Why you guys argue over subjective stuff like "this band is better than this band" is beyond me. All that matters is if you like it.

And this thread and the other one about the album are the very reason why it can't be taken seriously when people here say they are done with SP. Can't even wait until the album comes out to listen to it.

The epitome of hipster relevancy whether or not you agree the metrics speak for themselves that Pitchfork writes the book on what is considered “good music” by the music community

NIN getting good reviews on a website that pulls the demographic for young critically tuned in music listeners=relevant

NIN getting press on fucking local TV for fans lining up 8 hours to get tickets=relevant

NIN selling out venues=relevant

Now I’m done let me go fap to The Perfect Drug live
Oceania = 6.3

i think its about a 6.

ive listened to it twice now, went back and listened to a few that i liked.

travels, alienation are god awful

KOM, with sympathy are both ok at absolute best

SS(Ghosts) and Seek and you shall destroy are both pretty good

Marchin' on is probably the best . song on here . what a pleasant surprise.

and Solara has kind of grown on me, I think its probably same level as SS(ghosts)

yeah i do. i mean, it obviously can't compare to their unholy trinity (two hunters, black cascade, celestial lineage) but i still enjoy it. i know it is a big change in sound and style but it works for me.

no all that matters is that i am right, have better taste than everyone else, and am in fact a better person than everyone else.

As someone who saw both latest tours, this is also wrong.

I mean set list variety ain’t everything but it’s something.

I don't see why it's such a crazy take. TDS is considered his masterpiece the world over. This is how I'd rate his albums, and (in my opinion) there's a similar downward spiral in quality as with SP.

Pretty Hate Machine - 8/10
Broken EP - 9/10
TDS - 10/10
The Fragile - 7/10
With Teeth - 6/10
Year Zero - 6/10
Ghosts - 5/10
The Slip - 6/10
Hesitation Marks - 6/10
EPs - whatever

Yeah I think it's more like 8 even closer to 9. For some reason it's probably the SP album I still play the most. I never got burned out on it like some of the others.

oh I thought you were saying it sucked. I probably am not as into Gish as I used to be because I think the songwriting is more bullshit than the other albums. I can't deny gems like Bury Me though.
