She like PHM more (she really really really like Ringfinger), I definitely liked TDS more (at the time, I still do, but I like PHM more than my initial impressions from all those years ago). I think the actually physical disk I have right now is the third one I owned but I only ever paid for the first one. The music store my sister and I went to would give you a sticker to put on the outside of your CD/Casette case, and if it ever got scratched or your cassette player ate the tape, you'd bring it in and they'd give you a replacement, which was awesome. They've since gone out of business.

I think i got Pretty Hate Machine next, not sure though. I only own physical copies of a few of 'em (TDS, PHM, AATCHB, Ghosts), but i have the rest digitally.

Now I`ve got every album and get jelous of people who haven`t heard them cos they`ve got the experience to come. I always have to have a physical release or I feel like the sets not complete.

I thought that industrial music wasn't that good. It took me awhile to like TDS absorbing all of it's sounds. I then bought With Teeth and liked that one a lot more. What sold me on loving NIN was when I heard "Hurt" and I found myself crying. Since then I have gotten The Fragile and PHM and the rest of them including DVDs and live albums. I downloaded Ghosts and The Slip for me but still bought the CDs. They are my favorite band and I love Trent and his music. It has changed my life for the good.

I can pretty much remember where and when I got all the others. I know I was dissapointed that they didn't make it to WA for the first Lalapalooza. When I worked at a record store in 93 I swindled my manager out of a promo of Broken with the 3in disc inside.

staticpallour member Right where it belongs Joined: 04/05/08 Location: WPG MB Posts: 198	Not a full length album, but "Everyday is Exactly the Same." And I think I was around 15 years old. It was just after NIN came to Winnipeg for the first time. First full length album was probably With_Teeth though, but my memory is fuzzy on that one. I have too many to keep track anymore! Haha.

fire for effect member Joined: 09/20/09 Posts: 1	The first NIN I purchased was a double whamy. I bought The Downward Spiral and Broken at the same time. I liked what I heard from Downward and wanted to check out more. I never looked back. NIN will always be my favorite band. Later on I found a tape of Pretty Hate Machine in my older sisters shit! Who knew?

PzYKWard member Joined: 08/28/09 Posts: 5	I heard Closer on the radio around 2007 and heard other songs like Everyday is Exactly the Same and Only too. I never really understood what Industrial music was but after listening to those songs a couple of times on the radio I decided to go to a music store and pick up one of Nine Inch Nails' albums. The first album I bought was Year Zero, I was with my girlfriend at the time. I plugged it into my CD player in the car and heard MADNESS with "Hyperpower!" I was thinking to myself "what the hell did I get myself into?!" My girlfriend thought I was crazy ^_^ Anyway, I gave the entire album a chance and listened to it in its entirety. Since then, I've been a devout Nine Inch Nails fan and have bought most of their albums. Simply the GREATEST music I've ever heard.

torturedpoet member Take me to your leader Joined: 09/05/08 Location: The Universe Posts: 974	My first NIN album was 'Things Falling Apart', and back then I didn't know that it was a remix album (I didn't know a lot back then). I bought it on October 13, 2006, which happened to be a Friday (ha! Friday 13th, awesome). That CD was great, I used to sit on my bed and listen to it a lot....... edit: Then I bought 'The Downward Spiral' on April 12, 2007... That was the first major NIN album I bought..........

The_Prowler member Somebody please help me Joined: 05/02/08 Location: Fredericksburg Virginia Posts: 3,556	I think The Fragile was the first one I actually bought for myself back in 2000. I had a lot more, but they were all bought/copied for me by other people. I'm pretty close to having the full catalogue in official releases now
