    NIN nails was the moment when the 80’s became the 90’s. I remember watching broken and being so terrified and enchanted.

    I was a teenager when this album was released. I'm kinda obsessed with this album, I have the CD, the EPs, the Cassette (on a transparent version, with a slipcase, looks cool), and the anniversary vinyl. Also I still have some magazines with posters, interviews and ads, also The Crow ads. Still looking for the Closure VHS Box Set.

    One of the best industrial albums ever made. I bought the album back in 2008 after I listened to them for the first time. From rushing pace of "March of the Pigs" to the dark "Closer", from the crushing "Reptile" to the calmness of "A Warm Place", this album is a must have for every fan of industrial music and NIN. Trent Reznor is forever a legend.

    I found this masterpiece in the summer of 1995. I was 13, and it quickly became the soundtrack to my life. I'd never heard anything like NIN, and I couldn't stop listening. It fascinated me, and kind of scared me too. Listening to it now takes me right back, and A Warm Place always brings me to tears. It's amazing how music transcends time.

      So much of his music is timeless and adaptable like that. Even Still, as stripped down as it is, won’t age a day. I’ll listen to it 20 years from now and it’ll probably hit just as hard

    Closer was heavily in MTV rotation and dance clubs when it was released. I remember it as being basically inescapable. I remember the video for March of the Pigs and it's single camera shot take being good. I never did bother to seek out a NIN live show, but we've seen and heard about the chaos that was then vicariously. It is striking to hear you claim you weren't alive, which only makes me feel horribly dated, as I remember it well. The '90s were a strange time, but I feel it was America's last f'ng party.
    I'm sure I still have a CD copy from then somewhere. I haven't listened to the whole album in ages. I think my x-wife did the Colombia House 13 CDs for a penny if some of you old heads remember those days.

    It's another of those albums I need to pay closer attention to. So nice to get the experience of a fellow who came later on and could give it his full attention. Wow, Closer was a scandal? I shouldn't be surprised. It was just sort of there when I was in my whatever age it was. Still, this presentation expresses sharper focus needed to give full credit to the endeavour. Thank you!

    I remember the debate was Soundgardens SuperUnknown vs NIN The Downward Spiral
    At 11 years in 1994, I had both records and had a hard time debating which one was better.
    Over time, as you pointed out, it took years for me to really absorb and pick up all the details of each song.
    It was a very difficult record to listen to similar to Ministry’s Filth Pig.
    Dark, heavy, cold, and disturbing

      Đorđe Martinović (also spelled Djordje Martinovic; Serbian Cyrillic: Ђорђе Мартиновић; 1929 - 6 September 2000) was a Serb farmer from Kosovo who was at the center of a notorious incident in May 1985, when he was treated for injuries caused by the insertion of a bottle into his anus. The Martinović affair, as it became known, turned into a cause célèbre in Yugoslav politics. Although the facts of the incident remained in dispute for years afterwards, it played a role in worsening ethnic tensions between Kosovo's Serb and Albanian populations.[1]@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack
