Default NIN OWNES ME.

I think Downward Spiral is the best cohesive album, but the songs on The Fragile are Trent's best work.

Anyone else?

I second the Doinkus opinion.

But you voted for The Fragile, whereas I voted for Spiral.

So, you think the quality of the songs on The Fragile makes the album better overall, even tho Spiral's songs work better together?

The way I see it, Downward Spiral tells a story... each song building on the one before... about a poor manic-depressive shmo that falls for a good-for-nothing chick that stomps on his heart which leads to his suicide.

If the fragile is "about" anything, I can't figure it out... The songs are just cool.

Here's all of Spiral's lyrics... good and depressing... lol:

I voted for The Fragile, because it's my sentimental favorite I guess. Lol... NiN and sentimental don't really belong in the same sentence.

I read an essay on the meaning of The Downward Spiral that I thought was very interesting...
