now guys, don't get me wrong; i listen to a lot of music, but i have to admit that my favorite band has gotta be NIN. After i listened to the cd the first couple times, i didn't enjoy it as much as i'd hoped, that's all. So far, i think that all of his previous records are better (my fav being the Downward Spiral).
this record isn't bad, though, it just seems (dare i say it??) too commercial, like he was trying to make all the songs a single that could be played on the radio. they aren't bad, they just seem a little ... formula. it's not a bad formula, but i can't help but parallel NIN to Linkin Park on this record.
oh, and for all of you who play guitar, i figured out the chord progression for "Right Where It Belongs." simple, repetitive, but i think it's my favorite song on the new album.
Main: EM DM Bm GM
Chorus: Am CM GM DM
