The shortest 'album' I've ever seen is Group Sex, by a punk band called Circle Jerks. It's all of 15 minutes long. By that standard, Bad Witch is definitely an album - but I don't accept it as one, because it was sold as an EP.
Add Violence > Bad Witch > Not The Actual Events, with all of them being about mid-range.

The Slip was the first full-length album that I looked at, no doubt because it was free. I'd probably say that it's a good introduction to NIN, because it covers most of the areas that they've reached beforehand.

The EPS are an improvement from that one but don’t get me as excited as a full-length or a badass Reznor/Ross soundtrack like The Social Network or Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Should really relisten to the soundtracks. I looked at HM for the first time in a while last week and, while it's not as bad as I'd initially thought, it's still unlikely to be one I'll choose to listen to.

Thanks to a compilation album that my dad had, that was the first NIN song I heard. It's brilliant.

I'm assuming that you've heard his 'remixes' on Further Down the Spiral?
