Although "That's What I Get" is my probably my least favorite



"How can you turn me into this?

After you just taught me how to kiss you?

I told you I'd never say goodbye

Now I'm slipping on the tears you've made me cry"



Also is the worst NIN verse (from That's What I Get")

Nah, there's nothing wrong with an occasionally radio friendly song. It's not by any means one of his greatest songs by any stretch, but it's fun and rather easy to listen to.

No there is nothing inherently wrong with a radio friendly song. Its just that in this specific instance it"s garbage.

It's a mixed bag of alt metal, industrial metal, ambient, and whatever La Mer is

"You can always count on ars to unironically answer rhetorical questions"



Please phrase this as a question, so I can answer it. I suggest "Can you always count on ars to unironically answer rhetorical questions?" and to that, I answer "maybe"

"How are only and down in it related at all"



I exaggerate lol but they have the same structure, weird rapping singing, and the first line of Only's second verse is a direct callback to Down In It. in my headcanon it was a reclamation project to see if he could make the song good



btw El-P's Only remix is a slap

Its a pretty basic song structure so that would most likely be coincidental in most cases and I don’t get the vocal comparison too much, sounds like a common style for him to me too, but I never noticed the tiny little dot lyric thing so yeah maybe ur right

He recycles lyrics a lot due to having nothing to say but not usually word for word. Maybe I’ll do it a google and see if anything comes up correlating the two songs beyond that lyric

lol yeah he does but I reckon when he directly quotes an older song (eg literally any "nothing can stop me now" in the discog) he's usually doing it deliberately. and the tiny little dot thing is such a specific image to reuse as well. but then again I might be ascribing too much to the guy who wrote Big Man with a Gun

If they ever make a Freddy Krueger vs Jesus movie Trent Reznor should make the soundtrack.
