Rivals with The Downward Spiral as the best of NIN in my opinion. Some truly genius work by Trent at writing melodies and more tuneful, organic music here. Recalls some of the best moments from The Fragile. I wouldn't call it a compilation but more of an EP as it contains more new songs than redone old ones. The instrumentals are all beautifully haunting, maybe a little same-ish in musical structure if you compare one to each other and hard to get into, but each one has its own feeling and atmosphere. As the reviewer said, "Leaving Hope" probably stands as the most memorable. "And All That Could've Been" is a great song and has some of the most gut wrenching lyrics Trent has ever written, and considering most of Trent's lyrics that's saying a lot. The songs that are done acoustic in this release are by themselves some of the best cuts from their respective original albums, add that to the fact that they're redone magnificently here and Trent's giving all it has in these performances. Considering not only the state Trent was in at the moment but simply the whole sound, feeling, lyrics and atmosphere this album brings, I would call it a great "depressive" album, very calm and quiet but still powerful and unsettling. Perfect to listen to when you're about to go to sleep, returning from a place in the early morning, or just feeling down and troubled.Slowdive SouvlakiThe Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream4.0 excellentClams Casino 32 Levels3.5 greatHIM Love Metal2.0 poorHIM Deep Shadows And Brilliant Highlights
