A must !!! 7 2

Let us not hide the transition to the twenty-first century has proved complicated for Trent Reznor (semi commercial failure, depression, alcoholism, rehab).
The Fragile was the consecration (I do not try to argue) a first part of career almost faultless (the unifying Pretty Hate Machine, The Downward Spiral UFO, the Natural Born Killers soundtrack génialissimes & Lost Highway).
Since then, with NIN, Reznor was very good singles but lost this ability to create homogeneous albums, that one really listened from beginning to end.

Hesitation Marks, it is found Trent!
He took his time, digested the arrival of new technologies (both for composition and for the diffusion), has tried a new musical style (initiated by NIN Ghosts, together with Atticus Ross on the soundtrack of The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, 2 & 1 EP album with the band How To Destroy Angels).

After +/- 25 year career, Oscar (who would have imagined tuxedo, bow tie), it proves that he still has things to say and more importantly, how to do it.
Certainly this is not the slap of 94 but stop to wait indefinitely. It will forever remain unique.
The maturity mixed with the originality that he shows in this album shows us once again that it is one of the most inventive musicians of his generation.
