FORMED: 1989, Cleveland, OH

Ten years after Pretty Hate Machine gave a comatose rock
scene some much-needed electro-shock therapy, nine inch
nails' imprint on the genre remains unmatchable. By
popularizing electronic music, nine inch nails auteur Trent
Reznor rewired the mainstream, inspiring Time magazine to
name him "One of the Most Influential People in America,"
and Spin to praise him as "The Most Vital Artist in Music
Today."

The Grammy Award-winning artist is once again forcing the
genre's growth - and his own - by pushing both into new
territory. His latest, The Fragile (dubbed "The Decade's
Most Anticipated Album" by Alternative Press), is a
23-track, double-disc set that clocks in at over 100
minutes of music. Reznor dedicated two solid years to make More...

    Review about Nine Inch Nails

    Good | Reviewer: Oby K
        ------ About the song 10 Miles High performed by Nine Inch Nails

    The percussion in the song is cool. And I love the whole theme of trying so hard to not turn into someone you hate, but in the attempt you just find yourself closer to being like them than less like them.


    Songs can have many different meanings!! | Reviewer: Camilleeeeee
        ------ About the song Closer performed by Nine Inch Nails

    Well, this song could have many different meanings as has been pointed out by other reviews.

    The two main ones are: the obvious meaning being about sex and how Trent uses sex with someone to forget about other things and how good it feels, bringing him "closer to god."

    It also could be about drugs, sex being used as a metaphor (seems quite weird, but perhaps drugs used to turn him on and give him euphoria in a different way to sex, but in a way comparable to sex for him.)

    I think that both arguments are valid, but I don't know where the heck stuff about Muslims and Christians came from... that's a bit too far flung for me to believe to be connected to this particular song.


    Sadness | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Hurt performed by Nine Inch Nails

    I originally stumbled upon this gem when searching for a sad song to make a tribute with. After being mezmorized and listening to it over and over, I found that it was the most easily related-to song I've ever heard. It's amazing. It nearly made me cry.


    Mind Control | Reviewer: uhh huh
        ------ About the song Only performed by Nine Inch Nails

    This song is about mind control of any sort. When this song came out I had just crawling out of years deep depression caused by the mind control of my X and his family. In had let these people control so many aspects of my life- they had me convinced they were good people but, anything I wanted was suppressed & not good for all. (of them) As I tried to claw out of depression and talked with people I came to the realization that things were not as I thought they were and the more I looked at the situation the clearer it became. Looking back it was pretty funny watching them squirm as they realized I was seeing things (as they really were) they did not want me to see. When I kicked him out I was alone but then again I always was. The X was never there for me... he was nothing more than a puppet of his controlling family, he wasn't real. Making myself believe he was something he was not was a sure way of hurting myself, but I climbed thru it.


    song | Reviewer: Bre
        ------ About the song Every Day Is Exactly The Same performed by Nine Inch Nails

    I think people are digging a little too deep for a meaning to this song. The meaning of this song is in the title. It's about doing what society wants(ex: an office job), and never doing anything special with your life. You can't look different, you can't act different; society will shut you out if you do. We are taught to get an education, get a job, marry the opposite sex, and start a family. No one ever tells us to start a band, become an actor, or travel the world. We use the term "dream job" and push it aside. Sometimes we think we are happy with our simple lives, but in the end we want more and can't help but come to the realization that the names on our tombstones aren't significant. We have to do what we are told, every single day. It's all the same.

        ------ About the song Every Day Is Exactly The Same performed by Nine Inch Nails

    When I first heard this song, I was blown away. I then looked up the lyrics and damn they're almost like my life currently is. This song truely is a masterpiece and Trent is a real genius. NIN forever.


    Trent you rock man, but i dont think many people have realized what your trying to tell them | Reviewer: Thistle
        ------ About the song Sunspots performed by Nine Inch Nails

    your all wrong.. its about the earth and almost the whole album is about the PLANET.. i don't know why nobody gets the fact he is an environmentalist, duhhh.. listen to the last track "right where it belongs" he clearly is saying how we are all blind on the fact we are the ones in the animal cage and if the animals had any consciousness they would pity us for thinking we are so dominant with our ignorance to do what we please.. listen to the first track as well, and you will come to understand he is stating how he feels like the only specie who isn't doing anything to contribute the earth.. all the living things on this planet contributes in some way to help the planet flourish.. accept us humans!! i really wish people would do some research on Trent Reznor, before trying to understand his music.. nine inch nails is my favorite band, and with teeth was the first album i ever listened to. i didn't even have to research him to understand what his lyrics meant.. this album touched my heart, and when i found out what i now know about Trent it only made sense to me... he is just waiting to see how many people will get his point on the fact we are all part of the her (Gaia).. only his TRUE fans will come to understand what messages he sends through his lyrics..


    Asks questions, provides no answers | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Right Where It Belongs performed by Nine Inch Nails

    I'm a long time NIN fan.

