I don't care who you are or what rock you hid under but if you haven't heard of this album, or any part of it, your an alien to me. This is probably one of the Top 10 Classic industrial albums of all time, in my eyes, and I'm probably not alone in saying that either.

Even after 15 years it still sounds current and the music still kicks ass. It spans so many levels too. We have hard br... read more

Description: O O Amazon.com essential recording Nine Inch Nails are a pretty amazing phenomenon when one considers what they--um, he--have done with just a few studio recordings.

500 CDs You Must Own Before You Die! (500 music items)
