Recommendations: Hesitation Marks by NIN
🕑 Added 2024-01-29 17:56:12 +0000 UTCI've mentioned Hesitation Marks quite a few times in the past, but due to licensing troubles, the Album actually hasn't been on many streaming services in the last couple years, and as a result, it'd been a hot minute since I'd listen to it start to finish...
Coming from The Downward Spiral, Fragile, and With Teeth, I was one of those people who wrote off this album's minimalist synth-based atmospheric tone, but with each passing year, I steadily grew to love this album, and the latest repeat is no different.
It's no coincidence I think that an album about retrospect gets better with age.
Trent's retrospect on the addictions and self-abuse that resulted in The Downward Spiral, allow him to be honest, funky, combative, happy, wanting, and content, the feelings that make Hesitation Marks so compelling.
