    Closer isn't about BDSM. It's the point in the album where the character is completely overtaken by the monstrosity of his actions. Reznor has confirmed this himself.

      I 100% believe that it would make an amazing bit of Cinema properly scripted in a format likened to Pink Floyd's The Wall. People would finally Understand what literally any of the songs are about with out Hundreds of Listens and Countless Hours pouring over the lyrics and reading Dissertations on the topic.

      Its at the point where his self worth is at rock bottom and his self hatred is at it's peak. He has sex as one of the last ways to feel something (similar to Hurt), with a partner he doesn't respect. She's controlling him using sex.
      "It's supernegative and superhateful," he explains. "It's 'I am a piece of shit and I am declaring that and if you think you want me, here I am.'"

      I think this song is VERY spiritual. It‘s the struggle of the earthly primitive Anima vs the higher self and the synthesis of both. This was my first thought.

    The concept of this album is basically an interpretation of the human mind going through insanity and leading eventually to suicide. This is one of the best albums of the 90s. Favorite Nine Inch Nails album next to The Fragile. My favorite tracks are Closer,Hurt,March Of The Pigs,Piggy,Big Man With A Gun,Reptile,and Eraser

    I remember buying the Downward Spiral in July 1994 and listening to it on my headphones at night from start to finish. It was a musical journey like no other. I had listened to Closer many times on the radio earlier that year when it first came out. It was an unorthodox and unapologetic sonic trip which transported me to another world. A world of darkness, despair and acceptance that echoed my own life at the time. I entered into adulthood by this album. I also entered a new state of consciousness. As I look back, now in my 40's, there was my life before TDS and life after. It is the single most significant piece of music I have ever experienced. I am thankful to Trent for making my life after so much more interesting.

    Dude you got this all wrong the downward spiral has nothing to do with violence at all its about escapism from depression as it follows a tail of a man going on a DOWNWARD SPIRAL to suicide and the pigs are representations of the thoughts that plague his mind. None of this album is related to the Manson murders as he stated in many interviews and fyi the broken EP came before TDS

    • @lawsonashurst7314
      @lawsonashurst7314 6 лет назад +11

      Music is subjective. I see it as a man's descent into the depths of the human condition, using this it tells the tale of a broken man warped by greed, society, and lust for sexual pleasure, eventually culminating with his suicide on "The Downward Spiral" track. Hurt then serving as a heart wrenching post-mortem/suicide note or such. However I can see both your interpretation as valid and Pitchfork's

    2002 , My moms friend had this CD hidden in the car. I remember how serious of a light they painted it in . After that it was set, there was no way we weren’t hearing it .
    I remember waiting weeks for the perfect time to be left alone in the car long enough to fish it out and figure out what all the fuss was about.
    One of those visceral moments that warmly stays with me . We were directly parked in front of a job they were doing . Through glass we were watching them eviscerating gigantic trees with big commercial saws and trimmers .
    to hear that album on the Volvo s90 Harman k speakers while watching that through glass in the broad stark daylight stuck with me.

    Neither Piggy nor March of the Pigs were about the Tate murders. He admitted that calling his studio 'Le Pig' WAS a tasteless joke and apologized but those songs are clearly about something else.

    • @thebiggusdonnus8453
      @thebiggusdonnus8453 3 года назад +4

      I've always interpreted Piggy as being about his abuser, or somebody who was consenting/able to be affected by his abuse.
      March Of The Pigs kind of follows this, by the protagonist realizing that others in society are (in his view) sexually dominated and restricted by morals and humanity. This sets up the stage for the Eraser to infect him and kill what little humanity remained in him.

    At the time it came out, I just listened to it and enjoyed it. Long time passed, it was only within the last 10 ish years or so that I started really listening to it and getting the meaning of it, and that's only due to some tragic / terrible things that happened in my life. The album I believe flies by people as just 'music' and they don't think about it. To me, it really tied together and now I can see how each album has it's own theme and purpose. Last thing: this video is a bit trash, as the research is all off. Listen to Reznor talk about the album, he lays it out for you.

    You COMPLETELY misunderstand the album.
    It's a concept album, based on a guy who'se given up on the world. He has given up on society--authority, religion, and everything else that controls an individual. His girlfriend cheats on him (Reptile) and then he kills himself. Hurt isn't about addiction or anything else--it's the regret of a dying man who has put a bullet in himself (in the track before Hurt), and he's singing away his last moments.

      None of their albums are old enough to be considered "cool" by the hipster elite at Pitchfork. Give it another 10 years.

      Adrenaline came out the year after this and Manson's Portrait and they've covered both of those.

    I am not sure if this has been pointed out before, but wasn't Broken his 2nd album?

    • @pimpapotimus
      @pimpapotimus 7 лет назад +5

      I should google before commenting. Broken is considered an EP even though it is entirely new music. I always thought of it as the 2nd album, but it technically isn't.

    1:32 that was the live video, not the music video. The music video was cancelled, it's kinda boring you can look up the footage and see why. He never said it was the music video so I'm not correcting him, just pointing that out

      Prizrak2084: I am so sorry to say this but I honestly believe he looks best when he was depressed and did H. He obviously wasn‘t fine and he wasn‘t healthy but he seems the most creative to me in this time period. He looks hot af in the „Closer“ music video. It really makes my pantie melt. Also in „The perfect drug“. I don‘t like tanned gym Reznor. He looks more masculine now. But I prefer vulnerable and artsy.

    Johnny cash’s version is inferior.. no disrespect intended, but Trent is wrong in saying it’s cash’s song.

    • @fridgeheaven

      I dont think he was actually giving to him cause he also said "it's like someone kissing your girlfriend" i think he meant that cash made it his song

      I don't think you can compare the two, they're almost different songs.

    • @Rotten13mgOxy
      @Rotten13mgOxy 6 лет назад

      I agree and when Trent would play it live on just a piano a few tours back it sounded better and way more emotional and sad. I actually prefer that better than the original acoustic guitar version.

    • @TheDealer1228
      @TheDealer1228 6 лет назад +1

      Agreed. I can't stand Johnny Cash's version. Part of what makes "Hurt" great is how it wraps up the album musically and thematically. When you remove the context, it loses its potency.

    So... when was Broken released? Oh... And Piggy was a song about old guitarist Richard Patrick, which was his nickname and he/Filter wrote Captain Bligh about Trent Reznor in response. - ruclips.net/video/F_Q5yxG8QcE/видео.html

    check out my book - Into The Never: Nine Inch Nails & The Creation Of The Downward Spiral
    adamsteiner.uk/nine-inch-nails-into-the-never/
    Ushering in a new era of confessional music that spoke openly about experiences of trauma, depression, and self-loathing, Nine Inch Nails The Downward Spiral, is a seminal album that changed popular music forever - bringing transgressive themes of heresy, S&M, and body horror to the masses and taking music technology to its limits. Released in 1994, the album resonated across a generation, combining elements of metal, industrial, synth-pop, and ambient electronica, and going on to sell over four million copies.

    "Piggy" isn't about Sharon Tate. It's about Richard Patrick. He used to be part of NIN, but left to form Filter.

    People still take "Big Man With a Gun" at face value. I was 14 when I got this album and on my first listen I knew it wasn't meant to be taken as a first person type of song. Virtue signalers gonna signal though right?
