Nine Inch Nails is an Alternative/Industrial rock band founded by Trent Reznor in the year '88. Their most well known track is probably "Closer" aka. the "I wanna fuck you like an animal" song from the album "The Downward Spiral" (released in '94).
Currently, the band is on a hiatus, probably enjoying their private lives. They announced several months ago, that they will not tour anymore for a long time (which means, this year was probably the last chance to see them live).
-----------
Sooo, who's a fan of that glorious band or hates their guts?
Personally, I love NIN's lyrics (well, most of them) and that an album never seems to sound like the previous one (but you can still hear that it's NIN). It is also kinda fascinating that Trent seems to have a lot creativity left after all those years and always tries to amaze the fans with new things (like the "Ghosts I-IV" album or the ridiculous cool "Lights in the Sky" tour).
------------
So, go ahead and tell your fellow NIN-fans your opinion!

oh and @Metaler: The Quake BGM is quite cool! If you liked that one, you may like some songs by NIN aswell.

Seems like most of you like "The Downward Spiral" a lot, niceee. But there are more albums than only that one, just that you know :P
My favorite album is "The Fragile" (released '99) because the first time I listened through the whole album, I fell in love with it.
It is a bit different than TDS, merely the songs seem sometimes a bit "happier" and less "violent". Still, songs like "Somewhat Damaged", "The Big Comedown" and "The Wretched" are quite aggressive and are a perfect choice to be played when on tour.
There are a few quiet songs on it aswell, e.g. "The Fragile" or "The Great Below" which are quite heart-warming and wonderful.
I can listen to the album the whole day and I'll never get tired of it.
oh, if anyone of you is interested in recommendations (e.g. which album is great for beginners?) I ,of course, will be glad to help you :]

I really like their instrumentals. (They make good background music while writing, for me. :c)

I think you should check out the albums "Pretty Hate Machine" and "The Downward Spiral" then.
Kinda I want To is on PHM, I'm quite sure you will like the other songs on there as well (they sound pretty 80's-like though, a lot of synths and whatnot). Closer is on TDS and there are a lot of songs on there which are as controversial and ingenious as Closer (e.g. Reptile or Big Man With A Gun)
And if you end up (not) liking the stuff, you could give "With Teeth" a try. It sounds a bit "poppier" than the other albums but it's quite good stuff for people who wanna get into the band's music. Most of the songs have quite catchy beats...
Hope that was a bit helpful :3
"Ghosts I-IV" is a whole album full of instrumentals. You should check it out if you haven't heard about it yet :]
Never saw that one. I asked a few people if the movie is really that disturbing and sick, they said yes and so I decided that I would rather not watch that one =P Although, is it really that much more disturbing than the video to "Happiness in Slavery"? :/

Though Trent did say to steal steal and steal some more at one point haha. I have respect for Trent, he has helluva a lot of talent, multi instruments, influence beyond NIN and dared bitch about his label overcharging.

I've heard of it, but haven't heard more than one song. I'll check it out sometime.

I think Trent is better live than studio.

You should listen to their work, see how great they can be.
I'd recommend Broken, The Downaward Spiral, or The Fragile as an introduction to their music.
Or maybe The Slip 'cuz it's free.
