Trent Reznor
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) – David Fincher
[25-WR]
It honors the original by keeping it Swedish all the way including blurry accents that can´t stop its long force of satisfactory texture-layer brilliance.
[25-WR]
If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power (2021) – Halsey
[25-WR]
Glossy voice with edgy ‚in your face‘ lyrics and humongous hooks, cemented by sticky NIN-esque drum & bass, portraying a fallen angel gone rogue.
[25-WR]
“Mantra” (2013) Sound City – Real to Reel
[25-WR]
The slow turning sonic framework of experienced formulas firming each other up in mature cooperation. A compound-track that for once does not sound condescending.
[25-WR]
Happiness in Slavery (1994) – Nine Inch Nails
[25-WR]
I get the feeling that back then it would be weird not to break your instruments on stage so one just had to do it.
[25-WR]
Broken (1992) Nine Inch Nails – Official Website description (Coincidental 25-WR)
[25-WR]
„RECORDED IN SECRET TO AVOID INTERFERENCE FROM THE RECORD LABEL, THE FOLLOW-UP TO PRETTY HATE MACHINE TAKES AN UNEXPECTED ABRUPT TURN INTO SHEER AGGRESSION.“
[25-WR]
The Fragile (1999) – Nine Inch Nails
[25-WR]
It lacks a solid sound-slate design like the one “The Downward Spiral” has giving it a decentralized feeling somewhat affecting the old attention-span.
[25-WR]
Pretty Hate Machine (1989) – Nine Inch Nails
[25-WR]
A much less hermetic alternative when walking down the yellow big synth-road of the late eighties industrial-music industry in search for angry dancing.
[25-WR]
Antichrist Superstar (1996) – Marilyn Manson
[25-WR]
Conquering self-pity with heart, mind and complacent malice. A premonition revenge story by a brilliant tributist who brought hell to those who doubted him.
[25-WR]
Closer (1994) – Mark Romanek
[25-WR]
The crowning achievement of the golden age of MTV music videos by unsung cinematic master Mark Romanek. Single greatest favor Joel Peter-Witken ever got.
[25-WR]
Year Zero (2007) – Nine Inch Nails
[25-WR]
Beats, Bass & Drums in rocky finesse, without obligatory hit single – but definitely one of the better works of (clean) Trent‘s recent electro-sterile discography.
[25-WR]
The Downward Spiral (1994) – Nine Inch Nails
[25-WR]
Selbstauffressendes zeitloses Magnum Opus geschrieben im Drogenkonsum und Depressionenwahn. Diese einsaugende Reise beginnend bei oberflächlichen Ego-Makeln zum düster suizidalen Kern herbergt tiefst vergrabende (Emo)tionen.
[25-WR]
The Downward Spiral (1994) – Nine Inch Nails
[25-WR]
90´s “The Wall” thanks to a rare glitch in the mainstream that let him do this to us.
One hell of a cry for help.
