 | | From the valiant, if naive, Industrial pop effort of Pretty Hate Machine to the furious dissatisfaction of Broken, to the genuinely troubled Downward Spiral, to the mature devastation of The Fragile, Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor has proven to be one of the more vital forces in popular music. Sequestered with his Macintosh, Reznor has perfected the art of projecting personal alienation, self-loathing, and bitter betrayal. A master of creating tension in silence and releasing it in explosions of industrial aggression, Reznor's songs have become dark anthems for tons of dejected High School students dressed in black. |
