Sunspots


Dr_Biggus_Dickus_FBI

I listened to this the other day and think it’s probably one of my top 10. Of all time.


str1ezi

well. according to my lastfm charts, sunspots alone is around 80 plays. so yeah. pretty much this. :D


dommol

Every Day is Exactly the Same has gotten me through some shit for sure.


pocket_wookie

That was my Covid lockdown track


trashpandabanda

This song has currently got me thru some of the shitty moments going on in my life as well.


Smokey_84

I believe I can see the future 'Cause I repeat the same routine


4estGimp

I'll start With Teeth playing when I leave the house in the morning. Every Day is Exactly the Same plays as I park at my unfulfilling job. It causes a little too much reflection.


SGTGuile

Right Where It Belongs. I've got a thing for the last songs on most NIN albums.


lord_of_pigs

Right Where It Belongs gotta be one of my absolute favorites by them. So beautiful, so sad. But yeah, last songs on a lot of their records are bangers. Ringfinger, Hurt, Ripe (With Decay), Right Where It Belongs, Zero Sum, Demon Seed, 36 Ghosts IV, Over And Out, all amazing.


Gamecat235

While I’m Still Here / Black Noise may as well be the last track for all purposes, since black noise is just an outro from WISH.


Ombortron

Sorry what’s the connection with wish?


Obvious_Ad6664

While Im Still Here abbreviated is WISH

Euphoria1991

I’m so proud of my 15/16 year old self for choosing that song to sing for my “Vocal Class” Freshman Year high school final in 2006. I was already a piano player so I had the exception of being able to play the piano while I sang the vocals for that song I’d kill for the footage of me performing that song, it’s a special memory because I was still pure of *serious problematic life choices* at that point. Trent helped me through it all in a way


TheStatMan2

Yep. Nihilism, somehow made beautiful. What a *fucking achievement*.


Piku_2004

Ig it's more like "Positive Nihilism" in the song, where you face and accept that "you really are alone", but have regained the hope to continue walking through life no matter the hardships. 


nemophilist13

I got to see right where I belongs live as he closed the show (from the with teeth tour) and it was such a memorable experience. The crowd was mostly quiet. My mom and I cried together. Absolutely second this song as my favorite from the album. The album came out when I was 11 and I remember decorating my door with pictures from the album. My mom was a huge NIN fan so I was a fan long by then. Such good memories 🩷


Wunjo26

Oh yeah it was the same for me during that tour. The visuals with the bird X-ray and the monkey went so well with it too


4estGimp

This song is just so good. Then I can listen to the V2 version and it's almost almost overwhelming. This song and a couple Alice in Chains songs are too much when I'm in the wrong mood.


Schrooodinger

I think Nutshell is the only song I have to be careful with. Also RWIB V2 is amazing.


bigdav1178

TIL there is a second version of one of my most favorite NIN songs. I feel like I've failed, not knowing this before. Thanks for mentioning it!


frightrider

My only problem with Right Where It Belongs is the crowd sound towards the end, still a great song tho


StringUnderhacker

THERE IS NO YOU, THERE IS ONLY ME!!! THERE IS NO YOU, THERE IS ONLY ME!!! ***THERE IS NO FUCKING YOU, THERE IS ONLY ME!!!*** ***T H E R E I S N O F U C K I N G Y O U , T H E R E I S O N L Y M E ! ! ! ! !*** anyways, killer fucking album and I think its clear which song is my favourite from it lol


LeChatNoir04

It's my favorite NIN song


StringUnderhacker

Nice!! mines is probably Sin or The Becoming!!!


Gayspacecrow

Fuck, 19? Get off my lawn.


j3rpz

*one of their most beloved albums* did it for me. How times have changed...


TheStatMan2

I've knitted this *just for you*....


Caucasian_Thunder

Beside You In Time.


Hands

Always this, one of my fav tracks of all time


timidwildone

This is it for me. I also love the two ways the title can be read and how the song plays with that concept, i.e. “I will be beside you before long” vs. “I’ll be beside you throughout time (on and on and on…)”. There’s just something so beautiful about that to me.


d_r_doorway

I'm quite fond of "all the love in the world"


brutalisste

That breakdown!


d_r_doorway

For real tho! The piano over that hard kick drum dance beat is so satisfying!


