The Downward Spiral Explicit Lyrics
Description
Product description CD It’s easy to understand why Nine Inch Nails
became the industrial band to break out of the techno ghetto and win a larger
audience. Trent Reznor, who records the NIN albums almost entirely by himself
(although he tours with a full band), tries very hard to pass himself off as
an angry young man, but underneath the angst-ridden lyrics, pounding synths,
and grating guitars is an irrepressible pop sensibility. On the second full-
length NIN album, The Downward Spiral, Reznor builds his constructions of
noise and gloom around warm, fuzzy melodies. On the album’s first single,
“March of the Pigs,” for example, Reznor screams about swine lined up for
slaughter amid guitars screeching in pain. Suddenly the guitars fall away to
reveal the sensually throbbing rhythm track below; then that falls away to
reveal a vocal-and-piano track that’s as catchy as anything by Elton John.
Because Reznor has a better handle on dynamics now, the melodic core is more
obvious than ever. –Geoffrey Himes
