I did not listen to your album because frankly I don't care whether you get huge from this or not. From what I can pick up from the comments your music is pretty shitty....but I digress. What irks me is you, this self proclaimed indie guy, are trying to ride the coattails of hating on big rock stars to make it big yourself. You bitch that TR has millions of dollars and has things and people only one could dream of. But isn't that, ultimately, what you're trying to attain? My suggestion to you, my friend, is to watch the man and take some damn notes. TR went from recording 'Pretty Hate Machine' after working as a janitor in a recording studio to living the American dream. But, if you're going to sit there and tell me that making shitty music and bashing important people is your American dream then keep it up. Great Job!

i just don't buy into all his dark bullshit…seems insincere to me…like he just wants to show the world his “dark, edgy” side. plus he does whine too much.

it's cool for those who like him, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but after working in music stores selling his shit to dumb kids who think he's a god and buy anything with a NIN logo on it, i just find him and his music incredibly annoying.

Wow what a concept. Second everyone who is in the music industry complains about the record labels. They rape them on there music. That is what is so great about computer technology and recording, it's made it affordable for anybody to record professional sounding music. It's not just about the money though and that is why you are missing the point. Most people who are into the indie scene do it for the love of music and to fight against The Man.( record labels). The free music movement is about the music. Not your self righteous attempt to make your self look like a martyr for the indie music movement.