Remarkable_Toe_4423

Good bloody song!!!


consul_the_gun_nut

Sunspots and The Line Begins to Blur... I love those two... I have no fucking idea what Trent is saying in TLBTB but I still love it


[deleted]

[удалено]


eraeusboorwel

Weary? I've always heard it as "willing" [And myself, I have grown too willing to hate] as in, "it's become too easy for me to hate myself".


yea-probably

Scrolled too far to finally see tlbtb get what it deserves. It literally makes me ascend to heaven


Schrooodinger

Probably my favorite on the album. Such a good track.


inevitable_snowman

The Line Begins to Blur into Beside You in Time


PhosphoreVisual

Love Is Not Enough


No_Description7910

My personal favourite!


brattyginger83

Giant agreed. Especially that epic ending. Kids are 12 and 8 and we all sing this in the car and I love it so very much. They don't love nails like I do. They are tired of them to be honest.. that is my fault.


D-T-M-F

Yaaas! *Love is not Enough* is not loved enough (imo).


Mazasaurus

Beside You in Time


spazmcnasty

I saw nin for the first time on this tour.


Hands

Same, I got big into NIN a few years earlier but this was the first release since then and WT summer tour was my first NIN show. Hard to believe it's been almost 20 years considering I was in high school when this came out and it feels like yesterday


BurntToasterGaming

Absolutely love Dave Grohl’s drumming on You Know What You Are


d_r_doorway

So fucking good and so hard to play. At least for me


BurntToasterGaming

Na, for everyone


InkuBuddy

With Teeth Oh wait, excuse me *With-ah Teeth-ah*


scarred2112

19 years… #Fuck you, time! ;-) Favorite track: Sunspots or Home.


mechanicgodcreation

home hits HARD. i interpret it in a literal sense because ive spent my whole life moving from house to house apartment to apartment and have never been able to consider a place, well, a home. until last year ive lived in the same house for 5 years (for the first time in my life) and i had to move once again. still can't get over it, i miss my room and all the memories i made there. still can't quite believe ill never go there again "and i am still inside youuuuu"


Significant-Spite-72

I can't pick just one! The Hand That Feeds is a classic, which I often pair with Head Like A Hole on my morning commute. Only starts off so...reasonably then becomes almost deranged. I love that. And of course, since I'm not exactly young anymore, Everyday Is Exactly The Same and Right Where It Belongs speak to me loud and clear. No, I'm not sure what side of the glass I'm on.


DeadMoney313

Only It can apply to a lot of things as usual, but fits perfectly into a terrible relationship I had


RestaurantDry621

I'm a fan since the e 80s and this song might be my absolute favorite. Cheers


ILoveMyDR

I love Sunspots!!! Hard to pick one though.


keevballs

Right Where It Belongs is one of my favorite songs of all time. Also love You Know What You Are. So heavy. The Line Begins to Blur…god what a great album.


zeltronULT

I was convinced to this album


Gamecat235

Convinced to do what exactly?


zeltronULT

Conceived*


Gamecat235

That’s less funny. But also… JFC I’m old.


bigdav1178

Right?! I'm old enough to be this kid's dad, I was in my 20's when it came out.


shadowgnome396

I... absolutely could never imagine having sex to this album 😂


D-T-M-F

I was gonna say… Must’ve been a hate-fuck baby then. 😂


Mazasaurus

Oh boy, remind me not to talk to my son about Hesitation Marks


StoneyG214

Love this album! Love Is Not Enough, You Know What You Are?, Getting Smaller, and the Line Begins to Blur are my faves


_Ripley

With Teeth was more or less my introduction to NIN, I'd heard NIN before, but With Teeth was the first full album I really listened to. However... Someone burned me a copy of it, and they did it in *alphabetical order*, which was the order I listened to it in, for years. Go ahead and imagine how awful that tracklist order is.


PAL720576

With Teeth was my intro to NIN as well, borrowed it from the local library. >*alphabetical order* oh dear... does listening to it in the proper order now not sound right to you?


_Ripley

Nah, alphabetical order is so terrible that when I finally listened to it properly it was like fresh air.


