Nine Inch Nails

Europe 2017 press.
The one where it all started. Cold synths, pop hooks and industrial bite all tangled together in a way that sounded completely new at the time and honestly still does. It’s angry, catchy and weirdly vulnerable, full of songs that get stuck in your head while quietly ruining your mood. Less brutal than what came later but just as sharp. An absolute blueprint record. Class. FFO Depeche Mode darker era, Ministry early crossover years, Cabaret Voltaire pop leaning cuts, Gary Numan, synth driven industrial with hooks
