CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm a huge fan of Nine Inch Nails. The way Trent Reznor plays with and organizes sound is amazing, and I own and like multiple NIN albums. The Downward Spiral is an angst classic, too -- great for when I'm in a horrible mood! Have you heard the new album yet? I had it on my iTunes but I lost it when my hard drive crashed. 
At least it waited until the day after I turned in my last paper of the quarter.

I like the DFA remix of "The Hand that Feeds"... but I like almost every remix that DFA does.

Nine Inch Nails is one the best bands to come out of the 90's. I can't even say I don't like any his songs. He's just too good of a musician.

I think Pretty Hate Machine was a piece of pure genius, an absolute work of art.
Anything after that...meh.

No, can't say that I like them. Just too dark and depressing. Plus, the way he often throws out the anti-christian bone, it just irks me. I can't even say that I think they have good music. Too sterile. JMO

Nine Inch Nails are awesome, but the new album hasn't grown on me yet. If you like NIN then you should at least get a copy of The Downward Spiral, definitely no bad songs there. I don't even think Trent has made a song that I would consider bad.
NIN too sterile?

I'm normal, it's everyone else who's stiff
He's such an exceptional musician - absolutely love his music, esp Pretty Hate Machine...just a shame about some of the ungodly lyrics 
Often a problem I find with music I love (Killing Joke are my favourite band of all time, but some of Jaz's lyrics..........oh dear!); then there's Ministry, RevCo, Jane's Addiction... ho hum

Uh...me, too - wasn't that clear from my post? The problem is, I love my husband, and wouldn't want to hear people saying (or singing) bad stuff about him. Same goes for God. It doesn't upset my religious standards (cos I haven't got any!), I just love my Father & my Saviour, and don't enjoy hearing people running them down.
But I do LOVE the sound of the music - it's a dilemma!
Hope that clears that up.

Haven't - love it - listen to it - enjoy it...
...just don't feel so good about some of the words...
...Also, if the words weren't an important and integral part of the song, it would just be an instrumental (and then there wouldn't be an issue!). You can't actually seperate the two. I'm talking about music I love, that really rocks me, with brilliantly written lyrics (if they were cr*p I couldn't enjoy the song), but I just don't feel comfortable with the sentiment.
Please don't get the idea that I'm ignorant & uneducated about music, and would dismiss as rubbish any music just because I don't agree with the lyrics.
Personally, I haven't got any time for Marilyn Manson - not because of any of his shock tactics, his lyrics, or the music (absolutely LOVE the sound); it's just because I don't particularly like the sound of his voice (karaoke Manson would be amazing - all the tunes, with the vocals cut out - yay!), and I'm not very impressed with his apparant assertion that he's some great innovator - Trent Reznor, Jaz Coleman & Al Jourgenson were all at it DECADES before MM ever put in an appearance!
But now we're WAY off topic!
On with the NIN show...
