Well it' s been out two days now, and for me it' s much better than I was expecting.

It' s actually different again to previous albums and has a very minimalist techno (warp records etc) feel and Mr Reznor seems to have abonded much of the heavier guitar stylings from previous albums. It' s also very very noisy and I like the more traditional industrial element. I can understand the slower pace pissing off many NIN fans, but it' s certainly not mellow or selling out. In many ways this is Nine Inch Nails most experimental and adventurous album to date.

Some friends really don' t like it, but I think it' s much better than With Teeth-AH. There aren' t too many stand out tracks but the album as a whole works extremely well. Nice one Trent!

I was going to post this in listening too... but everyone likes a bit of NIN and this deserves it' s own thread.
