    Me too. I think what he has done with the marketing is pretty smart. "Survivialism" took some time to grow on me, but I think it is ok now. I like "my violent heart" a lot better.

    I heard "Year Zero" is part one of the album. Yeah!

    the frail / the wretched is my personal favourite nin song (yeah, i know they're two songs, but there's no way i'd say the frail is a fave on its own). my first time seeing them trent started playing keys for the frail and my life was completed. fucking amazing live.

    yeah by far, With Teeth is good but like didn't seem like it has near the depth of The Fragile

    Yeah The Fragile is much better than With Teeth. I like With Teeth but I think it is NIN's weakest album.

    Well its about time! :) Seriously awesome album. You can listen to it over and over and still find new things. There's only one song I'm not too crazy about, and that's Pilgrimmage. It just spooks me out every time, but it actually kind of fits in with his current stuff in a way.
    This is my favorite NIN record. It was 4 years from the Downward Spiral and when it came out, it was insane how good it was, just like when Lateralus came out so many years after Aenema. BUT, I love The Pilgrimmage!!!!

    i've owned this album since it first came out back in '99. i liked one song in particular, don't remember the name...but i only really listened to the whole album a couple times and didn't really get into it right away and just gave up on it. seems like a lot of people really think this is a great album so maybe i'll have to give it another chance, although i'm not really a big nin fan to begin with.

    Yeah I also liked it when it first came out. I remember telling people that it was like an opera. The first single was "The Day the World Went Away" which didn't blow me away but hearing the rest of the album was awesome.

    I also love how it is called "somewhat damaged" when the narrator is obviously much more than "somewhat" damaged. LOL

    Had the most ridiculously shit day at work, and Somewhat Damaged is perfectly fitting my mood at the moment, "too fucked up to care anymore" - indeed........
