I have to chime in here. I used to be a pretty big NIN fan 10 years ago,
but listening to most of his stuff now, "timeless" is not the word that
comes to mind. Pretty Hate Machine was retro sounding by the time
Downward Spiral came out. Downward Spiral's music is great, but the
lyrics and angstful singing is retro now (at least in electronic music.
The term "timeless" in reference to art has always meant, to me, that time
doesn't age a particular work of art because it wasn't trendy or easy to
replicate to begin with. Trent made some great music, but he used it as a
tool to make his terrible tone deaf singing and utterly shitty lyrics seem
legitimate and deep. That's just my opinion of course, and I still do
break out the old NIN cd when I'm in the mood for a little retro trip back
to my late teens/early 20s. I suppose some of the stuff on his remix
E.P.s could be considered timeless in the way you guys are using the term.
