OK Computer vs. The Downward Spiral

[postjack]

If you could only have one.

[scenicworld]

Is it was pretty hate machine this would be a tougher decision for me.

[Crab Mech]

TDS is better than PHM it's ok.

[comfortdesign]

OK Computer is much more replayable but TDS is one of the greatest achievements in music history imo

[Crab Mech]

TDS is more diverse sonically, which for me means super replayable. I also think Closer still hits harder than anything on OKC.

[Crab Mech]

Ok maybe Exit Music.

[friedtofu]

Downward Spiral and not even close imo

i'm TDS on this one but i'd also proffer "Let Down".

If there’s no The Downward Spiral, then Johnny Cash never covers “Hurt”. Do we really want to be responsible for denying JC his curtain call?

[Dad Dog]

id proffar March of the Pigs over Let Down

We are not wishing it into oblivion. Just which one do we prefer.

also (double checks to make sure it's been at least a fiscal quarter since i've talked shit about AMSP) A Moon Shaped Pool is bad too.

I didn't have to spend a millisecond on this.

You could sub in The Fragile here and it's the same result for me.

Moving right past the horrendous Radiohead troll bait..

Hurt is an incredible song and Trent basically just doesn't get credit for it anymore. It's beautiful in its own right and has been the perfect closer to NIN shows for thirty years.

Hurt destroys me every time I hear it. tbh the NIN version is still my fav
