>The Fragile [Nothing, 1999]
>After six fucking years, genius-by-acclamation Trent Reznor delivers double-hoohah, every second remixed till it glistens like broken glass on a prison wall. Is the way he takes his petty pain out on the world a little, er, immature for a guy who's pushing 35? Never mind, I'm told--just immerse in the music. So I do. "Dream job: emperor," it says. "More fun than death by injection." B

as usual for Christgau, most of that is meaningless babble that doesn’t really communicate anything. the perception of negativity comes from the flippant tone rather than the actual words.

The Downward Spiral [Interscope, 1994]
musically, Hieronymous Bosch as post-industrial atheist. lyrically, Transformers as kiddy porn ("Eraser", "Hurt") *

I remember when even fucking mailorder distros wrote shit like that to sell the CDs. Glad I'm old enough to have known that level of cringe.
