Pretty Hate Machine fucking owned. I normally agree with the bashing of all things emo but, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that Pretty Hate Machine was in my cassette player for months.

Re: The Slip
I'm a pancreas man myself. The average duodenum is too tight for me.
I must admit, my "Amends on <target>, you are my pretty little hate machine!" macro was inspired by the album's title... as shitty as I think Trent Reznor is, he can still come up with the odd phrase or 2 that catches my interest.

Re: The Slip
I think it's pretty decent. The album that is.

There are numerous ways to turn a sentence into just the opposite of what it was intended to mean.

This is obvious.
What I am saying, however, is that the non-essential elements of a statement can be pulled out in a quotation without corrupting its meaning. This is an acceptable practice used in journalism, etc...
And, as I mentioned, if I wanted to fuck with the quote, I would have.

Re: The Slip
Pumpkins owned.. they lost it not because music changed or because it was rebellious at the time but because billy was an egotistical fuck.. and he never got his stride back after he fired d'arcy and james quit.
NIN went downhill after wish...
the only bands that are still going strong out of that era is the dominating force in the universe known as tool.. and the pink floyd of my generation radiohead.

Re: The Slip
You guys are fags. Either way, NIN and Smashing Pumpkins have always sucked.

Re: The Slip
i love when people argue music. i guess those bands suck so much that they sold those millions of records to our nation of fags.
im sure that you listen to plenty of bands i would deem terrible, and of course i would be correct.

Re: The Slip
Jesus man, when will morons quit debating the "it sold millions, it must be good" logic? People are stupid. The mob will do anything, just throw them bread and games(and shitty music). Put it on the radio, commercials, have the lyrics pasted everywhere. In fact, make the CD cover have a hot half naked chick on it. CD sales is probably the most overrated way to deem a band's worth, ever.
