And a new nine inch nails box on the shelves ...

The NIN is still alive, no doubt listening to this album. Even if I had dropped the case for at least 10 years old (useless to hide it: The Downward Spiral remain irreparable trauma musical for people of my generation, hard to match by the album), I still found a pleasure in this listening.

A sense of homogeneity, quite far from the creative chaos of the first albums, but supported by a consistent atmosphere of the first to the last second. Finally, what we could not do with the NIN debut is now possible: let turn the pancake background music, be permeated by the industrial world Reznor, always tortured, but having reached the balance forces.
