Details: Product DescriptionNine Inch NailsAmazon.caIt’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
