“I just think Trent Reznor is so talented, so clever. He just sets the bar, resets the bar, resets the bar, all the time. Probably the best band ever in my opinion.”Watch this moment
The Downward Spiral
Nine Inch Nails
The Downward Spiral is the second studio album by the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, fronted by Trent Reznor. It was released on March 8, 1994, by Nothing Records and Interscope Records in the United States and Island Records in Europe. Considered one of the most influential and emblematic works of the 1990s, this concept album chronicles the self-destructive descent of a misanthropic protagonist into madness, dehumanization, and suicide.
“That was the first CD that inspired me to get into production.”Watch this moment

“It's just a dope-ass record. You can't fuck with it at all.”Watch this moment
