    Help me with the math here, North. I have two numbers, 4.00 and 3.68. Which one do I use, ">" or "<"? TIA

    Yea, your math is quite bad. The fact there are more reviews and ratings than PHM is why your math is off so i hope that helps.

    So Downward Spiral gets almost twice as many people to take the time to rate it, and they average to 4.0...but of the true fans, the hardcore NiN fans...they rate PHM significantly lower?

    Yea, because lets face it there are a lot of stupid people out there that actually think DS is better. Meanwhile PHM is so kvlt that only true fans know of its greatness.

    The Fragile is my personal favorite NIN album. Gonna pull the trigger on the Vinyl when he does the re-release because the original pressing is close to $300.

    Ranks:

    • Fragile
    • Downward Spiral
    • Year Zero
    • The Slip
    • Broken
    • Pretty Hate Machine
    • Hesitation Marks
    • With Teeth
    • Ghosts, etc.


    Didn't care for the latest EPs like Bad Witch and Add Violence, but I appreciate what he and Atticus are trying to do. Give me stuff like this any day though:

    And don't give me any shit... I own ALL the HALOs and bootlegs! PHM was Trent stealing his style from when he played keyboards with Slam Bamboo and trying to incorporate his depression into it (check out the 55 second mark!):

    Mr. Mister - Welcome to the Real World

    I've listened to this album three or four times now. Not because it's good. Because I can't decide what to think about it.

    The first thing that hits me is OMG 80s MUSIC. Not good or bad, just...wow. That is soooo distinctively 80s. And that's kind of a thing, when a sound is so recognizable it can be placed in an instant.

    I'm not sure what it is. I think the major record labels had certain groupthink ideas on how drums should sound, from a production/engineer standpoint. The bass guitars of pop acts all kinda sound similar too, a kind of semi-prominent janky sound. Very clean spatial aspect to the recording. But most of all, the synths and keyboard. Lots of pad and synth sounds.

    The A-side of this album is what makes it so tricky to decide where this album falls. Because the B-side has some juice--Is It Love, Kyrie, Broken Wings. The A-side is, in some ways, forgettable bordering on lame. But it's actually almost compelling.

    My entire life, up to this point, consisted of Mr. Mister being a Top 40 type pop band of no account. A catchy song or two that gets pushed by the industrial music machine. Worker bees, not creatives. I actually wanted to be wrong about that--I was willing to admit that I had made a mistake.

    But I don't think I did. There is more to Mr. Mister than 'worker bee'. But they never actually make a new sound.