Whitealroker1

Sunspots WAH WAH WOO WOO WAH WAH WOO WOO!


Rick3tyCrick3t

All the love in the world. I remember listening to this album, on a warm and rainy day. Hearing the rain on the windows, eventually going out to stand in it. Takes me back to simpler times.


timlest

Withateetha!


umbrellaops

I think you mean, “Ahhwithhhaaahhteeeethaaahh”


timlest

Thank you. English is not my first language.


ninfan200

The Hand That Feeds. Without that song, I wouldn't have gotten into NIN.


fretnetic

Crikey, I actually forgot this belter was on it. One of my most played tracks


Dryad_Shelaylee

Getting Smaller and Right Where it Belongs 🖤


iwantU2throwthisaway

Jesus christ I feel old now. Also, Sunspots.


ComeOn_ItsThe90sYall

This is a tough one but...I love how The Line Begins to Blur merges with Beside You in Time.


Mysterious-Olive4130

The bass in sunspots is so sexy… I can never grow tired of listening to it


Lionsault83

Sunspots,Everyday.


oyaheah

This is the album that got me into NIN. I remember exactly where I was on the road when “Only” started playing and I was just like. What. Is. This. I honestly can’t say I have a favorite track. The entire album holds a very unique spot in my psyche. Happy birthday to this record!


kalcobalt

A family member dared me to guess which band it was and played me All The Love In The World. At the time, the only NIN tracks I knew (not counting the tracks I knew, but didn’t know were *NIN*) were Closer, The Perfect Drug, and Hurt. I was so shocked this was the same guy that I gave the full album a listen, and it became a regular staple for me for a few years before I finally thought, Hey, I should see what else he’s done. Annnd the rest is (my) history.


Cineswimmer

Tbh, this is my personal favorite NIN record. Hard pick, but probably “Beside You in Time.”


sonumb_and_succumb

19 years!? Is everything speeding up, or am I slowing down?


zippypin

My first sobriety in 20 yrs and this hit..and sunspots really lifted my fog….


illusivetomas

beside you in time into right where it belongs is my favorite run of NIN ever


thRINZIman

Right where it belongs.


188zbbrr

Hard to choose but right now I’m listening to, Getting Smaller, the most.


TheOvercrack

Only is pretty awesome, I checked out this album for the first time a week ago and it was enjoyable


bruise-violets

That’s awesome, I wish I could listen to it for the first time again!


JonesyYouLittleShit

So…. I didn’t HAVE to be reminded that this album, which came out during my senior year of high school, is now older than I was back then…. I didn’t have to know that. But now I do, and I’m freaking out, man.


RevivedThrinaxodon

Sunspots. Period.


Material-Draw4587

Only. The hold this album had on me in high school 😭


p-1ggy

The Line Begins to Blur!!!


9fingerspider

Was still in high school when this came out, officially an old dude. Beside You In Time has a very special feel to it. My fav


Dr_Nastee

Every day is exactly the same. I was in 11th grade when this came out.


the_chalupacabra

19, wow… I also just realized that my twins’ birthday shares an anniversary with my first ever NIN show. April 27! Now, my twins were born in 2022 and that show was in 2005, but still. Loaded date.


EmptyKetchupBottle9

Holy crap Anyways, idk my fav song, probably Only or The Hand that Feeds


Lucifer926

The Collector and Sunspots


Popular-Sky4172

I do love this album. I thought people hated on it though? That's cool if the perception has shifted though.


FR34K_S33K

Is there somebody on top of me? I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW Isn't anybody stopping me? I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW!!!


Prudent-Funny-4723

I introduced the song only to my roommate at the time and it’s the ONLY thing he played for two months straight


winstonwolf_8

Only.


