I got into NIN late in the game.  I knew them in an outsider sense from Downward Spiral era on (my brother, now an upwardly mobile yuppie, had the record, but the first show I saw was Coachella 2005.  I remember thinking how the band around him seemed like some kind of evil gothic beings, and how....theatrical, for lack of a better word, it felt.  I was used to no-frills, "we are the audience" punk shows.  So seeing that show made me want to finally pop in the Downward Spiral DE I had been given for Christmas.


From the opening "uh.....UNGH!!!! *whip crack* AAAHHH!!", I was hooked.
