I for one am glad Mr. Reznor has again found his teeth, the Fragile was a bit precious and relatively hookless imho.

Only is a definite return to the PHM era but with much better lyrics, how he makes that timing work, much less danceable, is beyond me.

The last track Right where it belongs is such a tender fuck you to all the moms and squares who "just like Hurt." The lyrics are a new frontier of bleakness, the music beautiful. Candy-coated cyanide. Somehow the crowd roar that fades in is distinctly inorganic, just another type of distortion.

Every NIN fan has their favorite previous album. I'm glad he's not trying to recreate just one sound from his past. Might backfire and alienate everyone, but I suspect this album will be better received than the Fragile.
