Yeah, The Slip is one of the weaker things he's done. All the songs feel a little flat. But it's still an ok album, and it was released for free, so I'm fine with it.

TDS is still the best thing Reznor has done, just from a music production viewpoint.

with teeth is not even close to being NIN's worst, pham. it has some filler, but the good songs more than make up for it.

Worst is The Slip
>>
>>60625187
TDS feels more raw, more unfinished, like Tyler, the Creator's Bastard versus Goblin. I agree that the production of both albums is exceptional, and the man's a creative genius, but The Fragile has more variety.
I will say that "Underneath it All" to the end can't compare to "A Warm Place" to the end of TDS. But overall, I prefer Fragile.

medulla is a wonderful experimentation and a great addition to her discography. i mean, she probably would've tried that kind of sound sooner or later, taking into account the diversity of her discography in general.

you really think Hesitation Marks is worse than the slip, for example?
>>
>>60626301
I really like the ideas on AHM like the chorus in the opening of the track and Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast but a lot of that album is gimmicky and overloaded with ideas. Plus they hadn't come into their own songwriting wise. They didn't know how to write acoustic songs yet, which they would master on Meddle (pillow of winds) and on WYWH and Animals (pigs on the wing, WYWH)

>>60626369
In various interviews and on Wikipedia there's little blips the band mentions about Ummagumma and AHM. They (especially Roger, who isn't happy with anything, including his band mates) didn't like the noodling period album wise, but I imagine were happy with the direction of Meddle. The 80-90's albums are ok (Momentary is much better than Division bell, but that's not saying much.) I'm glad they stopped when they did. They weren't a spent force creatively like Roger claimed, but they could have done better on Momentary i.e had better lyrics and more Pink Floydy type songs instead of a Gilmore led solo thing, but that's because Rick wasn't technically in the band and it shows how important Roger was.

Except that everything written pre-With Teeth are from before he was rich as fuck. And for them, yeah actually, I'm pretty interested to hear about being a depressed drug addict from someone who actually is a depressed drug addict.

With Teeth was about rehab, again, because he was actually in rehab.

Year Zero wasn't about personal struggle at all.

Hesitation Marks was actually pretty hopeful at some points and overall wasn't notably angsty.

Go ahead and complain about The Slip if you want I guess.

TLDR: You don't know the context or content of the albums well and money doesn't make a person happy.

Plus huge swaths of Too Dark Park and Scrapyard were also complaining about drug addiction.

Absolutely. Probably the most contrived, manufactured album they've put out. It's like they took the minimal production from NLDW but forgot the songwriting completely.

Take the track "This is Violence". That song is fucking BORING as hell. Naming the track something that pasty teenage edgelords cum over doesn't make it interesting.