    However the problem I have with Trents lyrics and his philosophy is that he critisizes common wisdom, and provides no answers.
    It is easy to critisize. Much harder to show us how to solve the problems.
    What are the answers Trent? Huh? I don't think you know what they are.


    My life | Reviewer: beyboy
        ------ About the song Every Day Is Exactly The Same performed by Nine Inch Nails

    I first heard this song while watching the movie WANTED.Im a Black guy that really dont get down with rock music but this song made me feel something.So i looked it up so i can hear the entire song and it blew my mind.This is my life and its was if i wrote it word for word.That same day i went out and brought the CD which was my first rock CD.NIN was the group singing this song.I then went on youtube to see the video and i knew this was the song for my life.


    amazing. | Reviewer: Trent Reznor.
        ------ About the song Hurt performed by Nine Inch Nails

    I have heard this song an uncountable amount of times and every time i hear it it touches me it is and without a doubt one of if not the deepest meaning full song that the music industry has to offer listen to the top 10 charts and all you'll here is Brittany spears babble on about boys and girls fucking her, fake ass black guys rapping about a girl that broke there heart or how to superman a hoe? Trent is amazing no doubt!.


    and all that never was- pt2 | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song And All That Could Have Been performed by Nine Inch Nails

    so it's 2am right now, my law assignment (which is worth 50% of my course work incidentally), is due in approximately seven hours and here I am -- procrastinating. But in this moment on intense despair, i think i have discovered the true meaning of this exam, eureka! It is my contention that Trent was having difficulty in construing meaning from Australian common law when he wrote this song.
    First, the title of the song --> most likely referring to the time he has pissed away when really he should have been researching or maybe he is thinking about $10,000 in scholarship money he is about to lose because he will inevitably fail to reach the distinction average set by the board. Another indicator of this is the final line 'you meant everything to me.'
    The line 'and all these pieces and promises and left behinds' is clearly referring to some contractual relationship where one the parties has flagrantly failed to uphold their obligations - in his case maybe courtney love failed to not fuck up his relationship with tori amos.
    The line 'i am locked in my head' refers to tort law or more specifically false imprisonment and i refer to the decision in Myer Stores Ltd v Soo.
    Finally, the anguish is only exacerbated by the fact that he realises that he has wasted another 5 mins of his life and that what he has written on a blog for a random website is in fact significantly better than his actual law assignment.
    P.S. if you did end up reading this (which i would seriously advise against - being a huge waste of anyone's time)please note that considering the 48 hr delay that applies to posts on this site that i will have failed by assignment by the tiem you read this and that my scholarship moneys will be on the brink of the gurgler.
    Alas, i will have to pretend that i expereinced a severely bad bout of...um, leprosy or a life-threatenign (not to mention groin threatening) case of "the Clap."
    Hmm, groin threatening? perhaps that's what trent meant by the line 'i am tainted'?


    This is hardly a review. | Reviewer: Angel
        ------ About the song Right Where It Belongs performed by Nine Inch Nails

    Every time I listen to this song, at the point where he sings "You keep looking but you can't find the words, Are you hiding in retreat?" I swear to god I keep hearing "You keep looking but you can't find the <i>woods</i>, are you hiding in the <i>trees</i>?" Is it just me? lol.
    Beautiful song, anyway.


    thoughts | Reviewer: xist
        ------ About the song And All That Could Have Been performed by Nine Inch Nails

    I think that this does not necessarily have to do with losing anyone loved and lost. I feel that Trent writes very personally about alot of things that are inanimate. Drugs, hate, politics, religion. He writes in a way that makes them seem more obscure and clouded so that perhaps there is a more broad span of possible self relation between the listener and what he writes. if you paint to narrow of a picture that is too defined you may close the door on some others who can view your lyrical content as it relates to them


    wow...we need an age check on these things.... | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About artist/band Nine Inch Nails

    First of all...Ryan, u sound like my 10 year old brother who will argue with me and my mom and than tell us to not talk to him when it's obvious he doesn't have a point.Secondly, this is a review for NIN, not a counciling session. U don't need to go and tell people what they are if this music or to get a bf...ur just 4 letters on some site and no one gives two s**ts...
    Now on to busnies. NIN is probably one the best bands in terms of variety/sounds. The beauty behind industrial is that u can sound a million diffrent ways with a general lyric idea and that is why i could listen to NIN all day and not get sick of it. As for not meaning what he writes...duh! no artist can say that they mean 100% and feel 100% of what they sing. Look at metallica, you think there entire lives and existance are focussed around killing people and burning stuff, ect. No! i seriously doubt a single band member has killed a person in there life but they still write about it. So deal with it cause last time i checked there's not any laws against it. So if u don't agree with trents music (which is fine) just be a man and rescpect the fact that what he does is insanly hard and time consuming.
    Finally...
    everyone has certain points in there life that are signifigant and it is from these that all artists (good ones anyways) draw inspiration for there lyrics/sounds. I'm a song writer and so i know this and if u don't believe me i can gladly show u a song or 2. Frankly, if Trent just made up all this music and lyrics just out of the blue with no life experience than that would only make it even more impressive...it be like building a arcituctual masterpiece without knowing basic math.


