My first NIN album that I bought was Year Zero right when it came out. My mom worked at K-Mart during the time and she worked to lile 11 pm. I told her to pick me up a copy and she did. Whenever, I got it I popped it in my cd player and listen to it all the way through. I love NIN since!

Year Zero aswell. Then about a week later I bought With Teeth and The Downward Spiral. Was hooked immediately with Year Zero. smiling smiley

Well, I bought "And All That Could Have Been" first at a local CD & Books trade store because it had "Closer" on it. I wasn't very much skilled with nin when I bought it.
In actuality, the first cd I had was a copy of The Fragile that I burned from the local library. (Yes, I couldn't believe they had The Fragile.)

First album I bought was PHM in 2006. Then With Teeth a couple weeks later! Been hooked since!

Bought With Teeth after hearing Hand that feeds. Was different from everything I'd heard before having grown up on MTV2 & Kerrang! TV. I then bought Year Zero and was completely blown away and have bought every album apart Broken & Ghosts I-IV cos I'm jobless and can't afford them. I have of course taken advantage of downloading, but still want all the albums.

I didn't buy my first NIN album, because I was a broke-ass teenager at the time. But my brother bought it because I begged him to, so the first album was With Teeth. Unlike the majority, I have a fondness towards With Teeth because I grew up with the album. The backdrop of "branching out", feeling comfortable in one's skin in turn helped me get through some personal problems of my own. That's why it ranks higher on my favorite NIN records than older material.

In order:

With Teeth- Roughly May 2005???

The Downward Spiral- Summer 2006

The Fragile- August 2006

Further Down the Spiral- 2007

Broken- 2007

Year Zero - April 18, 2007

Year Zero Remixed - Fall 2007

Pretty Hate Machine - Winter 2007/2008

Ghosts I-IV- The minute it was available to download

The Slip - The minute it was available to download

2006.Heard hand that feeds on the radio and thought it was ok......heard only and gradually started to like it more and more....heard everyday is exactly the same and totally fell in love with it..At that point i KNEW i had to buy with teeth.I really knew nothing about nin at the time.If someone would have asked me to name one nin song before i heard those songs from with teeth i wouldn't have been able to name one.I bought with teeth in apr of 06.couple months later i started downloading nin songs out of curiosity..it was dark but still very appealing...couldn't believe how connected i felt to the songs..eventually i set out to download EVERY nin song i could.But since i liked the band so much i still bought the albums.i now view nin as the greatest band of all time.

With Teeth in June 2005

 

08/12/09 8:27 PM

The Downward Spiral in 1994.

 

08/12/09 8:42 PM

Year Zero; after hearing Capital G I was hooked. Bought TDS shortly after.

 

08/12/09 9:32 PM

The downward spiral in 08, right around that time they came to my city but I decided not to get tickets because I didn't know if I liked them yet. I'm an idiot because nin is now one of my favrorite bands and I'll never get to see them live. Nobody ever comes to Nebraska.

You bought it when you were 11?* Fuck, at that age I wouldn't have been able to even just pronounce/say "nine inch nails" correctly. XD




*Yes, I checked your profile like a sad stalker because you look hot in you avatar. XD

In 2007 I bought Broken. I'd been given With Teeth and Further Down The Spiral the year before, but hadn't really given either of them a listen until early 2007.

 

08/13/09 2:09 AM

And all that could have been when it came out, i already had MP3 versions of albums, but i thought it was nice to pay the artist.

 

08/13/09 1:51 AM

TDS in 1994.
Then Broken, then I started to collect the halos.

phm on vinyl 1991

 

08/13/09 2:54 AM

PHM in 1991...got it from a friend on tape...in those times there still were tapes..lol

 

08/13/09 3:59 AM

The Downward Spiral, 2002 or 2003.

 

08/13/09 4:10 AM

PHM in 1990 on tape as a birthday present cause I kept going around singing the chorus to Head Like A Hole for months on end. (Seriously I still have the note from my grade school teacher explaining her concern to my parents).

After that I didn't get another one till The Downward Spiral (my first CD) in 1994 at one of the warm up shows in AZ. Got it for $10 back when it was cheaper to buy the CD at the live show than at a store.

Immediately after TDS I stayed on track buying everything when it first dropped and started collecting every single in crazed fanboy obsessive need (i.e. multiple versions of the same single just because something noticeable was different from another).

 

08/13/09 5:30 AM

With Teeth, 2005 ! just read about their comeback, ans so i got to know them.

 

08/13/09 5:43 AM

The Fragile right when it came out - I became a fan during the interim between TDS and The Fragile. Actually bought The Day The World Went Away single before that, but the question was on albums...

 

08/13/09 7:08 AM

Ghosts, sometime last year (The Slip was already out then). tongue sticking out smiley

 

08/13/09 6:17 AM

the fragile, year 2000... thank god a friend of mine introduced me to them with a tape a few months before they came to italy so i had the chance to see them! downside: not having bought any record from them (the fragile did cost too much sad smiley) i didn't know the lyrics... but i still had a great time!
