I saw NIN in Tampa back in ’94. Great stuff.

After PHM, it was all “crank it up to 11!” from NIN.

Broken was okay (although the Fixed remixes may have been better) but it really was all downhill from there. It simply amazed me how he lost all of the subtlety and inflection of PHM and became all Sturm und Drang…sad really.

That would mean that Trent Reznor is now as over-the-hill as Mick Jagger. I wonder how he’s taking it.

I took a copy of Pretty Hate Machine with me when i joined the active duty Army in 1990. Head Like a Hole was popular on KROQ in Los Angeles, but pretty much unknown everywhere else. You should have seen the looks i got for listening to that in the barracks at Jump School. (Delta Company, the Rock) After the first Gulf War, the only Corporal we had in the platoon kept borrowing it. he called it the “God Money” song.

How appropriate “Head Like A Hole” is for todays political climate eh?

Oh and “the downward spiral” was also good. Otherwise, yeah nothing since.
