The new tracks sound.... well they sound "accessable". I dont know if Trent is intentionally dumbing down his work (I find that unlikely) or if he just felt like it was time for some simple, neat & tidy tracks, but I do agree with Halx - it doesnt hold a candle to the previous records. Doesn't even hold a dying ember, actually. Stylistically, it's a throwback to Pretty Hate Machine (complete with decisively average lyrics).
Pretty Hate Machine still kicked ass tho, and this record will too. It just won't be as intricately detailled as The Downward Spiral, or The Fragile.
And for the record, Leaving Hope is still the most beautiful song ever.
