The Downward Spiral – Nine Inch NailsView More By Nine Inch Nails Our ReviewAs if to underscore the sincerity of his taste for gothic atmosphere, Trent Reznor recorded NIN's second full album in a home studio that occupied the same L.A. hillside residence where the infamous Sharon Tate murders had been executed by the Manson family a quarter-century earlier. But there was considerably more to Reznor's music and persona here than such a hype-ready angle might indicate. Suffused with a palette of sonic textures and a dynamic range that were rare in industrial music, Reznor conjures one of the genre's touchstones here, a 1994 album that spawned the dark, sexually charged "Closer," which quickly became NIN's resilient breakthrough hit. The single "March of the Pigs" also underscores the unlikely pop sensibility that lurked beneath Reznor's patent sturm und drang, another key to his becoming one of the '90's most challenging rock icons.. Customer Reviewsnine inch nails best (5 stars)The Downward Spiral is music at it's finest. Trent Reznor fill the record with so many layers, you will find yourself hearing things new every-time you give it a spin. The album tells a great story of a troubled soul and how he finally deals with life. It would be hard to break this album down song by song since it is enjoyed much better as a whole. If you area fan of industrial or rock in general give it a chance you won't be disappointed. Fantastic! (5 stars) This album is a work of art! Every song, every lyric, everything on this album is great! Trent Reznor is a musical genius that, even after being in the business for 16 years, hasn't lost his touch. What's great about this is, this album has to be listend to as a whole, song by song. If you skip even one song, you feel like you're missing out on something. And, as every other reviewer before me has noted, the album is full of layers. On 5-Stars for: Most Original Nine Inch Nails Album (5 stars) The Downward Spiral is arguably Reznor's most original work. Accredited as the pinnacle album in his career, this album is so unique, so full of shear talent, so full of raw emotion - it is unfortunately too difficult and/or complicated for most people to tolerate listening to all the way through. The unfortunate result: Millions of people downloading the song “Closer” and nothing else. This album is not your ordinary rock album and BiographyFormed: 1989 in Cleveland, OHGenre: Alternative Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Nine Inch Nails were the most popular industrial group ever and were largely responsible for bringing the music to a mass audience. It isn't really accurate to call NIN a group; the only official member is singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Trent Reznor, who always remained solely responsible for NIN's musical direction (he was, however, supported in concert by a regular backing band). Unlike the vast majority of industrial artists, Reznor wrote melodic, traditionally structured songs where lyrics...
