| Least Favorite NIN Songs On Each Album
list of the least awesome nin tracks for each album. i dont dislike these tracks, i just see them as not as good as the others. all are still good listens though. | 1 | | Pretty Hate Machine Kinda I Want To
previously "That's What I Get"
but now:
Even Trent says this is the worst thing he's ever written. It's a guilty pleasure though. | 2 | | Broken Physical (You're So)
technically a bonus track, but i guess, for me, it just drags on a bit too long. still a great track though. | 3 | | The Downward Spiral Big Man With a Gun
a bit self indulgent for me. trent couldve put a better track out, but whatever. it doesnt interfere with the awesome of this album. | 4 | | The Fragile (Left Side) No, You Don't
Really hard to pick from this side of the album, because it just flows so nicely and is beautifully crafted. i guess this is just the weakest track. | 5 | | The Fragile (Right Side) Underneath it All
also fairly difficult to decide as this side of the album has some stellar tracks. this one is jsut kinda meh. i still really like it though. | 6 | | With Teeth Getting Smaller
not exactly trent as his best, but it still comes out to be a decent track. the good thing is that after this track comes some of the best tracks off the album. | 7 | | Year Zero God Given
i kind of just dislike how trent says the chorus, but year zero seems to be consistent throughout and a very good listen. | 8 | | The Slip Corona Radiata
kind of just noise and i never really got into it. guess you have to be in the mood to appreciate this song entirely. | |

02.15.10 | the title track on the downward spiral would be my least favorite. i like "big man with a gun" a lot, i think it's a fun commentary on gangsta rap and it's a complete thrashabout in the end, which transitions so well into the serenity of "a warm place." otherwise, i agree with most all of your picks. they all look to the be the "least awesome," for the most part.
downward spiral, the fragile, pretty hate machine, broken, with teeth, the slip, year zero is my unsolicited album order. | eternium
02.15.10 | Big Man With a Gun is more about big ego maniacs, plus it fits with the story of the album as it is the time that the character goes completely nuts before killing himself, with likely the same gun. | ThePalestMexican
02.15.10 | Wow, you hated God Given?
I thought it was a catchy listen. | JWT155
02.15.10 | Agree with most except 2 and 7, I like all the songs on Broken. | RobotFrank
02.15.10 | Making me question myself, even though I've always "known" what the song was about.. here's a bit from the source.
"In the March 1996 issue of Spin Magazine, Trent Reznor said the following about this song: "The record was nearing completion. I had written those lyrics pretty quickly and I didn't know if I was going to use them or not. To me, Downward Spiral builds to a certain degree of madness, then it changes. That would be the last stage of delirium. So the original point of "Big Man With A Gun" was madness. But it was also making fun of the whole misogynistic gangsta-rap bulls**t. ... I listen to a lot of it, and I enjoy it. But I could do without the the degree of misogny and hatred of women and abuse. Then, my song got misinterpreted as exactly that. It was probably a lack of being able to write. I've been taken out of context, and it's ridiculous." -NinWiki | crazyblinddude
02.15.10 | oh yeah i know about how big man fits in the concpet of TDS
and it is a beautiful transition into a warm place
i jsut think maybe he couldve done a better track
i mean i still really like it
i cant really find a NIN track that i dont like | thenewnormal
05.15.10 | Gotta disagree with you on 7. that track is straight out balls the to wall - just a fun 3:30 style rock and roll track. that and you know what you are? are my favourite tracks. nice list though, got me thinking | Slipping Away
05.15.10 | These are definiately weaker tracks but most of these grew on my alot especially 8, can't wait to get my new headphones so I can really hear it, although I've always loved god given and no you don't | crazyblinddude
05.15.10 | oh yeah its still a really good track. its just that one part that slightly bothers me. but finding one from year zero was pretty hard tbh. every track has a nice appeal to it. | Parallels
05.15.10 | i love 1
i agree with 8 | crazyblinddude
07.12.10 | i need to update this one lol. 'thats what i get' alone is on my top now. | crazyblinddude
07.12.10 | 'down in it' was the first track i ever heard off pretty hate machine. so it kinda has nostalgia working for it. and i saw it live and it was soooooo good.

pretty close to what it was. | crazyblinddude
07.12.10 | kinda updated the list for now.
i do agree that its probably one of the lower ranking tracks, but it slays live. (im pretty sure every NIN song is better live). 'sin' is really underrated on here though. | crazyblinddude
07.12.10 | now i really hate myself for making this list lol. i put songs i thoroughly enjoy on it. that album really doesnt have one actual bad track on it imo. ill have to make an 'underrated NIN songs list' to make up for it. |
