Its true that not every artist or band gets it right all of the time. I'de be lying if i said i liked every single song by NIN. But im an artist myself and i appreciate trial and error. Thats how you get better at what you do. NIN has been experimenting with different sounds and making music for a long while, and i can say that i do like most of it.

actually i dont like most of the year zero album except beginning of the end, survivalism, god given, meet your master, great destroyer and in this twilight. Oh and the "with teeth" title song isnt that great either.

I seriously have enjoyed all nin CDs and songs ( xcept year zero remixed) other than that each song has represented to me a different area of my life that I can't deny

I am head over heels in love with every NIN song ever made. That does not make me a phony or a douche. It's the truth. Perhaps if there were one song I was least "in love" with, it would be The Perfect Drug.

Getting Smaller is one of the songs that got me into NIN in the first place, actually.

I can't really say that I dislike any NIN song, except maybe Another Version of the Truth, but even that I'll listen to if I'm in the right mood.

I'm with you; I love every song. And every remix. Basically, I love anything Trent puts out.

I personally don't understand how someone could say they enjoy everything a certain artist has done. Every artist has their misses. While artists like Trent obviously have less misses than several other artists, he still has misses. No artist is perfect. Although, it's not like it matters in NIN's case as they have so many hit songs, they tend to negate the misses.

^^^^^^^EXACTLY! although I tend to find something,musically or lyrically, that I can enjoy even in the songs I don't really care for...well all except for Sunspots!

I heard the song "purest feeling"

Wow. Ass. Don't really care for "Kinda I want to" either. Except the end.

Love 'em all. Pretty sure I've posted in here before, but whatevs. lol

You're really lucky if you love all songs because you have more NIN to listen to!

It depends what mood I'm in to listen to different albums, but there's a small number of songs I just never listen to. tbh I don't really listen to PHM, but not because it's bad, it's just cos there's just so much better albums for me to listen to. I probably don't dislike songs actually, but I probably don't think they live up to the high standards I've got for NIN.

With NIN songs I generally like the song or can find some part of the song I like.

Except 15 Ghosts II.

I do enjoy every song, each has it's meaning. Just like Depeche, have special time in my life.

I like almost every Nine Inch Nails song ever made. The three that come to mind that I don't like I actually don't mind. In fact, I don't even skip them, for different reasons.

The first one is The Only Time. How in the hell could anyone listen to that song and say it's worse than any song on Pretty Hate Machine, even That's What I Get (which, despite sappy heartbreak lyrics, is still pretty beautiful-sounding)? On the other hand, I don't skip it because it's just so odd and silly to me. That cheesy, 80's smooth jazz sounding bassline at the beginning, the fat stomping beat, that goofy keyboard riff that shows up in the middle of the song, the odd, nonsensical lyrics about (I'm assuming) wanting to screw a chick and getting screwed by the devil instead, and Trent saying, "maybe I'm all messed up" over and over in the chorus. It's like a creepier version of something he must have done in Option 30 or the Exotic Birds. It's the cheesiest, most dated sounding song I think he's ever done, and I find it enjoyable in a campy way because of it.

The other two are 15 Ghosts II and 25 Ghosts II. Not much is going on: They're just brief ambient excursions. This is ok, though, since they serve as neat little "intermission" tracks and are under 2 minutes.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I'm kind of disappointed that Trent himself actually dislikes The Perfect Drug. It has a great drumpart, a neat little drum and bass jam section, and I really like that sort of mournful ending with the White Wedding-like bass/guitar parts and the "it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces". Very cathartic.

i love ALL of them too. they all have reason, it's like having a book that you love but you hate a certain chapter but all his songs have reason and a purpose and each album is like a story, you wouldn't skip through scenes on a dvd, i appreciate everything he has done. his music is him, and if you don't like a song, that's kind of insulting, but that's just my opinion. i find his albums relate to each other. i am not easily entertained so that's why i love nin.

Nin is the only band I have ever listened to and loved everything I have heard. I am extremely picky when it comes to music. I am a huge fan of many different types of music. I say types because I despise the categorization of music. Yet many translates into a select few that I am drawn to. Trent definitely has the most talent of anyone ever. Not just a musician, lyricist, and songwriter; but an exceptional composer/artist/engineer/producer as well. Most importantly, he is so charged with intense and raw emotions, they spill out every time he creates something new-something that can only occur when you are passionate about what you are doing. Trent will always be an inspiration to me to continue creating what I love to create. I love every song and hope I can continue to say the same in the future. I feel like he is only evolving into someone greater as time goes on. Keep creating.
