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

100 Greatest American Albums of All Time (100 music items)

"Platinum American Gothic Between Lollapalooza I and Woodstock II, Trent Reznor settled in at the Manson murder house on L.A.’s Cielo Drive and cranked out an industrial-rock gem.
