what was that one...it had "wish" and..."gave up?" those two songs were alright minus the lyrics. in fact a lot of the songs were alright minus lyrics. "mr. self destruct" comes to mind.

Those two are on Broken. I like to play it when I need my electronic pop fix.

Har har har.

Joking aside, I'll cop to it, hang my head and admit that Reznor had some interesting ideas on The Downward Spiral, even if the music and the lyrics were dreadfully cliched. The electronics and special effects throughout, especially on "Heresy," were pretty cool. The drum sounds, not so much, but the sequencing stuff on "Heresy" is definitely pretty neat. Also, the way he segued from industrial-pop-metal screechathons into ambient stuff was pretty impressive. Like him or not, you have to admit not many people have done that and gotten away with it.

I also liked the way he sequenced the album - how the music got more and more desperate, strange and intense as it went on, as if the guy's mind was actually going down the tubes. I bet he took that from The Wall, another album with interesting ideas and usage of special effects that got dragged down into crapville with bland-to-totally-nonexistent music and cheap, cliched and nasty lyrics. (Except for "Hurt." That one is good in the lyrics department. Then again, I'm probably filtering that perception through Johnny Cash.)

In conclusion, Reznor's voice is totally unbearable and the biggest reason why Nine Inch Nails sucks. I can't stand to listen to the fucker whinge and screech.

This might be an obvious choice, but i'm not really trying here because if i did then it would get really bad.

Come on...Radiohead is not embarrassing in the least. Did you notice i posted a fucking Expose' album? You'd have to post, like, an O-Town record to come close to that.

We hung out with these guys at a blues club in Detroit. Their music sucks dick but they're stand up fellows. The singer did an American accent that was fucking hilarious.
