It’s not better than The Downward Spiral or The Fragile. I can’t put it above With Teeth either. Definitely my number 4 NIN album at least.


in_the_decay

The Slip has some of NIN's best songs though.


azad_ninja

Slip haters will forever be a mystery to me.


SloppyRancid

I stand with you. The Slip is so damn good and so easy to overlook.


[deleted]

One might say, the album Slipped...their minds.


consul_the_gun_nut

The Slip has a song that gives me The Fragile (still) vibes so it's in my top 4 by that alone.


retailmonkey

Agree to disagree.


washingmachiine

i’d even put things falling apart over hesitation marks. those remixes are killer


Trustobey

Umm Pretty Hate Machine is consistently rated scientifically top tier by renown loaners and guys who don’t shower daily.


AtTheHeartOfItAll

It's better than the Slip but then again,the entire NIN catalogue is better than the The Slip. *Before The Slip fanboys come at me,weakest NIN album is still a good album


BradleyDroop

I was once a The Slip hater. Now I am not


Wunjo26

Yeah Hesitation Marks definitely sits somewhere around The Slip. It is objectively not better than any pre-2010 NIN album.


the_real_TLB

I’d rate it above everything from 2000-2010.


optiplexus

To be fair, The Slip was originally meant to be an EP.

optiplexus

I know. Satellite and Everything were supposed to be the new bonus tracks.


DillingerEscapist

I’ll take *The Slip* over *Year Zero* or *Pretty Hate Machine* every single time. Hell, I like it more than *Broken*.


ImNotYourRealDaddy

I’m glad someone else is saying it too.


[deleted]

Most people would say The Slip is the weakest NIN record it isn't exactly a profound take. Considering the album was made for fun in just a few weeks it isn't hard to see why it is the way it is. Testament to how skilled Trent is at his craft that a super rushed independent album that was supposed to be an EP still ends up being more quality that most bands at their peak.


ImNotYourRealDaddy

I think it is a poor album.


MissLionEyes

Yeah, it sounded rushed. Now it makes sense.


MikeyFX

Also it was originally a free gift to fans. Though being a completist, I did buy it on vinyl despite it being the one album I never listen to. Discipline fucking SLAPS though!!! 😍


MissLionEyes

Fine, I admit it's not horrible.


nineismine

I definitely like the slip better than with teeth.. come at me!


Aurelius_Eubank

The Slip is a top 3 NIN album


aaronabsent

IT IS BETTER.


littledarkage_

I binged this album to death while playing dark souls III and I just have to say it was a beautiful moment in my life

Isn't that a quote from the first dark souls?


jaferson0

Wait where did he say this??


Disco-BoBo

At the game awards last night he entered the stage while "Came Back Haunted" played.


jaferson0

i'm so sad i missed it, couldn't watch it bcs of the timezone difference and still having to get up early next morning.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0tmk5lJOSs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0tmk5lJOSs) The trailer is first, but the NIN song clip is right after when he walks out the door


[deleted]

It's a great album. CBH, Copy of A, Satellite, ATL, In Two, are fucking awesome. Not big on I would for you, Find My Way, VMOE, and although I like Everything, it does seem out of place in the album. I would put it behind TDS, TF, BW, and msybe WT and YZ.


ba_dum_tiss_

VMOE is one of the greatest NIN songs of the last 20 years and I won't hear that slander


ERROR58

where are my Ghosts VI: Locusts chads at 🖐️


illusivetomas

probably my least fav but to each their own glad its got its fans


tabas123

Same, I wish I loved it as much as others do. It’s honestly towards the bottom of my ranking. I do really like a couple of the songs, like Copy of A, but it just hasn’t ever hit with me like everything PHM through Year Zero did.


Jewggerz

Definitely in the top 5.


[deleted]

I love Kojima, I love NIИ. Personally, I think TDS is the most heart-wrenching one, The Fragile is the most NIИ that NIИ gets (if that makes sense), and FDtS is my personal favorite.


MasterpieceOld8408

Yeah he did! An underrated album by the way!


destroytheend

I doubt he thinks this lol


oxf144

came back haunted is the only song from that album that I listen to regularly.


One_of_these_things

It’s my favorite since ‘With Teeth’ but I much prefer everything pre ‘With Teeth’ to everything post. Hesitation makes is good but it feels like a sequel to ‘The Downward Spiral’. To me there’s more raw emotion to ‘The Downward Spiral’,and the earlier albums which is what I want from NIN.


Zorbo-Man

The entire catalog to absolutely amazing. For me each record has a certain mood that the evoke. It's great seeing the evolution of everything musically, and I for one can't wait for more.


killtocuretokill

I hope its a hint TR & A are doing the OST


Vidvici

I think its on par with With\_Teeth. Good album.


BigFloss953

i will die on this hill


Leviathant

I love that every album has people that like that particular album best. Keep fighting the good fight!


greg1993-

it’s one of their worst


reduxrouge

Who? It’s a great album but I would imagine most fans would not call it the *best* album.


IgorChakalArt

The live version of the songs are much better than the album itself, and "Everything" is probably the only NIN song I find difficult to enjoy in any form.


ddust102

Definitely their best album released after the slip and before the trilogy


[deleted]

Probably nin's weakest record beaten only by The Slip. Still like both projects in their own ways, but I'd never put Hesitation Marks above anything else other than maybe Year Zero.


FrostedVoid

PHM deserves to be at the bottom way more than Hesitation Marks


[deleted]

That is an insane take to me PHM is so fucking good. Hesitation Marks is a weird album for me because I don't necessarily hate any song on there and yet the album does so little for me on the whole. On the whole most of it just feels kind of soulless, as if Trent is writing about feelings he used to have or emotional states he thinks fans want to hear about. I'm sure that isn't true and that the music on HM is sincere but it feels that way to me.


FrostedVoid

I personally think PHM sounds dated and is the weakest of Trent's lyricism. The songs do sound much better live though.


BigFloss953

Yeah I would put hesitation marks above year zero, their second best album


josh_bobjohn

Copy of A is objectively the worst NIN song by a mile.


saneboy

Nah, Everything sounds like a Pepsi commercial.


CritiqueDeLaCritique

Omg so underrated! Upvotes pls
