Review by Marcus Stalmer (original review date: 4-25-05)
Nine Inch Nails is back and Trent hasn’t slipped one bit. This time around he’s got a message about the future and it is: It’s not here yet and probably never will be.
“Love Is Not Enough” is the only track that sucks. Still, Trent gives us his incredible version of the future with tracks like “The Hand That Feeds” “With Teeth” “Beside You In Time” and “All The Love In The World”. He’s got a clear message for all of mankind with tracks like “Everyday Is Exactly The Same” “Only” and “Right Where It Belongs”.
To find an album that says so much is like trying to find Waldo with his glasses off and dressed in S&M gear at a homosexual Harley Davidson convention. Good luck. He’s got more integrity and confidence than ever and he comes around every few years just to fuck everything up and remind us that we are slaves. Not only that but he’s one of the few on the fringe of the industry fighting the retro-bullshit-scene. NIN fucks up everything in the past… Trent assrapes the teenyboppers and demolishes everything on MTV. The pussies over at Rolling Stone were too busy going down on the guys from Kings Of Leon to put their review on their site.
