I was doing some research on Trent Reznor and NIN recently since I haven't been following in detail about the project since The Fragile (I only heard of With Teeth and Year Zero but took no interest even though I watched them live 3 years ago).
But after reading about Year Zero and its promotional schemes and what Trent has done afterwards I decided to get The Fragile and Downward Spiral for cheap off eBay (both my original albums are back in Canada). I have been spinning these the last few days. Enjoying them immensely.
Probably the only true mix of industrial and rock with a little bit of pop added in (arguably on a few tracks only) that has gotten it right. A few songs leave a small dose of sour taste in my mouth but the majority is very good.

I am Chaos!
. These guys know how to play an 8 string guitar. One of the only bands I've heard that use them and DONT sound like a straight Meshuggah rip off. Incredible stuff and the new mix with real drums and their new singer gives the songs such a new life. I want this album yesterday.
