Title: Genius? Nope.
Product review: I like NIN to a point, but the truth is Reznor isn't a visionary, and he doesn't tread any new musical ground. Big Black(though not exactly an "industrial" band) put out records in the 80s that not only laid the groundwork for what later became "industrial rock", but also blow bands like NIN completely out of the water.... all recorded on a DIY budget that's probably equivalent to what it cost Trent to record and produce ONE of the tracks on The Fragile. The Big Black song "Kerosene" alone contains more genius and intensity than this entire 2-disc set combined.
