Trust Me - It's Fine Art

Date of Review:  Dec 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: With 14 tracks and over an hour of music, "The Downward Spiral" is a monolith of art. Try not to swallow it whole or you may choke.
Review: When Trent Reznor first hit the industrial scene with "Pretty Hate Machine," it was clear he was a genius. This one-man band took industrial into mainstream airwaves and found a broad audience for his music. Nine Inch Nails wrapped industrial up...

A Great Experience of Misery

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2000
Review: If you are even sort of pondering on the thought of possibly purchasing this album, take my advice...Do It! However, this album is by no means for the light of heart. This album contains just about as much information about human pain and suffering...

Well I for one think pigs are adorable.

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2005
The Bottom Line: A violent, sad, nihilistic, abrasive, apathetic, angry album. In other words, the pinnacle of Nine Inch Nails.
Review: Trent Reznor has to be bipolar. The world he paints with his music is of either absolute purity or torrid uncleanliness, a soft second of euphoria or cold and apathetic hell on earth. Fortunately, for his sake, rather than see the glass as half...

Don't Leave Home without The Downward Spiral

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2000
Review: Nine Inch Nail's 1994 release of the Downward Spiral is an amazing album start to finish. Trent Reznor directs his anger into thrilling and perceptive lyrics and music. But this isn't just some more angry music. This is anger with a direction. Anger...

The Nightmare Before 'The Fragile'

Date of Review:  May 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: It manages to be disturbing, beautiful, angry, observant, and one of my favorite albums of all-time.
Review: I bought 'The Downward Spiral' around mid 1997, due to great coercion from a good friend, and upon my first few listens, I absolutely fell in love. It went off in two directions; it began loud, angry, and coarse; and ended tranquil, but still...

Downward Spiral

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2001
The Bottom Line: Buy it now!! You won't regret it.
Review: Why did I buy this album?
I bought this album because I have been a fan of the band ever since they came out with their first cd. I wanted to finish my collection off. Once I listened to it, I realized that it was completely worth buying. I...

The Climax

Date of Review:  Feb 22, 2006
Review: From start to finish this is by far the greatest NIN album. There's the in your face songs like March of the Pigs, quiet and contemplative songs like Hurt, and there's always the one that makes you want to find someone to "cuddle" with...Closer. If...

My favorite album of my short life

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2000
Review: THIS is without a doubt the BEST album I have EVER heard. Words cannot express how much I love this album.
Downward Spiral is an anger filled concept album which is a story surrounding a person's downward spiral of life and drift into suicide...

A strange, uncomfortable, enjoyable journey

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: Pick this album up. It is a musical masterpiece, and a very interesting experience to listen to. Every song on the album is great.
Review: After the depressed musings and infectious dance beats of Trent Reznor's debut "Pretty hate Machine" and the heavy metal guitar riffs of his follow-up "Broken," nobody was expecting anything as thoughtful as "The Downward Spiral" out of the...

Trent Reznor is my hero. (5-star album W/O)

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you have any interest in industrial, hard rock, or metal rock music, you owe it to yourself to pick this one up. You definitely won't regret it.
Review: Well here I go, involved in my first write-off. Seeing as how the topic is a 5-star album, I searched through my cd collection, trying to find that one perfect album. I looked at some Smashing Pumpkins, Our Lady Peace, Furnaceface, Hayden, KMFDM,...
