[The Perfect Drug]'s Unimportant Listing of Recent Events.
I don't update journals often. I want you to know that ahead of time... ... but I'll try! #_#

I liked the album, but out of all the official albums(discluding remixes and such) it was at the bottom for me. That doesn't mean much though. I love my NIN. I've been listening to it and it's way up there. I don't think the songs all sound the same, like some have been saying. I mean, they all have different rythmes and beats so I'm not even going to waste my time arguing on that one. I don't have a favorite song. I like them all. I suppose one I really listen to a lot is tack #13.

But anyway...
Trent's lyrics, vocal, and styles of all kind have changed much and yet kept in with a specific sound. I could give a s**t less about all those people that stopped listening to/discredited them because of this album or The Fragile. Everything is due to change, but if something only slightly different is going to terrifie them so greatly that they just hate it then ******** 'em. I actually find it more ignorant than anythign else.

The Downward Spiral was good because is was hard, loud, and attacking. The Fragile on the other hand was more numb, deeper, raw, and emotional.
It's just two different things. Two different types of feeling.
Would you ******** really have been happy if they had sounded the same?
No, of course you wouldn't. You would complain beause it wasn't original and because you wanted something differet! OH GOD! Look at that there!
It seems we've come full circle, haven't we?


Opinions, opinions...


Oh yeah.

I love Closer, ******** Inc. I am not to found of but I like the beat and the remixes are standable.

i remember one specific comment that brought upon my wrath: "i hear a negligable progression on this album"

upon further questioning (i.e: xd what the ******** does that even MEAN?) apparently the person felt that the music hadn't changed enough when compared to his other albums.

that, in my humble opinion, is utter trite. a person should judge a work of art based on its own merits, not constantly comparing it to the artist's other works.

i don't understand this new expectation people have of musicians nowadays. it's like they want an artist to keep doing 180's, constantly surprising and overwhelming expectations, no matter how high they are. i personally think that every artist has a limit of how far he/she can perform these feats within their art, but it is hardly fair to say that because a work is not completely new and astonishing, that it isn't any good. think of art by salvador dali, or h.r. giger. they both make art that is extremely similar to their other works, no one is going to say that giger or dali isn't good anymore because their latest work employs the same techinques (or long legged elephants), as their previous works. each has their own style and they work within that style because it is the most comfortable thing to do, and because that is how their best results are produced.

(ok, a little tangent there... just call me king of the rants.)

it actually tied in with what you said! i swear!
