It's good, but it gets old really quick, in my opinion.
I never got the appeal of Nine Inch Nails or industrial.
Starts off very industrialised and not very enjoyable, but slowly progresses and becomes a brilliant, ambient, enjoyable, yet moving experience. Couldn't care much for the concept. Didn't even know that it was a concept album until post-listen.
Really the appeal of this album is its production style. The sound textures are fantastic. The lyrics can be bad at times, but its sound compensates for that.
great alBum is
Depression, perversion and the tendness to self-destruction could not be represented better than on this album. The lyrics are doubtlessly explicit in expressing Reznor's opinion about life, sex, drugs and religion and the music is noisy and violent enough to perfectly support them. The concept behind the album is a long and painful journey for both the protagonist and the listener, which inevitably takes us to death. It's terribly, but fascinatingly dreadful.
Trent Reznor is a genious guy and this album just shows it perfectly. Hurt has one of the most poetic lyrics ever, and Closer is just genious. Mr.Selfdestruct is also incredibly amazing. One of those albums you either love or hate. And i love it.
What unrequited lust sounds like. Trent Renzor is a brilliant one man recking crew. Epic record.
Incredible! This album is just one of a kind, very loud, dark, and creative. An all-time favorite. This is one of those that will just blow your mind if you hear it as a teenager.
I'd like to add misanthropist to the list of terms dropped regarding this album. So bleak, so dark, yet so beautiful. Trent Reznor never topped this. Not even close.
