After a rambling message like I had written, I figured a quick summary
question was necessary ;)

Okay, I actually am of the same thought as you here.  Notice I said "can
be" not "is."  I find random noises unappealing, but give that noise
structure and form and you have something.

Also, something I feel is a key part of NIN's and Portishead's work is
/distortion/ not noise per se.  By makign somethign sound worse, in a way
you can make it sound better.  Maybe it's the added "character" or
something, but I enjoy it.

BTW, FWIW, IMHO, AFAIK, yes.  OTOH, AAMOF, maybe not.  YMMV.
