There is simply too much to say about this album, so I’m keeping it short.

The sound alone, without the amazing lyrics, is a lot to take in. It is never boring. There is always some sort of auditory interest going on and a lot of unexpected beats added in. It keep you on your toes. As for the lyrics, I enjoyed the nilhistic themes. You could analyze them to death and they’d still be amazing. “Closer”, “Heresy”, and “I Do Not Once This” I particularly enjoyed.

I think this album is a new favorite for sure.

I am a huge NIN’s fan and have been since I was a teen. This is the best album and the biggest. I never tire of listening to it.
