people arguing over a lack of goth in here now?
i don't think trent was ever 'goth'. he may have had that kinda visual style, but for the most part, i've always considered nin to be rock, but with many other elements like industrial, and his more ambient instrumental pieces.
people are always whining that he's not industrial anymore as well lately, and trying to find little bits of new songs that have some semblance of 'old' nin to cling onto.
trent did industrial ages ago, and said himself we was getting tired of it and wanted to do something new. this was before 'the fragile'.
i know there's still some industrial in that album, and some possibly goth undertones with his older lyrics, but really, i feel he was just creating some interesting kickass rock, like maynard or nick cave does in their own unique way.
each album is, and always will be different, and we should all know by now that nin never does the same album twice. (not counting remix releases).
each new album has a totally different direction, sound, style and lyrical motivation, and i think that's what makes them cool albums.
honestly, some people should just buy themselves a new copy of PHM or spiral once a year, rather than any new stuff trent puts out if they want more goth or industrial
