Spencer:
A handful of listens later, and I'm still smitten with this album. I still think it's Trent's best album since Broken, but I also think it unfair to compare it to any of his previous work. While stil distinctly Nine Inch Nails, this album isn't like anything he's done before. It's a *rock record*. Trent made a rock and roll record in the style of Nine Inch Nails, and I for one think the result was pretty darned good.

It's not a *great* record. I think even the people who really love it (and yes, I really do love it) will admit that it isn't a groundbreakingly phenomenal record. But it is *good*. If you are a fan of Rock Music, and a Fan of earlier NIN, you're probably gonna like this record. If you thought The Downward Spiral and The Fragile were zomgwtf the most awesomest ever, then you're probably not gonna be too keen on this. The lyrics aren't that amazing. Many of the songs have repeating one line choruses. But they work with the songs, and Trents voice is, dare I say, Lovely. I think the procussion work on the album is tremendous, and I know that Grohl can't get all the credit. I don't know which songs Trent did and whioch Grohl did, but I enjoy them all.

If you're going to play the Comparitive Criticism game, then no, this album does not stack up against Pretty Hate Machine or The Downward Spiral (depending on which school of thought you are a part of in regards to their "best" album). However, basing your opinion of an artists work based on previous work is a flawed approach, and I truely weep for you and your taste in music. Judge the album based on its own merits and flaws, and don't be scared to admit you like something that isnt OMGWTF the greatest album evAr.

rynne:
From the liner notes, it looks like drummers are:

Dave Grohl:
"All the Love in the World"
"You Know What You Are?"
"The Collector"
"Every Day Is Exactly the Same"
"Getting Smaller"
"Sunspots"
"The Line Begins To Blur"

Jerome Dylan:
"With Teeth"
"Home"

I won't say I'm a NIN fan... I have The Downward Spiral and The Fragile and like the former, love the latter... as for this one... I dunno, I just didn't particularly enjoy it. Listenable, certainly, but I can't see myself listening to it much in the near future.

*shrug*

i haven't heard all of the album, just little bits floating around the building, and i've enjoyed it.

the arts section of my local newspaper had written an interesting article on this album in relation to reznor's sobriety, and i have to give him tremendous credit for that. dunno if i'd buy it, i have yet to own a n.i.n album, but it's definitely a consideration. i'd like to hear more before making a decision.
