Review:
Nine Inch Nail's fourth and possibly last album. A masterpiece created almost entirely
by one-man-band Reznor, this is going to be the benchmark for all techno/industrial/rock songs
for years to come. This time, a more mature, bittersweet sound. Lots of mood shifting soundscapes
and heart felt lyrics of a man going through recovery, but never quite making it. And for the
harder tunes, "Starf*ckers, Inc.", "We're in this Together," and "Somewhat Damaged" will get you
going. Sadly, there is word that there will be no more Trent Reznor created full albums, but you
never know. Most likely, he will be involved in the music, but not sing anymore. Let's hope this
isn't true.
Music: Two cds, 23 songs. Every single one of them worth a heavy dose of listening.
This is definitely Nine Inch Nails, no wait, Music, at it's complete and glorious pinnacle. Bob
Ezrin, "Pink Floyd's" continuity mastermind, gave this cd it's own awe-inspiring flow.
Cover Design: Wonderful art by David Carson. This design technique is now all over the
NINternet, including this page!
Collectability: This is an instant classic. 'Nuff said.
Rarity: Also clogging up the store racks, go buy and experience it!
