Negative Positive
Title: Hey, he's branching out...
Review: No, it's not the best Nine Inch Nails record, (although I feel like ranking an artist's work is futile and silly.) It's a good, solid rock record, very focused on sticking a few songs to you and getting out of town. The more organic "band" approach is refreshing, and some of these songs are meaner sounding than anything Trent's done previously. The layers of guitar in "Know what you are" and "Getting Smaller" are absolutely stunning, and deserve to be heard on a huge stereo. (The thought of people MP3ing this record for tiny headphones seems tragic.) Overall, I really enjoyed this record, and have no idea why some people complain about it. He already made "The Downward Spiral" & "The Fragile", let the man do what he wants.
Is the review positive or negative?
