I think it depends on what you're looking for out of his work.

Pretty Hate Machine is different from Broken is different frm The Downward Spiral is different from The Fragile is different from...Etc.

I'm ust wondering which is more widely regarded to as their best album, or the easiest one to get into I guess. that way, when I like it I can kind of work backwards :'(

They've only got 3 albums proper anyway, so it's not a massively hard decision. If you want an overview, you could always go for And All That Could Have Been live album, which pretty much acts as a best of as well...

I'd probably go for the Downward Spiral though. Get Broken too, it's more an EP or mini album, but it's got some great songs. :y:

It's funny. You've got Broken, which is one of the proper records (technically), at 8 songs (with the two bonus) being charged as a full album in stores. Further Down the Spiral Is pretty much full length, but is treated as and charged as an EP.

Not sure what I paid for Broken, but it wasn't quite album price... it was more like a typical EP price, but then it might have been on sale.

Hmmm...They charge us like it's a full record.

On the other hand, I IMPORTED two versions of further, each for less than I'd pay for a full record (With import costs included, I paid like 12 bucks apiece...)...Further domestically is like 6 or 7 bucks...

The Down In It single. Nothing else. Halo One is the only album that matters.

I ain't listened to NIN in...goddamn... 8-9 years. Need to get my dog-faced sister to bring round her tapes.

Downward Spiral was quite good as I remember, but can't say they ever did much for me then.

Definitly have to get her to bring'em round.

hmmmmmmmmmmm

The Downward Spiral and The Fragile, get them.

As far as highlights go, the whole Downward is a ****ing highlight.

The Fragile: The Day the whole world went away, somewhat damaged, star****ers inc, the fragile

The Downward Spiral is my favorite, but hey, anything they do is good.
