Every. Song.


Would love for them to dive even more into the Year Zero era.

 

Eden Project night 1

 

^
Twas really good. Probably would've enjoyed it a little more if it wasn't in the open air where some of the sound gets lost but it was a great set. Enjoyed the hell out of Love Is Not Enough.

Also...tightest drum performance I've ever seen live. Rubin's unreal.

 

Night 2

 

I think The Downward Spiral may be my favorite album of all time at this point in my life. I was always a Fragile truther in my youth, and I still think that album is a masterwork too, but TDS just hits different at this point.

 

Other way around for me with those two albums

 

that’s fair. I don’t really think there’s a wrong answer between the two. I just have gotten angrier at the world and sadly more mentally unwell with time, and TDS expresses a lot of that in a v cathartic and to the point way and I think the kinda nightmarish soundscaping is literally a perfect pairing. it sounds how I feel sometimes lol. the EPs honestly are up there with TDS and TF as their best work at this point now too. I’m glad I came back around to NIN over the pandemic.

 

Yeah, honestly there’s not a wrong answer to me either

 

made a playlist that includes the vinyl/definitive edition tracklist of The Fragile but with Ripe (with Decay) still at the end, and the Please Appendage also thrown in, and I gotta say this might be my preferred way to listen to it through now.

 

todays set

 

Sunspots live debut in London today

 

I always wonder how bands like NIN prep for tours when they do wildly different sets night after night. I imagine they work on 30+ songs during pre-tour rehearsals then do extensive soundchecks the day of a show to work out the new shit.

 

They spend literally two months rehearsing.

1 month for production, 1 month for performance.

it also helps when your entire band are world class musicians.

 

whoa wtf

 

Year Zero was based in the year 2022.



I guess it actually was a Warning.

 

They played Isn’t Everyone with HEALTH in France

 

Heresy hitting different tonight

 

Hot take, Nine Inch Nails have been the best live band for almost thirty years.

 

got this in the mail today

 

Yessss.


I remember maybe fifteen years ago, coming across a STACK of NIN promo vinyl releases at a random shop. They were all priced $15-20, and I remember thinking that was waay too much. I couldn’t afford it in high school regardless, but now I wish I just cleaned out my ‘savings’ and bought everything.

 

Finally checking out this band because they’re playing at Primavera LA (which I’m going to)

Broken is incredible

 

Better late than never. They’re one of the best

 

The transition they made from PHM to Broken was truly jarring. Such a great record.
