I guess I should have said "other big name artists".

how about prodigy?

I was not aware, sir.

Chemical Brothers did the same by releasing Push the Button out, resulting in the Flip the Switch and Believe EP remix albums, which are available here:

They're all good mixes so far but I haven't heard anything that tops the original songs. Year Zero is by far my favorite NIN album so it would take one hell of a remix to make me forget the original.

Year Zero by far your fave? you my friend, are a crackhead.

I'm prefer The Downward Spiral over all the others, myself. Which isn't to say NIN's ever put out an album I don't like.

1. Year Zero
2. The Fragile
3. The Downward Spiral

^teh win

i "celebrate" the entire nin collection regularly. however i have to say that the fragile is truely a masterpiece. at least in my opinion. it showed a softer and more intelligent side of nine inch nails; but i think it should have been left at that. with teeth seemed to try to be a continuation of the fragile but failed horribly. year zero did a decent job of going back towards what made nin good to begin with but ended up being what with teeth should have been in the first place.

i've never really been able to place one artist's album above another. instead i tend to look at things on an individual song basis. both with teeth and year zero have some incredible songs that stand out on their own. in the same sense, pretty hate machine and downward spiral have some rather poor songs. part of the appeal that i think is in the first two albums comes from the fact that trent was still very raw back then and not as concerned or conscious about what he was producing as he is now.

in the long run though i think trent deserves a lot more credit than he recieves because it seems as if he's not afraid to try new things. if he made a bunch more albums like pretty hate machine and downward spiral then it would just make the said albums that less more special. the nine inch nails sound would've become tired and boring long ago and we would most likely never look twice at these remixes. if an artist never evolves then it becomes hard to appreciate what made them good in the very beginning--or even now.
