Hit: 4 Stars
First of all, owning all the throbbing gristle, coil, skinny puppy, laibach, wumpscut, or whatever other " real" industrial LPs doesn't make you some kind of expert on music.
downward spiral is highly overrated by the mainstream music critics but at the same time it is highly underrated by people who's main mission in life is to only listen to underground music and to constantly talk about how mainstream music will never be as good.
All the bands listed above are great. That doesn't make nine inch nails bad. Saying that there is no musical talent on this album is absurd. in fact pretty hate machine to the fragile are all really good albums
i'm not going to bother going into detail on this album because there are six hundred other reviews to do that for you.
its a good album. regardless of whether or not you usually listen to silver mt. zion on vinyl with all your snobby friends. Its possible to like underground music and also be able to appreciate something more popular. its called listening to what you like instead of what your supposed to like in your close-minded music elitist world.
good music is good music. get over yourself
The Downward Spiral Poster
Nine Inch Nails are a pretty amazing phenomenon when one considers what they--um, he--have done with just a few studio recordings. The Downward Spiral, NIN's second full-length album, is just as packed with vitriol as Pretty Hate Machine and the EP Broken--and has just as solid a base of pop hooks that go a long way toward explaining NIN's popularity. Most recognizable is the down-tempo single "Closer," which remains a staple of dance clubs everywhere. But for the most part, the album is all heavy beats and aggressive guitars--industrial music with a pop angle. That winning combination is what makes Trent Reznor a law unto himself, becoming insanely popular while the main body of industrial music retains its subculture status. --Genevieve WilliamsIt's easy to understand why Nine Inch Nails became the industrial band to break out of the techno ghetto and win a larger audience. Trent Reznor, who records the NIN albums almost entirely by himself (although he tours with a full band), tries very hard to pass himself off as an angry young man, but underneath the angst-ridden lyrics, pounding synths, and grating guitars is an irrepressible pop sensibility. On the second full-length NIN album, The Downward Spiral, Reznor builds his constructions of noise and gloom around warm, fuzzy melodies. On the album's first single, "March of the Pigs," for example, Reznor screams about swine lined up for slaughter amid guitars screeching in pain. Suddenly the guitars fall away to reveal the sensually throbbing rhythm track below; then that falls away to reveal a vocal-and-piano track that's as catchy as anything by Elton John. Because Reznor has a better handle on dynamics now, the melodic core is more obvious than ever. --Geoffrey Himes
Originally released in 1994, Trent Reznor created THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL as both a concept album and modern day classic. This influential 90's classic is Trent Reznor's industrial cum-tragic opera view of the world and the soul's sonically detailed fall from grace. The Downward Spiral delves into despair and anger with hard guitars and brutal beats.
