| did someone ust compare trent to linkin park? WTF world have you been living in? trent is an amazing, talented virtuoso. Linkin Park is a fad, no one will know who the hell they are in a few years. Comparing them in any way to trent is like comparing shit to champagne... | |

| OK, so, here's my progression. First, I was watching trailers for "300" on several sites. Then I realized that not only did I recognize this song, but I had the CDs. So I started listening to it again, and when I got to "Pilgrimage", I remembered that someone had once told me that it was an official march of the 3rd Reich, but I wanted confirmation. I've been to this site a lot, so I decided to look it up. When I realized that I wasn't going to get much, I looked up the song that set me on this little quest. And what should I find, but lord decay and avesjohn blowing my mind. decay, your insight is disturbing in a way that I can only describe as addictive, and by that, I mean I took your advice and put the wretched thing on repeat until I was typing in time with the thing. I think I may break my keyboard if I keep this up much longer. In fact...there. Turned it off. Whew. Crap, I can still here it in my head. THANKS A LOT. avesjohn, I often do something akin to what you described, although I am usually using songs as inspiration for characters, not entire stories. Props on that, and if you start releasing drafts of it for pre-reading, please let me know, because I'd love to read it. Now, for my contribution to the spirit and title of this site, I have always found NIN's instrumentals as musical renderings of madness in one form or another. I like the idea that this song is a representaion of the five stages of grief (or dieing, depending on whether or not you're talking to a terminal disease patient), and if I weren't going to come up with my own meaning for it, this would be my favorite, but that's because I enjoy the irony or feeling of rightness about it. I like Holst's Planet's for the same reason. My take on this, however, is tainted, slightly, by the fact that I DID hear it from that trailer. The battle of Thermopolea is one of the most legendary stories of desperation, glory, and snarling grin inducing bloodlust. I'd like to think that this song, taking a hint from the title, is a soldier taking his first steps into battle, thinking over and over again about the words his armsmaster, instructor, mentor, whatever told him about the horror of war: "It's just like you imagine...only worse." Since I've read several stories about troops suffering psychotic episodes in the heat of battle, I just keep seeing the image of a crazed man with a sword, hacking through enemies repeating the words over and over again, "Just like you imagined, just like you imagined, just like you imagined," with a disturbingly calm look on his face, concealing the brokenness in his mind. At 3:14, he's on his knees, surrounded by pieces of his enemies, still hacking at the air, but losing strength, and now repeating over and over, "Nothing like I imagined, nothing like I imagined, nothing like I imagined...." But that's just what I imagine when I hear this. And who knows? It might be "Just Like [I] Imagine." | |

| feels kind of like a violent conflict, start's out as if being pushed around or taunted, at 1:22 one tries to reason his way out, but around 2:10 it's like someone crossed the line. you scream from within and at 2:25 you erupt, in a blind rage you crush everything in reach, as the song progresses you become more and more violent untill you've done something that will haunt you for the rest of your life. only at 3:14 do you gain full realization of what you did, but by then it's too late. | |

| My favorite instrumental ever and I'm not even a big NIN fan. I picked this allbum up when it came out because I was curious. It's a tight album and imo this is the best song. | |

| Exactly, VandalHeart. EXACTLY. The whole thing is bitter irony: the fact of the matter is, things are NOTHING like [insert character name here] imagined. Hence the anger and the depression and whatnot. It doesn't matter how prepared you (think you) are for whatever event is occuring (grandmother's death, learning the truth about one's past, losing virginity, etc.); all your expectations are shattered in an instant, and when that happens, there's virtually no coming back. Thus the downward spiral begins. | |
