I am sure I will be the odd reply here but I fuckin hate his version of the song, just absolutely despise it. It sounds awful, he sounds like he's faking it, it was bad and trent reznor should have gotten a job doing mixing or some shit in the late 90s to prevent the rest of his career from happening
to be clear, the NIN early albums are fucking amazing
Even Trent Reznor has said Cash’s cover is the definitive version of the song.
Not saying you’re wrong in your opinion, it’s a matter of taste.
Yeah I think reznor was off his rocker by the time it happened
Gonna disagree on the late NIN. I bounced off the band after that piece of shit With Teeth dropped in 2005. I came back like ten years later and they remain one of my favorite bands (with the exception of With Teeth). The most recent stuff (Not the Actual Events, Add Violence, Bad Witch) are some of my favorites.
I’m gonna go like 90% into your corner however I don’t think the Cash version sounds awful. Like you, TDS means so much to me
Yeah I listened to everything up to TDS thousands of times, and followed his later career with increasing disinterest
fair, that's the era I like the most too however for whatever reason i find myself throwing on ghosts when i'm chillin or on a long drive
I don’t hate it as much, but I think the praise cash’s version gets is very much coloured by the context he sang it in. It sounds rough and without the story of his emotions it would be criticized a lot harder I feel
