Love em. Trent Rocks my world. :p

"Perfect Drug" is the absolute reining champion of songs from NIN. Those beats were killer, no doubt he had some guidance from Richard D. james of Aphex twin.

Into the Void...

Hurt...

Closer...

La Mer...

Doesn't anyone remember "Broken" or "Pretty Hate Machine"? i'm not THAT old am i?

Once again my friend, you're musical taste is superb and I couldn't agree with you more.

I do believe that albums such as Broken and Pretty Hate Machine were much better then the newer stuff... It appears to me that Trent is running out of things to say and words to say them with in his later years

I met trent..I love trent..I will marry Trent :p

Totally. Naysayers in the industrial community may decry NIN as "sellouts" or "upstarts" or whatever, but over a decade after it's release, classics like Head Like A Hole can still pack a dance floor as tight as most anything by 'officially' cool oldschool industrial bands like Ministry, Puppy or 242 track... Granted, NIN has taken a turn for the silly and often trite, 242 hasn't released anything since Evil Off, and i challenge any rivet head to justify ministry's last two releases as anything but garbage.

However, I think trent is running into the same sort of problem Robert Smith had with Wild Mood Swings, wherein, after doing the angsty depressed thing for so long, you run out of ways to say it, and try something radically different (i.e., something not angsty and depressed) and it turns out well, decent in it's own respect, however, alienating and just generally not up to par. Hopefully Trent will continue to follow Rob's pattern, who after WMS, released the absolutely flooring Bloodflowers.

Don't even get me started on "Deep"...

Amen

Pretty Hate - fixed - broken were fantastic.....Downward and Further Down....were Trents peek I reckon.

His work with pigface saw him coming out with suck - another classic.

Perfect Drug was such a cool single without being too mainstream and the remixes are as good as any I've heard from NIN.

True the last album offering has some 'not so strong' trax but you can't knock starfukkas and the fragile.

Chances are I'll still buy whatever Trent puts out...I'm kinda sad like that I guess.

As for Ministry - whatever happened after NWO?
Its a love affair.....jesus built my hotrod........yeah fuck it!

I have to side with Alliance on this one. When Pretty Hate Machine was released I shelled out 10 bucks for an import CD maxi-single just because it had a remix that wasn't on the domestic version...10 bucks for 1 track...I was nuts for NIN (god, now I sound like a breakfast cereal commercial "I'm koo-koo for Coacoa Puffs!")

I remember snapping up a copy of Filth Pig and rushing home to listen to it. I put it on and sat through the whole damn CD saying "What the fuck is this crap? Is this actually Ministry? Did Al quit and let someone else take over? The next track has to be better than this one..." Then I listened to 'Land of Rape and Honey' to make myself feel better...you know, I think I still have that Filthpig disc around somewhere...I can throw it in a bag with some other old garbage of mine and run down to Hastings tonight and make myself a couple bucks...

my best friend through high school lived by "the code of trent" he used to say so it was absolutly imperitive that i hated nin. now, though, he's moved on to college and i never see him so its ok if our so-called "indivisuality" is comprimised by us enjoying the same music.

im no expert on industrial music like mighty aocm, but i have to agree that it seemed his music seemed to escalate into a less original sound.

it seems like the same phenomon when a sceen is created. the foundation is set with just a skeletal frame and then those associated with that sceen fill in the dirt. its the same that happened to punk in the late 70's. by 81, everyone owned a pair of plaid pants with zippers and a sid lock and chain.

when i look at the perfect drug and head like a hole, they seem somewhat similar though. of course head like a hole doesnt have so much shitty dj dance beat energy, but it has some.

eurotrash drum and bass? whats wrong with drum and bass? its primal... its easy to groove to... it twangs everything from the hairs of your ears to ur deepest libidic nodes...

So does food poisoning, doesn't mean i want anything to do with it.

I prefer my beats to carry some semblance of a rythym. Call me old fashioned.
