Where to start? Well, the first nine songs were released for free for a reason, folks. In what was a rather prolific year for Reznor, Ghosts I-IVproved that not all experiments he undertakes work. The largely instrumental, atmospheric collection followed his bitter divorce from Interscope Records and was mostly improvised, reportedly over two-plus ...
At first, this final EP in a trilogy shows signs of promise: “Shit Mirror” leaps right out of the gate, replete with thrashy guitars, bombastic rhythms, and Reznor’s signature angsty vocals, followed by “Ahead of Ourselves,” a track that harkens back to Nine Inch Nails of yore. But then, Bad Witchdevolves into an almost Zorn-like, avant-jazzy journ...
If there is any silver lining to be found amid this whole COVID-19 crisis, it has to be the release of two free Nine Inch Nails records. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross finished the instrumental albums as the deadly pandemic spread across America, all to help fans stave off some of the ennui of self-isolation and social distancing. And boy, does Ghos...
On Year Zero, a concept album that nearly spawned an HBO miniseries, Reznor swaps out the overtly sexualized lyricism of his earlier work in favor of an elaborate narrative set in a dystopian future where Christianity is king and free will no longer exists. The album was a thinly veiled critique of President George W. Bush’s administration and poli...
The first EP in a three-part series, Not the Actual Eventsis an aggressive and ominous set that seems almost tailor-made for fans of the band’s more abrasive material. Raw, unpolished, and unpredictable, Reznor appropriately described the EP in a statement as “unfriendly.” And it is, boasting distorted bass, explosive drum blasts, and razor-sharp g...
Over his career, Trent Reznor’s collaborated with a whole host of diverse musicians for both his own projects and theirs. But it’s been his decade-long alliance with Atticus Ross that has resulted in some of Nine Inch Nails’ more atmospheric material. In March 2020 —at a time so desperate, toilet paper had become something of a commodity—Reznor and...
The second EP in the trilogy that ends with Bad Witch, Add Violenceencompasses that classic Nine Inch Nails sound, with epic compositions rife with fuzzy guitars, layered synths, and complex electronic elements. An eclectic, groovy collection of tunes that displays a more mature Reznor, Add Violencecloses with the hypnotic, 14-minute-long track “Th...
Some records require repeated listens before you can fully appreciate their brilliance, and The Slipis just such a record. Another effort Reznor decided to release gratis, The Slipis a gritty, synth-heavy album full of industrial pop numbers (like “1,000,000” and “Echoplex”) that are sure to get the blood coursing through the old veins. However, a ...
Nine Inch Nails has never released the same album twice, but on Hesitation Marks, there’s truly no sign of the dejected, wrathful Reznor of Pretty Hate Machineand The Downward Spiral. Instead, Hesitation Marksis a carefully crafted album bearing funky rhythms, overlapping vocals, and a heavy 1980s synth-pop influence on tracks such as “Copy of A.” ...
A cathartic double-album that exposed Reznor’s personal struggles with depression and drug abuse, The Fragiledropped five years after the quadruple-platinum The Downward Spiral. Expectations were high for the record, and it left some fair-weather fans disappointed. But The Fragilefeatures some of NIN’s finest instrumental tracks, as well as tunes t...

Jun 22, 2018 · 3. The Fragile (1999) Few would mistake Reznor for an optimist, but 1999’s sprawling The Fragile contains more silver linings than most Nine Inch Nails albums. Audacious in scope, the art-rock double album brims with atmospheric lamentations on the tenuous grasp on both sanity and human connection, with Reznor providing a bleak thesis statement on “Into the Void” as he sings, “Tried to ...
