And what an album it was, thousands of teens and adults alike turned to Nine Inch Nails, "I can relate to the lyrics, it's eerie." After a year, it had already sold more than a million copies, going gold, and has been welcoming buyers for years. A definite classic, grade A music. Music: 10 songs of depression, rejection, redemption, and self-discoverance. Containing such classic NIN songs, "Something I can Never Have," and "Sin". A great first attempt at an album, sounds better than most older bands could produce. Cover Design: Colorful and a little clashing, but it's still good. Collectability: The American version is out of print, but you could also get the Canadian version. If you don't have this album, I tell you, you shouldn't be at this site. Rarity: Not so rare, the Canadian import will be in print for a while under the Nothing lable, so don't worry about missing it...but you just need a fresher cd with less scratches...right?
