This
I've been to see them/him live, listened to the supposed best stuff, listened to the supposed not so good stuff. It just doesn't grip me.

It crept up on me, I had a similar 'not getting into them' thing
They just seeped into my consciousness until I find myself thinking "I might listen to a bit of NIN, today"

that's how they get you
it's what happened to me

They're not for everyone
Each album's quite different to the last, but all within an alt metal/industrial/synth genre of sorts.
(, Wed 23 Feb 2011, 9:35, Reply)
which album(s) do you recommend for faster stuff with more of a rhythm
I like the odd stuff, but doesn't quite work for me all the time.
(, Wed 23 Feb 2011, 9:37, Reply)
You say you have The Fragile?
All their albums (except Ghosts and arguably Pretty Hate Machine) have faster songs. I'd say With Teeth is their more accessible album, Broken has their hardest songs, and The Downward Spiral is probably their best. Year Zero is interesting, more computer/synth based, and has some great songs on.

I do indeed have the Fragile
I know Pretty Hate Machine well, but it is a little too electronic for my tastes (or for my 18 year old taste anyway, so I'll give it another go)

I'm working on getting the others. DLed the new one off the website the other day and am liking that.

The Slip is good
Feels a little thrown together as an album, not very cohesive, but it was released for free so I can't complain!
(, Wed 23 Feb 2011, 9:44, Reply)
I think it's the synth that I don't like...

(, Wed 23 Feb 2011, 9:40, Reply)
I don't mind synths
Though less a fan of '80s-sounding' synths, which PHM is full of, but somehow it still works on that album. Maybe give Broken or The Downward Spiral a listen?
(, Wed 23 Feb 2011, 9:46, Reply)
I think I need to turn off the shuffle and puit more effort in
I have Downward Spiral and With Teeth, so I'll lock myself in a cupbaord and lisetn to them until I like them god dmmit!

TDS is a concept album, so should be listened to in order
With Teeth less so, but it's still made in an order that flows, if that doesn't sound too wanky.
(, Wed 23 Feb 2011, 9:56, Reply)
not that wanky
Lateralus is made to be listened to after you have rearranged it in accordance with a Fibonacci spiral. Now that is wanky. But I love it.
(, Wed 23 Feb 2011, 10:03, Reply)
I gave that a go
It does seem to flow rather well!
