01.02.10 | you just gave me the reason i needed to listen to this again...i like the first song then when i get to piggy i just get annoyed and shut it off but since its so low on here i guess ill just skip that one |
dylantheairplane
01.02.10 | something about Piggy just drives me insane, it has no flow with the rest of the album. It would be 14 but Eraser is just...nothing
I still think its a fantastic album altogether though |

01.02.10 | ya im still trying to get into NIN but damn is it tough for me |
dylantheairplane
01.02.10 | get The Fragile, its better than this. and its kind of like a big mash up of all the bands sounds. It is more likely you will find something you enjoy on that than this album |
SebaceousSecretion
01.02.10 | Eraser at the bottom?! |
dylantheairplane
01.02.10 | yes because I find it boring. Its just a repeating drum pattern for four minutes |
SebaceousSecretion
01.02.10 | I guess I find it sort of meditative, to each his/her own though. |
eternium
01.02.10 | This is likely my favorite album of all time.
Piggy and especially Eraser are both amazing. Yes, Eraser is repeating, but it's building up to the emotional ending. I love these sorts of things, but of course I also love post-rock/metal, if you look at my ratings. |

01.02.10 | The Becoming is so underrated. Reptile and Eraser would be near the top for me. |
darthbarf
01.02.10 | The Becoming is terrifying |
crazyblinddude
01.02.10 | interesting
seems pretty reasonable
id probably switch eraser with big man with a gun
but i definitely think the becoming should be at the top
very underrated song |

01.02.10 | Wow. I'm surprised that Ruiner is so low. I love that song.
But cool list though. |

"something about Piggy just drives me insane, it has no flow with the rest of the album."
"i like the first song then when i get to piggy i just get annoyed and shut it off but since its so low on here i guess ill just skip that one"
Piggy is brilliant, starts the concept off brilliantly, is an excellent contrast from Mr. Self Destruct, the drum solo at the end is INCREDIBLE and to those who say it has no flow with the rest of album, you don't understand how appropriately it fits near the beginning.
"yes because I find it boring. Its just a repeating drum pattern for four minutes"
You ever heard of ambiance? the song is incredible and to say it's a "drum pattern for four minutes is completely undermining how terrifying and brilliant it is.
the greatest album of ALL TIME. |

01.02.10 | your positioning of Closer is overrated, its not THAT good of a song, its main popularity comes from that funny little line in the chorus.
And I still stand by my statement that Piggy has no flow with the rest of the album, it just feels so out of place. Still one of my top 20 favorite albums though |
Chewie
01.02.10 | shit I mean Ruiner where the second Reptile is |
The Computer
01.02.10 | Eraser higher. |
AliW1993
01.02.10 | good to see heresy so high |
JWT155
01.02.10 | I'd have Piggy, Eraser and Mr. Self Destruct higher. Definitely agree with Hurt in the top spot though and it's good to see Closer in its right place, great song but imo not the highlight of the album. |
Chewie
01.02.10 | the lyrics in the chorus have nothing to do with why its so high |
Prophet178
01.02.10 | Chewie's ranking is legit. |
JWT155
01.02.10 | In HS, one of my friends always joked around with this weird kid and would always say 'I want to F*** you like an animal', lol. |
Tulannical
01.02.10 | Such a hard album to rank. The songs I've listened to the most (and would be near the top) are Hurt, The Becoming, Ruiner, and Closer. |
dylantheairplane
01.03.10 | I agree with you, it is a hard album to rank. There is nothing really that deserves to be on the bottom of the list because its just such a great album.
Not to mention how everyone has personal favorites from it. (But its pretty much obligatory to have Hurt as number 1) |
Tulannical
01.03.10 | Haha true, Hurt is just too good. |
