God, I can't finish the harangue. Any more than I could really finish listening to the CD. *sigh* At least he made the live album, and Quiet. I think poor Trent's hit burnout.

The moment I had to stop was listening to his track 'Only', which is done in that sorta monologue style. Pretty meh... but suddenly I was reminded of 'Albuquerque'. The cognitive dissonance generated by the thought of Trent Reznor speaking the lyrical phrase 'flock of seagulls haircut' finished me off.
Ah, well. Maybe in another five years, he'll make something instrumental and beautiful, like Quiet, or some of his work on Fragile.
We'll see.
