Jackie Blue:
I thought Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals were both very solid albums.
I seem to remember even liking Holy Wood the one or two times I listened to it.
Haven't heard anything he's done since then, but I've heard it goes way downhill from there.
De_El:
I've a fancy for NIN and MM both. NIN I like...most of, not a completist fanboy who has all the "Halos" but that said I'm only missing a few. Marilyn Manson I like pretty much all of until Holy Wood, and then I like certain songs off that and the next album. The latest, Eat Me, Drink Me is laughable even by his standards.
KvP:
Yeah, I almost sort of liked Mechanical Animals. Antichrist Superstar I felt was a bit too sludgy for my tastes (much in the same way The Downward Spiral was) The consensus seems to be that after the failure of Holy Wood he kept trying to remake MA over and over again, a couple of times with that guy from KMFDM. The last one even tried at the new wave craze, which seemed to alienate even more people.
Anyway, I'm annoyed at him presently because he eliminated any chance of a Goon Moon tour by recruiting Twiggy back and he continues to prevent Chris Vrenna from making Tweaker records (they weren't bad, they weren't exactly good, but they had a spacey-ness to them I liked)
And besides, unless it's the 70s and you're David Bowie / Iggy Pop, you should not shave your eyebrows.

Most of the NIN singles and remix albums sucked. The exceptions being the Peter Christopherson / Danny Hyde work on the Broken and TDS remix albums. And the Aphex Twin stuff, of course.
De_El:
NIN remix albums I have and actually enjoy: Fixed, Closer to God, Every Day Is Exactly the Same, Further Down the Spiral. And I have a UK import of the Head Like a Hole Single because some of the versions, (Opal) in particular, are more interesting than the album edit. Oh, and The Perfect Drug Versions.
But pretty much all of them are hit and miss.
Also, you like NIN but not TDS? wtf.
Alex C:
I can admit to liking NIN; he has some fun beats and the production is consistently buffed to a glossy shine that suits things perfectly. Plus, I'm inherently incapable of taking music at face value so the lyrics don't bother me much since I always figured he was being about as sincere as Peter Steele.
