BEST ALBUM
Hesitation Marks - Nine Inch Nails
LastFM lets you click a little heart to indicate a “loved” song. Since I first listened to this album in May (yeah I as a few years late to the party) every song on it has received a little heart. When I was into NIN in the 1990s Trent Reznor was the “King of Angst”. In the intervening years he’s kicked a cocaine and alcohol habit, beefed up, gotten married and had 4 kids. These days the music still has a dark streak, but it’s less destructive. Seeing as I too have grown up in these intervening years, newer NIN still has the same relevance to me as the older stuff did in my teens. This years Bad Witch LP was great, but for me HM has just the right sounds and lyrics for me to just to be able to listen to it over and over and over.
