@kazera3282 Ай бұрын

@clippedwings0 100% I grew up on Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, Downward Spiral. The Fragile seemed more commercial and not as "raw" upon first listens. But, as I began listening to it while studying for school.. and other times learning more to fall into meditative music allowing me to focus and reflect more.. that's when I really fell in love with The Fragile. To this day, it's my favorite NIN album and I think it's their best masterpiece. Nowadays, simple soundscape tracks like "Another Version of the Truth" and "Together" just bring tears to my eyes and remind me of the fleeting time we have here to be alive.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is probably my favorite trailer for a movie ever. Most of the people going to see the film already knew what it was about so the trailer focused on giving us the FEEL of the movie. And a big part of it was that amazing version of the Immigrant Song. And throughout the trailer the house is getting closer and closer. All the evil is going to go down there. And at the end of the trailer the music is surging until it feels like its punching you in the face. Absolutely beautiful.

I still remember the first time hearing _Pretty Hate Machine_ just after it'd dropped in 89'. One of the best albums I'd experienced.

Soul was an incredible kids movie with an even more incredible soundtrack because of these two. Long time NIN fan, I listened to The Downward Spiral and Fragile on repeat when I was in labor because it helped me breathe during contractions. Sang and danced to The Fragile to my newborn to help her sleep and still do 14 years later! ❤ Thank you Trent and Atticus for giving us incredible music ❤

The Downward Spiral had a tremendous influence on my as a young adult musician in the 90's. It taught me that "heavy" didn't always mean aggro and powerful. Heavy could be emotionally vulnerable. Heavy could be anger and sadness. Trent's brilliance redefined where the lines could be drawn for quote/unquote "heavy" music for me personally. For that? I'll be eternally grateful. ❤‍🔥

Can't believe they didn't include The Perfect Drug here.. to date one of their best songs.

Been a fan of NIN and all of his producing. Since the early 90’s. Love the “Ghosts” albums!

Trent's ability to create songs that hit your core is something very few artists can really achieve. It's so authentic and therapeutic. Hurt is one of, if not the most powerful modern songs ever written. In my opinion. It is pure, cold, human emotion, put into a glass bottle. Both of these guys have produced some of the best music of the last 30+ years without a doubt.

Absolutely fantastic. So happy to have these insights. Love both Trent and Atticus so much.

Social Network soundtrack was a game changer. On par with some of the other greatest soundtracks ever made. Sort of reinvigorated Reznor's creative streak and made Ross a big name in music spheres. Wild pairing but organic and makes sense

Basic piano melody and drones are game changing? LOL!

@@MikeSmithMusicFilm Yes, removed of any composer ego and getting to the core of the emotion. Music is not about how many notes you play, but what you invoke in the listener.

If this is the first video about musicians and their iconic songs, that is great idea, hope it continues

Just watched Challengers and this is a mind blowing score. Phenomenal. Only these guys can do that

The social network score is one of my favorites. It’s one that feels hauntingly sad but beautiful and soul definitely is a stand out as well so much emotion

This is great! I'm glad Trent has the opportunity to break down each if his highlights! He has accomplished so much! I watch him and his wife play How to Destroy Angels togther with that Xotox dude helping them with drum programming! The laser light show was EpIC! HTDA only played 4 shows too!

I hope That One Guy In Tulsa sees this

Same. All the early 80-90's days of NiN seem defined by his aggressive self-loathing, rockstar-persona and all, but it's interesting to hear that even back then, Trent truly cared for what he was doing as a musician in much the same way he seems to do now as an older adult. Really hope that guy in Tulsa will find this video.
