Line 144:
** Quite frankly, Trent has many songs that seem like this unless you're following the continuity of [[Concept Album|the album they're in]]. "Meet Your Master" is a good example of this. Alternatively, you might not realize that songs like "Happiness in Slavery" or "Head Like a Hole" are actually about record labels unless you actually know about Trent's history with them. There's also "Sin," which sounds like a song about D/s, which really isn't helped by the ridiculously fetishistic [[Music Video]]...which is a lot like [[And I Must Scream|most]] [[Bound and Gagged|of]] [[Whip It Good|their videos]]. So really, it's more like Obligatory Bondage Music Video...
* [[Obsession Song]]: A few songs have themes of this, in particular "Closer to God," a remix of "Closer," and "Kinda I Want to."
* [[Piss
** Also, "Where Is Everybody" and possibly "Capital G" might count.
* [[Pop Star Composer]]
Line 158:
* [[Sampling]]: Not only from the obligatory old horror and sci-fi movies, but also occasionally from other artists. ''Pretty Hate Machine'''s liner notes thanked [[Prince (Music)|Prince]], [[Public Enemy (Music)|Public Enemy]] and [[Janes Addiction (Music)|Janes Addiction]] among others because Trent sampled them. "Big Man with a Gun" from ''The Downward Spiral'' begins with a sample of what is apparently a porn star having an orgasm, heavily processed so as to be unrecognizable. The album booklet gives the sample the [[Non-Indicative Name]] of "Steakhouse".
** An expansive list can be found [http://www.ninwiki.com/Samples_In_NIN_Songs here]. The most unusual samples on the list include Saddam Hussein's trial verdict and a ''[[YouTube]] video of [[Bio Shock]] cosplay.''
* [[Self
* [[Sanity Slippage Song]]: ''The Downward Spiral'' is 14 tracks of this.
* [[Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion]]: "All the Love in the World."
Line 169:
* [[Testosterone Poisoning]]: "Big Man With a Gun".
* [[Textless Album Cover]]: ''The Fragile'' (only a portion of the NIN logo is visible), ''Year Zero'', and ''The Slip''.
* [[The Plan]]: The entire game leading up to the release (and beyond) of ''Year Zero''. [
* [[Title-Only Chorus]]: "With Teeth," "Terrible Lie," "Starfuckers, Inc.," "That's What I Get."
* [[Title Track]]: ''The Downward Spiral'' and ''With Teeth'' are straight examples. ''Ghosts I-IV'' takes this trope to its [[Logical Extreme]]: ''every single song on that album'' (yes, all [[Ending Fatigue|36]] of them) are titled with their track number, the word "Ghost" and either I, II, III, or IV.
