Nine inch nails downward spiral album plus#
This one's a keeper-it is probably Trent Reznor's career non plus ultra. Review by vonwegen Aug(7 of 7 found this review helpful) Any NIN fan would enjoy it for the outtakes, and the casual fan would probably find 3 or 4 songs to enjoy. I haven't compared the sacd stereo layer with the cd stereo layer, so I can't comment on sound quality. It's not the kind of album one listens to every day or for casual listening, but it's an album that still astounds me 10 years after it was first released with its range of sounds, tortured lyrics, and thematic cohesion. Overall, I'm very happy to listen to this in hi-rez surround.įor those of you not familiar with the album, it's really a landmark album - a concept rock/electronica album, kind of gen x's The Wall or Tommy. self destruct" - the digital distortion of the backing vocals is so transparent its just not convincing anymore. One song that I think suffers from hi-rez surround is "mr. Generally though, the rears and the center channel are used for effects, and on a few occasions vocals. Other songs that benefit from the 5.1 treatment are "heresy," "closer," and "hurt." I'd get more specific, but I don't want to spoil it. Overall, it gives the song a whole different feel, much more sinuous. As one of the the reviewers from points out, doubters need only listen to the bass drum on "piggy" - what do you know? it's actually a real drum! The bass line on that song is also much more natural. The only question in my mind was whether the hi-rez could improve the digital nature of the recording. This album is a natural for multichannel, and I knew that Trent would impress with the MC mix.
