What song do you loathe (I'm too lazy to go back and see if you already told us)?

No I meant you silly billy, you confessed to loathing BMWAG but still 5'd this... I personally couldn't 5 an album that had a song I loathed on it, 5s are meant to be more or less perfect right?

I think the rest of the material brings it up to that. I know too, that the song itself isn't bad, I don't like it because of how it makes me feel. If I were to just completely remove the track from the album and listen to the whole thing I'd rate it a 6 out of 5. The rating system says "classic" and I think that this is regardless of that song.

Not me, really. I just can't imagine writing those lyrics, even in the context of a concept album. It's just gross. I guess I get writing them to vent violent emotions and being pissed at women, it doesn't really hurt anyone. But, EWWWW!

For some reason that line doesn't give me the heebie-jeebies like "Big Man With a Gun" does.

The whole thing honestly, but specifically "I've got me a big old dick and I like, I like to have fun. Held against your forehead, I'll make you suck it. Maybe I'll put a hole in your head. You know, just for the fuck of it?".

The point of these lines is to show how desperate the protagonist has become and how he's lost his grip with reality and social norms. It's supposed to be disturbing.

Yeah someguest got it, despite some super cheesy lyrics the whole "I've lost my shit and don't care anymore" is something Reznor does really well

I absolutely adore 'Hurt' the most on this one, next to 'Reptile' or 'Heresy'.



Everyone thought 'Hurt' was depressing as shiit, but honestly, I found it to be quite uplifting and somewhat optimistic

Uplifting yep, optimistic no way



And from the clips of NIN live I've seen Youtube they sounded like crap, that is Youtube though
