Negative Positive
Title: toothless and old...
Review: if you're looking for the innovation of "pretty hate machine" or the emotional savagery of "broken," you won't find it here. even the aptly-titled "the downward spiral" held more appeal than this album does, and, for all its soundtrack-like variety, "the fragile" was much more listenable.it's as if old trent reznor is pulling a "depeche mode" on his fans -- we all know that the man is capable of creating wonderful music, but it seems as though his intent on making something new and different winds up steering his quality ever downward.i'm going to unload this cd at the local used cd store a.s.a.p., and wait for gary numan's upcoming "jagged halo" instead -- better to leave it to the man that started the genre to save it. reznor may have contributed in his time, but i'll not be buying another nine inch nails album at the rate he's going.
