First, let me say I know NIN really well. I don't know Slipknot that well. What songs I've heard from Slipknot from a lyric point of view reminded me of some NIN songs.
I didn't say they were the same. Also a lot of Slipknot stuff is rather familiar to me regardless. I've been listening to that kind of music for a very long time.
NIN is basically Trent Reznor. He's the first to admit that the music is generally pop but a lot of people think it's industrial, it's not, it's stylised industrial. You want industrial listen to Ministry or Front 242.
However, try listening to The Downward Spiral, Pretty Hate Machine and The Fragile albums. I don't expect you to like everything but it will give you a better idea. NIN is very moody and the songs tend to evoke emotion.
For some fun look up the song Suck.
The more recent NIN has got quite political, well it always had elements of that regardles.
I know a lot of different types of music and enjoy pretty much anything. I've listened to classical to punk, to metal, death metal, industrial, pop, reggae, etc.
I've been to punk concerts, rock, metal, jazz, classical. I've been in mosh pits, real ones, not the crap that most think of these days.
It's all a bit of fun. :)
