For NIN's 2nd full-length album, this one didn't hold up for me. I only really enjoyed "March of the Pigs", and "Closer". As 1 viewer stated in the headline of his review, it's an audio suicide note. Trent was going through a terrible time during this recording and it certainly shows not only in this one, but also on "Further Down the Spiral". When I was younger I used to love this album. Recently I stuck the cd in my stereo and ended up turning it off after a few songs. Not my favorite anymore. Sorry.
