I think th reason most people here who are not too into NIN is because you view them (actually its really just a him...Trent Reznor) as a metal/industrial fusion. But honestly you need to be more of a pure Industrial fan to appreciate them the most. Same thing with Front Line Assembly......their Millenium album saw infusions of some classic metal riffs from the likes of Pantera. But the thing is, outside of this album, they rarely use guitars....they came from hardcore industrial routes, and thats where they still remain.
I think Trent Reznor is a talented musician, but I understand why his music is not for everyone (and same goes for Tool.)
