Nine Inch Nails-Further Down the Spiral

1/2

With a mixture of raw hardcore and enriched techno beats, this album puts the two concepts into a good mix. Major diversity. This album is completely different right through the end. A perfect example is the song Piggy (nothing can stop me now). It starts off with powerful chords then turns into a techno bit and goes in between the two with different beats throught the whole song. Very interesting to listen to. This isn't one of those albums where you just put it in the cd player and forget its on. It'll keep your ear the whole way. Trent Reznors vocals are just mezmerizing. Expecially when singing whispery lyrics. All the songs show Trent's talent and proves how much this band has to offer. This album does take a while tog et used to but once you get into it, it's really an unique listening.

Best thing about the album: Tons of diversity
