The fact that they played Oracle OpenWorld in 2012. Not just a corporate gig, which is bad enough for a band that supposedly has integrity, but a corporate gig for Oracle and Larry Ellison.

I was never upset they played it (was it Reznor that said for the right money NIN would play anything?). I was annoyed that at the time they tried to pretend it didnt happen.

not gonna lie, whether it's fair or not, my interest and perception of PJ absolutely changed when Boom joined the band. there is certainly a dividing line there for me. and i can't get over it.

You're not alone. Sound's just not the same. All their songs just bleed together now. There's no variety in their albums anymore because all you hear are keys.

I'd argue that it's not necessarily Boom's direct contributions that have changed their sound, but rather that the inclusion of his instrument was symptomatic of the band's shift towards a more monochromatic song style. Where before there would be multiple layers of guitars and others odd sounds, suddenly it was "two guitar parts, and let's just have Boom fill in any open space."

I'm in this camp too, and I can't help it. Boom marks their downfall.
