Could Have Been is one of the greatest live albums of all time.
Just as well Year Zero is good as I was thinking it was time for him to get back on the smack!

If it's even close to Pretty Hate Machine of The Downward Spiral, it's worth looking into. I shall have to check it out.

Shellshocker, pick it up.
Album of the year so far.
And yes, Closer is class, but prefer StarFuckers Inc. That fat Courtney Love cracks me up every time.
I invested in it when it came out, i have to say i'm very mixed about it, started listening and thought it was good then tailed off into bordem, maybe i haven't given it enough spins yet, so we'll see,
love them so much
you're right about the and all that could have been live album, soooooo good
the actual song "and all that could have been..." is one of my favourite NIN tunes

Yeah, more often than not, I have to give something multiple listens in order to give it a fair rating.

It is hard work, but persevere. It's worth it.
Trent was right in describing it as a 'Bomb Squad style' album. The use of synths are fantastic.
Must pick up the new DVD at some point.
Can anyone explain the elaborate concept behind year Zero? I understand it's supposed to represent a dystopian future, but what's the crack with the tshirts and the mass marketing etc?
Heard the single and wasn't impressed, not enough to listen to the album. That single is TERRIBLE, has a beat like
Haven't had the desire to listen to PHM or DS for awhile, but you are right, those albums

I thought exactly the same thing, but in the album context it is great.

Year Zero is the best album i've heard this year!! 
Good God.
Ban this thread!!
NIN are just the worst kind of faux-faux-goth-faux-techno tripe imaginable.
Utter wank.
I'm with the metalkidz on this one Fradley, NiN are excellent. What could be better than an avowed NO/JD fanatic making mental tunes with machines????????
Don't like everything, but some tunes are just blissful from a musical and technogeek-trainspotter point of view.
PS, better than PHM or DS?...how about Further Down The Spiral, depends just how disturbed you are really, and how disturbed you'd LIKE to be.
i know they have their haters
but they are always gonna be one of my fave bands.. bring on august i say!
fookin love em

Hey Jack, what about taking a really wet shit in a paper bag, then lying on the floor, holding it over your face, and letting the contents of said bag spill out all over your gob?
No? Well, I guess that's just for the 'ardcore NIN fans.

What the man says. The DVD pays for itself w/ just a couple of the stills incl. Sets a standard eh. A Dream field all their own. TReznor made his History though might just be too smart by 1/2, at Times.
I only have With Teeth and the Hurt single, can anyone recommend an easier album of the band to get into please? :)
the downward spiral
go and buy that... then buy the fragile... then pretty hate machine...
but aside from albums, NIN also have some AMAZING ep's.. such as "broken" which has some of the best songs on it in my opinion, "last" and "happiness in slavery"
when i saw them in february, last was the best live track
they are simply class :D

I think it should be first Spiral, then PHM, then Fragile. I've never heard Broken though. *blink*
First PHM, then Downward Spiral, then Fragile, then Broken.
