Lacks a lot of the creativity that Trent once had. However, it is still a good listen. And you can't beat the price either.
Mike L. gave it a9:
Awesome album. It's classic NIN!
J P gave it a9:
Easily on par with the Fragile, even the instrumental tracks are excellent. A must buy for any NIN fan. The only problem, it needs more songs.
Ian S. gave it a10:
Quite simply a superb album. The top album of the year in my opinion.

I always look forward to a new release from nin. They're one of my favorite bands however Trent's output has been flawed since The Fragile. For me their best album will always be The Downward Spiral. I listened to this album intently and feel like it encompasses many facets of their sound to date. You start with 999,999 which is the ambient opener reminiscent of Pinion and straight into 1,000,000 which to me sounds like a song from year Zero. The typical loud abrasive song Letting You will keep the traditional industrial metalheads happy. It's then followed by the single Discipline which is this album's The hand that feeds. Then this iswhen the album gets interesting for me with Echoplex and Head Down which sound slightly different. They still have the murky distorted sound but sound like they couldn't have been on any other album but this one. Then we have Lights in the sky which is the token quiet track which could be lifted from Still and the next two tracks are instrumental which sound like they could have been included on either Ghosts or Fragile. The last track is Demon Seed which is a decent song but a bit anticlimactic. Overall i enjoyed the album but it's not a classic but it's best appreciated if you don't compare it to past works and take it for what it is an extension to With Teeth and Year Zero's sonic landscapes. I actually think that someone who has never heard of nin would probably enjoy this album more then an ardent fan.
