In Utero was released in 1993. Anyway, great review.

reznor comes up with some interesting synth textures and riffs occasionally (though not very often) but any positive points are obliterated by the whiny, navelgazing lyrics and vocals. there's a reason why most of the people who think he's a genius are teenagers who haven't listened to enough music to know any better.

and to the guy above, it's largely because of NIN's influence that the current industrial crop is so pathetic. NIN just took the good stuff and watered it down for a mainstream audience.

I wouldnt go so far to say genius, but this album is right there with Coil's Horse Rotorvator in terms of classic. Still fuckin awesome bro

disliking one artist doesn't make someone jaded

dismissing an entire genre does, however

lol what gave you the impression that i care in the slightest about you not liking industrial. and should i preface every statement concerning NIN with IN MY OPINION so you don't get all angsty and personally offended

still waiting for you to say something that isn't incoherent and overdefensive

Coil, ministry, skinny puppy kmfdm, 242, and, eh, they're pretty lame, but I always liked Filter...

I straight up loved this album. It is and forever will always be my favorite NIN cd. Every song on it is just perfect.

The layering on that song is nuts but it really works.
