Nine Inch Nails

Musical Group

Nine Inch Nails is an American industrial rock project founded by Trent Reznor in 1988. Reznor is the primary creative force (songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist). The project is known for landmark albums such as The Downward Spiral and The Fragile.

Trent Reznor is the central figure of Nine Inch Nails. Atticus Ross is a frequent collaborator (featured in several late-period releases and soundtrack work). The band has released both vocal albums and large instrumental/ambient works (for example Ghosts I–IV) and in the 2000s experimented with free and alternate release strategies (e.g., Ghosts I–IV, The Slip). Famous songs often discussed in reviews include "Closer", "Hurt", and "Head Like a Hole".

DeBaser's reviews praise Nine Inch Nails' landmark 1990s albums (The Downward Spiral, The Fragile, Broken) while giving mixed reactions to some later releases (With Teeth, Year Zero, The Slip). Instrumental / ambient projects such as Ghosts and novel release strategies (free downloads) are noted. Reviews combine close readings of lyrics and strong reactions to the band's sonic evolution.

For:Fans of industrial/alternative rock, electronic and ambient music listeners, and readers interested in album-by-album criticism.

 Frightening album, dirty, sick, which certainly won't be liked by everyone and which, especially in the second part, projects the mind into a parallel world.

 If you don't like Pretty Hate Machine, you probably just need to turn up the volume.
