Do you like Nine Inch Nails? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when The Downward Spiral came out in '94, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a raw, crisp sound, and a new sheen of self loathing that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to David Bowie, but I think Trent has a far more bitter, cynical outlook on life. In '99, Trent released this, The Fragile, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Starfuckers Inc", a song so banging, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about Courtney Love, and Marilyn Manson, it's also a personal statement about the music industry. HEY PAUL!
