"I am the lover in your bed..."

Date of Review:  May 24, 2000
Review: Sometimes the best way to fully comprehend the premise of a musican's album is to be aware of his/her background and how the music is self-perceived.

Despite the negative publicity that Nine Inch Nails have gotten as a band, mainly because...

Trent Slips Up A Bit

Date of Review:  Jun 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: Full marks to Trent for trying, and the album is technically excellent in places, but the lasting impression for me is one of too few ideas spread too thinly.
Review: Trent Reznor isn't a very happy person. We know this because he's told us so. Repeatedly. In fact, most of Reznor's musical output to date has been lyrically centred on how terrible life and the universe in general are. To be honest, I'm getting a...

Going Down

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2000
Review: I had heard of Nine Inch Nails long before I actually listened to them. Rumors of the band inciting people to suicide eventually drew me to listen to The Downward Spiral and the Broken EP at a local used CD store. I bought both of them that same...

Trent Reznor's ouvre

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2001
The Bottom Line: The Downward Spiral is a brilliant concept album centering around a character who you don't know whether to pity for his loss or his inability to recover.
Review: Trent Reznor's lyrical style has been compared to many things, from unadulterated genius to the morbid and self-indulgent diary of an angst-riddled male. But while sometimes going over the top (the infamous "I want to f*** you like an animal" on...

A beautiful whirl of hate and emotion

Date of Review:  May 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: Probably my favorite album ever, it's that good.
Review: This album is nothing less than a masterpiece. It's magnificent. Easily Nine Inch Nails's best to date. A wonderful comeback to their 1989 debut, Pretty Hate Machine. Trent Reznor really puts through his thoughts in a magnificent, industrial form...

My Empire of Dirt

Date of Review:  Oct 2, 2003
The Bottom Line: One of the best albums out there. Go get it.
Review: The train rattles through the early darkness of an October evening. Rain spatters against the window, inches from my face, as I peer into the pitch darkness beyond: my own reflection more visible than anything beyond the train. It s almost as if...

why you should own the Downward Spiral.

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: my final recommendation for Nine Inch Nail's: The Downward Spiral would be to BUY IT, because, it's one that you would REGRET passing up!
Review: from the loud, surging music mixed with Trent Reznor's screams in the songs "Big Man With A Gun" and "Hersey", to the soft, relaxing, 'just above a whisper' sound of the song "Hurt"...and from the very sexual lyrics of "Closer", to the most...

THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL (Nothing/Interscope Records)

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: The Downward Spiral is an excellent concept album and is extremely moving in the sense of someone's soul slowly deteriorating into oblivion that ends in suicide.
Review: This is Nine Inch Nails', or Trent Reznor's, third album and second full length album. The Downward Spiral came out in March 1994 and shot to no.2 on the Billboard 200. Since, it has sold a little over 5 million copies. This album really made Trent...

The one that went wrong

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: Great - if you really want an excuse to kill yourself. Not their best. Only if you know it's what you want.
Review: Trent Reznor is still my hero, don't get me wrong. Just this album is steadily slipping off my list of favourites.
I bought it at the beginning of a slide into morbid hate-the-worldness and for all of two months loved it. By that point I began...

The Wall of the 90's

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2000
Review: Reznor must have really liked Pink Floyd's _The Wall_: as far as I'm concerned this is a Roger Waters production. I wonder if they could get together and make the ultimate inner-angst recording...?

This recording reveals more depth than...