    "all that never was" | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song And All That Could Have Been performed by Nine Inch Nails

    "and all that never was..? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/6/09

    this is a beautiful song, and it is ..... problem with writer's block."

    i might just agree with you..
    i have listened to trent from my childhood days... and all his songs are deep.. needless to say im a great fan of his and i love his work.. but thats the thing.. he writes and sings with such deep emotion.. its sort of liberating.. i really dont think trent is in such a bad emotional shape.. he might be really much more light hearted in real life than we normally presume him to be.. when he sings and writes these songs it would release all his sad emotions and make him less burdened..in my view he isnt so sad or gloomy in real life.. these are all his sad emotions he wouldve once felt...after he has expressed it.. hes bound to feel light hearted.. but fans cant express their pain in songs like trent does.. so we remain sad and gloomy..but not him.. :)

    p.s. dont curse me.. i love trent too.


    haley kay | Reviewer: haley kay
        ------ About the song Non-Entity performed by Nine Inch Nails

    love nin i find them very inspireing (for my painting)nin is always giving me new a world to step in and out of they're music is something else ..i find it is very conectted to nature and that in itself makes me daydream for hours...i think my favorite thing about nin is they're music not the lyrics.(love the lyrics of course) i enjoy the sounds that are made and the awkwardness of how the songs are laid out <3


    and all that never was..? | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song And All That Could Have Been performed by Nine Inch Nails

    this is a beautiful song, and it is very easy for people from all walks of life to relate to it and draw some very personal meaning from it. the only thing that i guess detracts from the song, in my opinion, is the fact that i can't help but be skeptical if any of it is real, from trent's perspective. i know i will prob be virtually crucified for saying this, but i am a huge nin fan, but i still sometimes wonder if this song has any real relevance to trent. he's written very few love songs at all (if any, unless you regard something like 'the fragile'), and i think there's a reason for that -- does trent, or has he, within living memory, had any sort of romance or heartbreak? i don't know maybe he is just drawing a lot of emotion from one relationship he had a very long time ago, or maybe he isn't drawing any emotion from anywhere at all and is kinda just winging it .... he did have a huge problem with writer's block.


    this is magnificent | Reviewer: mykie
        ------ About the song Every Day Is Exactly The Same performed by Nine Inch Nails

    The first time i heard this song, it was on my radio when i was driving myself to therapy. im a rape victim, and a subsequent addict to marijuana, alcohol and cocaine as well as a self-mutilator. this song did something for me that i cant really put into words. all i know is that i can relate to what he's describing. when youre so depressed, the only thing you can do is drift through life in a sort of numb paralysis. you dont really feel anything. days and nights run together, like your mind has put up it's final defense against it own worst enemy: YOU. you dont feel your pain, but at the same time, you're not happy by far. its moving, to know that someone else knows what it's like to go through that. especially someone like trent reznor.


    my animal | Reviewer: alpha
        ------ About the song Right Where It Belongs performed by Nine Inch Nails

    we all have some animal in a cage and it`s noone else than us. we built that cage for him to keep him separated from the other people, cause we don`t want them to know him. we feel ashamed for him cause his the worst of us. tha bad side of us. so we keep him in there, hiding him. sometimes we forget that he exists, when everything works and we`re safe, but then something happens and we realise that we`re actually not what we pretend to be. and we`re afraid to see. we`re scared to look him closely to the eyes to discover that maybe we`re not outside the cage. we can not be while we`re not free from us, while we don`t admit who we are. and the hollowness inside our hearts is right where it belongs. with this empty heart we`re not able to decide what`s real and what`s just a voice in our head speaking. cause we all got some. we can believe in something....but is it just a faith what makes the truth? anyhow...we can`t find the words to explain that cuase they`re something we don`t believe either cause the reflection of them is not in our power. like we all see different meanings in this song :)


    closer | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Closer performed by Nine Inch Nails

    everyone has their own interpretation of what this song means. i think it's pretty damn funny, to be honest. look at the first stanza, and initial the key words. V iolate, D esecrate, P enetrate, C omplicate. rhyming words, yes, but look at the initials. V.D. is P.C. (for those of you too young to understand, Sexually Transmitted Infections/Diseases used to be called Venereal Disease, or V.D.) when i saw that, it made me howl out loud with laughter.
    other than that, look at it as i see it. i see it as a love letter from a serial killer to his latest victim.
    take what you will from this song. trent wrote it so you could enjoy it.
    so enjoy it, stop analyzing it. crank it up and piss off the neighbors one more time.
