Comment:

If Trent Reznor had a bumper sticker customized for his car, it'd read something like "Making Death and Decay Sound Downright Pleasant Since 1988." After all, his soul-scrapping Nine Inch Nails collective is responsible for some of the darkest Top 40 tunes of all time, whether we're talking about the sinister synths and unholy hooks of "Closer," the screeching riffs and chain-gang grunts of "Head Like a Hole," or the tense strings and skittish drum & bass beats of "The Perfect Drug." And then there are NIN's less obvious numbers — a dizzying array of welcome detours that includes Aphex Twin's steamed-pressed Downward Spiral samples ("At the Heart of it All"), Telefon Tel Aviv's haunted house approach to "Even Deeper," and a Soft Cell cover ("Memorabilia") that teeters on the edge of a nervous breakdown for seven amp-frying minutes.
