Nine Inch Nails- The Fragile

Vynil version of course! <two extra tracks

This is an easy one for me, Trent Reznors masterpiece is still revealing things to me after playing it so many times I can't remember.

I sent out a "mystery disc" to a bunch of people on that other board when the first one came out because I liked it so much. Kind of hit or miss, but it went over pretty well with some. Fun band. Kind of a harder rocking version of Arcade Fire with some of the same Bowie influence, but mixed with more Joy Division and Pixies.


I've got both of the british sea powers, and they are completely different! The new one is very "popp" to say the least. Its happy sounding and a little laid back, but its very nicely textured and the best way to say it is that the songs sound more linear, less aggressive, and simply its more towards being accessible. I know that sounds like a bad thing, but it is good in its own right. I still prefer the decline, i just dig that sound much more.

Just picked this up a couple of hours ago, listening to it right now, wow, this is probably one of the most unique yet accessible sounds ive ever listened to! its like irish punk rock, its totally cool, but they are great musicians and it really does rock out, and the recording is very well done. I would have never picked this up, thanks for the reco.

Oh yeah, i picked up talking heads remain in light as well, i have never really checked them out so i guess this is a good start, yes?