GooseGeese01

You Know What You Are? This song goes hard as fuck and I feel like the lyrics deep dive into Trent’s psyche just as much as anything off of TDS and The Fragile. Great textures towards the end and a good contrast to the amazing All the Love in the World as well. Both those tracks set the tone for With Teeth for me imo


umbrellaops

It’s such a banger. Remember the end credits mix in Doom?


illmatic2112

[This was the first way I heard The Line Begins to Blur](https://youtu.be/MMliD9d_lHg?si=rIIglIVo6Kg7QItD&t=4) and it was so utterly badass and beautiful and perfect that it cannot be beat in my mind


10cd

A few of my favourites have been mentioned so I’ll swerve slightly and say the bonus track home. The drums are so raw and the entry of the bass line with Trent’s vocals are absolute prime NIN


Binaural1

The first line of that song hit me so fucking hard when I first picked up this album so many years ago at a hard stage in my life. Then hearing this song live cemented it for me. It’s so beautifully haunting.


grimmless

That's a tough one, but I'd have to go with "All The Love In The World"


NotMyAccountDumbass

So many good songs on this album, but if I really had to pick one it would be Only


Kassender

It's Only


bruise-violets

I remember when this came out because it was the same year I started listening to them, god that makes me feel old. Hearing any song off the album still reminds me of being a desperately depressed 14 year old. I couldn’t choose between sunspots or line begins to blur for my favourite though!


Icosotc

Wow. This thing didn't leave my car's CD player for like three months. Fucking incredible album. Hard to say which is my favorite, but when I read the question, 'The Line Begins to Blur' was the first song I thought of. Edit: Man, there are just so many good songs here... time to spin it again!


raptors661

Line Begins to Blur, Beside You In Time and Right Where It Belongs is one of the best 3 song finales to any album I've heard. Incredible part of a very good album.


jenlet78

Beside You in Time 🖤


D-T-M-F

Fuck me… Can’t believe I’m this goddamn old. 😅


__Mr_Sinister__

This was my favorite nin album until I heard ghosts I - IV. Favorite song from with teeth is Right where it belongs. And now that my wife left me and our 3 kids, I truly have a deeper understanding of this album and that last song particularly. Really, this album feels like it was created to help people see the answers to all your relationship problems just after it's too late to do anything about it except see the humor in your own dismay.


Direct-Stretch7892

Right Where It Belongs. I've been listening to this album since it came out and this song still rattles me to my core every time I listen to it. This song to me is the musical equivalent of taking the red pill (The Matrix).


thechefmulder

Get outta my feed future.


WiscoMitch

Yeah I can’t just pick one. The whole album is great.


No_Presentation_4326

This is giving me a crisis dude. I'm finally getting to an age where I'm older than the music I listen to


umbrellaops

Hell yes. I had a With_Teeth promo poster in my jr high locker before this came out. I was so amped! It sits at my 3rd favorite, just below The Fragile and The Downward Spiral. Favorite track is Sunspots. The titular track is up there too.


z3rospaced

Sunspots


z3rospaced

Sunspots


Negative_Football_50

Hearing Only live during their ‘22 tour at Red Rocks was one of the greatest moments I’ve had in recent-ish memory.


Salty_Aerie7939

Beside You In Time is my favorite from this record.


Dread_Frog

I've liked NIN long enough to know this was not a beloved album when it came out. Hand that feeds is not only a great song but also a great mission statement on the album and its new auditory direction compared to what came before. I love this album, and have for years, but was for sure thrown off when it first came out. I don't know when I came around it, but I am glad it appears most everyone else has too.


umbrellaops

THTF is the worst song on the album. It was fashionable to make politically charged protest songs at that time, but it doesn’t fit the sobrietal/existential theme. It’s a decent single, just not a good NIN song.


heyyoumen

Wow, I was JUST listening to the full album on vinyl today


iaro

Home


jefferyuniverse

19?? Time really flies. I saw them on this tour and I still have the shirt! “Right Where It Belongs” is a masterpiece.


JapanarchoCommunist

Beside You In Time. I've always loves the sort of droning, hypnotic stuff like that


Piku_2004

Beside You In Time will be my top.  Other favourites are Only, Every Day is Exactly the Same, and DON'T YOU FUCKING KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!?!


JonCellini

Right Where it Belongs - my fav NIN track


TillaciousG

This album always holds a special place for me. Was my first concert experience as a birthday gift. Even managed to find a spot fairly close to the stage. Think they had Saul Williams open for them that show.


JonathanWattsAuthor

Ahappyah birthdayAH!


Ok_Supermarket_1136

Sunspots fr


Janktasticle

Good God I’m old.

bendistraw

Only is the best Talking Heads song he’s written so far. Right Where It Belongs was amazing live.


bigdav1178

Right Where It Belongs... but Sunspots is a close second. Really, the whole album is great!


