Nine Inch Nails: Next Steps

An experimental streak as restless as it is bold courses through the layers of NIN's output. On “Suck”, Trent Reznor cuts his trademark industrial crunch with contorted funk grooves. Piano-laced “All the Love In the World” is cyborg gospel featuring some of his most introspective lyrics. But the most radical example has to be “34 Ghosts IV”, acoustic-rich dark ambient from the haunted Ghosts I-IV album.
