[up]So, in other words, it's not really bloated and it's not sellout? Thanks for clearing that up.

Embarrassing? I really don't think so, especially considering most of his stuff after was downhill from there.

[up]I'm just gonna assume you never heard Year Zero then. Honestly, I shouldn't really care since you threw around the word sellout the way you did [lol]

And Ghosts wasn't anything to call home about either.

...Year Zero was so bad it made Stabbing Westward look good.

That "Wut" was in reference to The Slip which was pretty good by Trent Reznor standards.

...And I'm not exactly a fan of Trent, as you can probably tell by the Heaping Helpings of Incoherent Hate I tend to ladle out when his name shows up.

With Teeth? An abortion of sound.

[up]It was pretty forgettable. The Slip was the first good thing he'd done since The Fragile to me. And then he quit[lol]

So what's your problem with Reznor?

The fact that, out of all the Industrial (or Industrial Metal) artists out there, HE was the one who made it big. He's not bad, on the contrary he's talented, original, and COMPLETELY deserved his place as one of The 10 sexiest men in Rock n' Roll that Playgirl gave him in 1994. It's just that there are better artists out there who are much more representative of the genre who get no fricking airtime. None. Every time I hear "Head Like A Hole" on the radio I can't help but think, "Dig It should be there."

Very yes.

That's actually almost exactly what I'd put on there, Saeg... only I'd probably put Hoppípolla and Heysátan instead of Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása and Svo Hljótt. But yeah.

I deliberately avoided Hoppipolla, partly because even I'm starting to get annoyed with it, and partly because I think even someone who's never heard of the band would probably know it, whether they knew they knew it or not tongue

Also, included Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása for two reasons: 1) It's the central point of Ágætis Byrjun, and serves quite well in that function for this purpose as well, and 2) because I absolutely freakin' adore it. Also, I think four Takk... tracks would've been overdoing it slightly!

I see! Yeah, if you're going for a more general picture of what they're like...

Takk is easily their best though, IMO

[up] Takk.. is an incredible album. I love that while they were on tour for that album, they were interviewed and told that their fans would sleep during their shows. Jonsi said it was an honor knowing that.

Havalina Rail Co. This was harder than I expected. This is serious "the map is not the territory" material here. 10 songs isn't even enough to accurately represent Russian Lullabies or America, let alone their entire discography. Their official greatest-hits album (compiled by the band themselves) didn't do a very good job representing them, and that was too long to fit on one CD.

That said...

  1. Radio | A Bullfighter's Guide to Space and Love EP (2001)
  2. Devil in the Cornfield | America (1999)
  3. Carlos | Space, Love & Bullfighting (2001)
  4. Dominique's Library | The Diamond in the Fish (1996)
  5. Worst Days | Space, Love & Bullfighting (2001)
  6. New Song | Havalina Rail Co. (1994)
  7. Winter | Russian Lullabies (1999)
  8. Bullfrog | America (1999)
  9. This Monkey Don't Take Nickels & Dimes | Havalina Rail Co. (1994)
  10. Twilight Time | Russian Lullabies (1999)

Grooveshark playlist.
