the writing credit for "suck" caused a minor controversy. whereas pigface albums list all contributors to each of the songs, in this case "atkins/rieflin/barker/reznor" as listed on "gub", the credit on "broken" states "written by t. reznor/pigface". on the later pigface release "truth will out", the writing credit for the song is "whatever trent says – really – no shit". reznor talked about his problem with pigface in an unreleased 1992 melody maker magazine interview. reznor says he came in at the end of the "gub" recording session, when time was running out, sang the lyrics for suck over the leftover drum snippets they had, threw it together and said it was done. he stated he doesn't like the recording. later when pigface were going to go on tour, reznor taught them the proper music he had written for the song which is completely different than the music that he sang over on the pigface studio recording. pigface toured with the song with nin, even playing the song with reznor a few times. (note: the original pigface recording is abstract noise and occasional bass over drum beats; nothing like reznor's version.) the following year, reznor put out his version on "broken". in the liner notes, he mentions that there were personality conflicts and people saying they deserve more than they have.
