It's quite blatant and obvious isn't it...

I can't think of any other band that has so many punters at either end of the adore/hate spectrum, with very few sitting on or around the middle ground. And it doesn't take research to find this out, most people are pretty vocal about their stance on Tool, whichever end they're speaking from.

LesP, I'm exactly the same with TMV, can appreciate them but just can't like or get into them.

NIN are awesome! All of their albums have plenty of gems (not so much the remix albums) The new album "Year Zero" comes out in April. Here are some sparkling gems that come to mind.

Pretty Hate Machine:
Head like a hole
Terrible Lie
Something I can never have
Ringfinger
Broken:
Wish
Happiness in Slavery
Gave Up
The Downward Spiral:
Piggy
March of the pigs
Closer
The Becoming
Reptile
Hurt
The Fragile:
The Frail/The Wretched
We're in this together
The Fragile
No, you don't
The Great Below
Into the void
Please
The Big come down
With Teeth:
The hand that feeds
Only
Getting Smaller
The line begins to blur
Right where it belongs

I didn't think that were much debate about this. Pretty Hate Machine is good but not really anything else.

Come on, you forgot "Big Man With A Gun"


I still like NIN. They used to be my fav, but I was young and dumb at the time. I take NIN in small doses, but do still listen.

Ah, you left out Sin, Mr.Self-Destruct, Beside You In Time, and Just Like You Imagined!
Anyway, I love NIN. I think they're great. I've been a massive fan of the band for a long time now and my personal favorite album has been and still is The Downward Spiral. But yes, I do also think that NIN (and Tool..my fave band) are two bands that don't really have a middle ground when it comes to fans. Most people either love them or hate them...not to say that there is absolutely no one who might be in between, but for the most part that's how it is, methinks. Oh well, To each his own. Great live shows by the way !

Nine Inch Nails are phenomenal live. If you get a chance, go see them.

Anyways, I love Nine Inch Nails. I'm not a hardcore fan, but I'm in a high middle ground. Their new song "My Violent Heart" is fantastic.

^Definitely. The two new songs that have been released are great! They remind me of something that could have been on The Downward Spiral. Very different from what was on With Teeth. New albums sounds promising.

Tool has the most boreing songs I have ever heard. I rather listen to NIN by a long shot.
