Ah what the hell - enough of hearing you guys talk about the album Im getting this. But I really don't think the Downward Spiral is what its cracked up to be. I liked Pretty Hate Machine better, I got into an argument with my SAT tutor about that today...

Album Rating: 3.5

This album was pretty good, it had it highs, but also some songs kinda felt B-sideish, and hella cheesey. "The Great Destroyer" was so cheasey with that chant I laughed my ass off when I heard the first time, and still laughing. "Survivalism" is a very good single and well desirved. "Capital G", "Vessel", "Zero-Sum" and "My Violent Heart" are highlights too.

Top 5:
Capital G
My Violent Heart
Vessel

Zero-Sum and My Violent Heart are the only two standout tracks imo.

Really?

I kinda despise 'My Violent Heart' at times...I don't see what's so great about it.

"Zero-Sum" is just incredible...

Album Rating: 4.5

I still can't tell if I love or hate My Violent Heart yet, don't know why. I think that Zero-Sum is better when fitting into the album as a whole rather than on its own.

This album is absolutely amazing. Good review :]

I'm interested in getting this, as I loved TDS. I really like In This Twilight right now.

fucking trent releasing another album without providing me ample time to prepare...



^^^^ Still has to save up cash to obtain 95% of music.

With a few exceptions, this is pretty much a solid hour of boredom.

The Rolling Stone review of this album was absolutely horrendous.

You should write for them.

They wouldn't give enough article space.

It is pretty mediocre. I could have done without the whole Kermit the frog paragraph. But still, a pretty good closing line. 'But he runs out of disc space before he runs out of ideas, and it's the first time that's happened in quite a while. '

it took me forever to break into this album. the whole subdued feel put me off badly at first, the bass always seemed massively distorted along with the drums and everything seemed to be the same.

the concept itself is something that kept me going and as i continued to listen to it, i heard beyond the distorted bass and drums that all sounded the same and actually noticed that the music was textured very subtly. and the subtly was enough to make all the songs decidedly different.

i'd say there aren't any 'classic' songs on this album like head like a hole and closer and all that, but the album itself is probably one of the strongest trent reznor has released in a long time because it flows so well

Album Rating: 4.0

The concept of the album is what got my attention. The message behind the album was far more interesting to me than the music itself. Don't get me wrong though the music is good, but only one song, God Given, really stood out to me.This Message Edited On 04.25.07This Message Edited On 04.25.07

The Downward Spiral is much more accessible than Year Zero, but hey, it's great.

Gonna check this out.