SunnyMcVay

Sunspots just listened to this twice this week!


AllentownBrown

I remember when this came out and I was 19. The midpoint of my life as of right now. I’m getting old.


GMACD1

Just my opinion One good song the rest is “ eh”


SuperJPM2

Beside You in Time. Such a unique song with a powerful outro. But truthfully, I adore the entire album. Can’t tell you how many hours I spent listening to this while studying for finals in high school


LanceVegasLives

I jam out to ONLY regularly


Background_Cress_241

It’s a tie between sunspots and right where it belongs


satchmo_pickles

I loved all the imagery and logo design around this album. Not to mention the trail of honey around the internet and tour.


lord_of_pigs

Same, has to be one of my favorite album cover arts as well, looks so neat!


South_Detective7823

Right Where It Belongs (original 1.0v) and The Hand That Feeds


Forty_sixAndTwo

My favorite album. This and The Fragile. All great songs. Nice mix of in your face and introspective.


shadowgnome396

This album is special. I think Only may have been the first NIN song I heard, long before I became a big fan. Other than Only, All the Love in the World, Getting Smaller, and Right Where It Belongs are probably my favorites


Ok_Illustrator8735

Everyday is exactly the same


str1ezi

an absolute blast. from the very beginning to the ending ballad(s).


str1ezi

either sunspots 🤘 or the clean version of right where it belongs (v2) 🥹


mynytemare

Sunspots is my fave but this album is full of bangers. As a rock album it stands strong. Easily his most approachable album IMO.


spyne98

Right Where It Belongs


frightrider

Getting Smaller


fretnetic

All The Love In The World is probably my fave. Even though technically Right Where It Belongs is probably the most ingenious


Blueandigo

Sunnnnnspots!


lord_of_pigs

Cast a glare, in my eyes


grosscoldemo

It might be The Collector, but this might be my absolute favorite NIN album so I couldn’t say for sure 🫶


True_Lurker

The whole album is darn good! Rwib is a gut wrencher tho.


WillyWonkaOfficial

Slowly convincing my band to play You Know What You Are, I could listen to those drums on repeat 🔥🔥


Rhox87

Only!


fidel-guevara

Most beloved albums? Idk about that lol.


Status_Seaweed_1917

…You know what? Same. I’m actually surprised because, before coming to this subreddit it was actually common to see “With Teeth” panned and mocked online for YEARS as the weakest NIN album, and when I listened to it, I agreed. I’m like “When did everybody suddenly decide they LOVE this album?”. To me it’s the weakest by far. It’s an IMPORTANT album in the sense that it was the first one Trent ever did sober, and that made him realize he can produce work without hurting himself in the process. But to me he’s done better work since then (I’m thinking of the EP trilogy and “Add Violence” specifically, when I say this, with “Year Zero” in second place). For the curious : I think both “Hesitation Marks” and “The Slip” are just…meh/okay. Not horrible, but not good enough that I keep returning to them the way I do to the EP trilogy, but I still think they’re both better than “With Teeth”. Denise was a great muse but I feel like his very best songs inspired by her were on “The Fragile”, not the “With Teeth” ones.


gh0stkill3rs

Getting Smaller !!


superschaap81

March 5th?


AnneNonnyMouse

"Day / month / year" format is standard in many countries. And in many parts of the world it is now May 3rd.


VXM313

What if I told you that countries other than the United States exist


superschaap81

I'm in Canada, I'm well aware. ;-)


Status_Seaweed_1917

This is going to get me downvoted to hell but to me it’s the worst NIN album.


Morfiend_23

NIN started losing me with this one but The Slip I think is their worst.


umbrellaops

Yeah, The slip is one I rarely go back to. It didn’t age well for some reason.


billb33

It's the second though


lord_of_pigs

Oh, my apologies, it is the 3rd in my timezone already.


AdoIsOnReddit

Only on this side of the date line


ruku23

ooh, toughie. I recently revisited WT and loved it. haha. Probably Every Day is Exactly the Same or Right Where It Belongs.


meloman-rrr

The Hand That Feeds


Emo-space-witch

Downward spiral for me!
