Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

Song #9…never have I listened to an album that I otherwise love but hate a single point in it so much…

I thought, “wait, no way this person means the song I think they mean…” but you do? Big Man With A Gun? I can’t understand liking NIN, and this album in particular, liking Mr Self Destruct, and March of the Pigs, but not that song

I don’t think I’m the only one that holds this opinion, but far from universal. I personally think it’s the worst musically, and I find it grating to my ears. However, I also think that album is one of the pinnacles of modern music.

It's pretty essential to the flow of the album

I won’t argue with how others feel regarding flow, but it’s pretty essential for me to remove it
