What Are You Listening To?

[SteveO]

I can handle NIN in small doses...it's definitely an acquired taste Crazy!

NINE INCH NAILS "the fragile" double cd,1999.

NiN is basically Trent Reznor, he enlists musicians when and where he needs them...
got this one from Corey...asked him for a good starting point for NiN, he had no idea but made a couple of phonecalls on my behalf and came up with this one for me...wish i hadnt have got it though...
best way i can describe it is...Prodigy meets Marilyn Manson,add a touch of art rock,prog rock,ambience,grunge and there you have it...a piece of crap!
twenty three tracks on this double disc set, disc one actually gets a like rating of 1.7 overall, but with only four 'like' tracks out of eleven on the second disc this one is let down severely...a problem with double albums in general i guess(the exceptions are obviously The Wall and Springsteen's The River)..even The Beatles dipped out in places on their "white album"...
look, this is not my thing, it may well be yours, but i cant reccomend Nine Inch Nails to anyone...sorry!

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
