It seems many bands that were strong in the early 90's kinda lost their strength later on down the road. Ofc, the degree to which that happened is debatable.

I have Fragile 3.5'd so nope. Too much filler.

Lots of great stuff too



It's hard to find a Double without filler

Exactly though, the amazing stuff is what makes it a 3.5 instead of a 2.5.



If you were to take 1 disc worth of the best songs from The Fragile, it'd probably be at least a 4.5 for me.



With that said every song on Year Zero is necessary and amazing so I don't know how it doesn't get more love. Probably because it's not angry at the world and himself Nine Inch Nails like everyone supposedly wants.

I liked Hesitation Marks, which mostly is the normal formula for NIN with some extra electronic beats. Gave it a 4.



Honestly I'm not one to say older NIN is better than newer NIN.

Not even a little. People just get all pissed when a band changes their musical formula too much. I honestly welcome it.



If anything that was Hesitation Mark's biggest flaw, Trent was trying too hard to bring back the Broken/Downward Spiral fans on some of the songs.

With Teeth gets a bit too much hate honestly



Ghosts is a nice experiment



The Slip was disappointing.

I love With Teeth a lot actually. It literally only gets hate because he drastically went in a new direction.



The Slip is better than most people think it is, but yeah I still have it sitting at a 3.5 since it's not amazing.

Just don't expect an angst filled heroin addict who feels like shit, but instead a post-apocalyptic government overthrow and you'll love it.

"The Warning" is my personal NIN favorite. So good.
