Don't get me wrong, I've always been a big Nine Inch Nails fan. I had about 50 pictures of Trent Reznor up on my wall when I was an agnstfull teen, i've seen him twice in concert and they even used to call me "Carrie Reznor" at school. I got a log of laughs when I told people I was marrying a guy named "Trent".

So his new album "with teeth". Sounds good. He's a great musician. But it sounds like he used all the same lyrics and verbage he's always used and just moved them around. Some of the sounds in each song sound like other songs. There just wasn't a song on the album that felt like a hit. It was still all "poor me, i'm so depressed, the world sucks". Is he running out of ideas?

We aren't his target audience anymore. I'm seeing the same thing with a lot of artists I admired in my 20-somethings. But fortunately some of them do continue to evolve. :)
