: Interesting. I wasn't (and still am not) a huge fan of "Mer de
: Noms" (but I do like it). However, "13th Step" made me like
: the first album a lot more than I initially did.
Huh, I was an "almost" instant fan of Mer De Noms and the 13th Step still hasn't reached the same level for me but hey, to each their own. I really liked Emotive but that took me a little while to grow on me as well. In regards to NIN "The Slip" has a couple of tracks that have quickly become favorites for me. "Echoplex" and "Head Down" most notably for the choruses alone are now among my all time NIN favs...
