NIN aren't very good on the whole (album, Tool, discography)

Urban-you make some valid points, and I probably prefer MINISTRY as well. THE LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY and PSALM 69 are great great albums. I thought ANIMOS.. was patchy though. What I was alluding to is NIN are still popular whereas MINISTRY are not so much, and for this reason NIN get a rawer deal. I do agree though that some NIN songs can come across as extremley whiny, but check out their new one. you may be pleasantly surprised.

Mamagarmr-THROBBING GRISTLE were way ahead of their time, but I don't find them particulary easy to listen to. KILLING JOKE and NITZER EBB were two big influences on NIN, and NITZER EBB in particular; need reappraising.

Discuss.

I agree with you completely. A lot of mediocrity and only a few truly remarkable tracks.

I still love 'em. I heard my girlfriends mum the other day saying, "Ninety Snails! That's a weird name" - Haha!
Better than the other common comment I hear: "Nine Inch Nails? Sure sounds like they're hitting something with a hammer"! - but that ones not too bad either.

I think I want to call my next band "ninety sails." Let me google it first.

NIN are hit and miss with me. Tracks like Closer are classic, but albums on the whole get a bit boring after a while.
