Actually, kind of vice versa. The cover was meh, while songs like Reload, Filthpig, Lava and Brick Windows continue to be awesome, and even some of the lesser known songs like Game Show still hold up.

''Adrenaline Rush'', ''Abbatoir''… or if you want a good laugh ''Croatia''.

NIN tends to drown out the entire industrial conversation, so it's nice to have one without them. I'm kinda sad industrial never became a big pop sensation in the 90s. It had every chance to do so. Instead it became permanently associated with NIN, Marilyn Manson and Rammstein that never developed much variety in

First six songs good… the rest is some of their weakest fare.

D'Oh! You're right. I was thinking of ''Dead Stars'', but I wrote Cathy's song for some reason. Apoptygma Berzerk, another great band. We were talking about entry points to industrial, and I'm perfectly fine with including bands such as Wolfsheim, Cruxshadows and the like into the outskirts of industrial. From there,

While the intro list is A-OK it kind of gives off the impression that industrial ended in the early 90s. Plenty of great bands game out in the 90s, in my mind the golden age of industrial.

I forgive you, for you know not what you're doing. On the off chance, you might want to reread everything I wrote with a bit more of a cooler head and open mind.

''Jesus christ, take some responsibility for your own emotions.''

Such a shame. Peals before swine, I say.

Yes, I agree, not everyone is a woman. (Oh, snap!) :-)

Oh, nothing. Just handing the keys to the treasurehouse to a much younger generation of men… enjoy the show. :-)

''Seriously, straight guys and straight girls are so awful you all DESERVE each other!''
Wow, what a tolerant, not to mention enlightening, statement. It looks like there's some sh*t on your rainbow.

I tried telling a woman the very same three things about her choice in males. I was called a misogynist. Oddly enough, it seems only men are responsible for their poor romantic choices.

There is a simple solution: Don't date. Seriously, just stop. Do rock stars ''date''? How about millionaires? Do you see them expending time and energy hoping to impress some girl? Men ''date'' only because they think it's the only way they'll ever be with a girl, ANY girl, so they put up with this sh*t. Instead of

1 in 2? Wasn't it 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 the last time I checked? Or maybe 1 in 5 or 1 in 8? Or was it only college women? Which warzone are we talking about here exactly? How the hell does this preposterous, unscientific and widely debunked statistic still perpetuate in the American cultrural landscape?

Here's some very counterintuitive advice. Don't be friends with girls. At all. This might help someone who is so shy he had zilch socialization, but you've already learned everything you can from being the ''listening ear''. Now you're just wasting your time. Start treating women as sex objects. You are a threat. You

Oh, ain't you the rebel.

''Girlfriend override'' is overrided on long-distance driving, like more than 4 hours, unless the driving duties are shared.

Insipid 80s American sitcoms with canned laugh tracks and stale jokes that maybe eke out a chucke once in 10 episodes are my version of a personal hell. Being trapped in such a sitcom would be a nightmare. And don't even get me started on ''very special episodes'' with ''a moral leson for all of us''.

So, don't dodge the question here, what aspect of being female is worse than being beaten up and no one doing two sh*ts about it, certainly worse enough for you to be all smug and sarcastic about what I was saying? Catcalling? Worrying about your physical appearance? Lack of female characters in Pixar movies?
