What an experience! Nine Inch Nails, still in the early days of an promising career, but already pretty established in the musical scene with the very well received Pretty Hate Machine strike this time with one of the best concept albums ever released. An album that cannot be judged by analysing each track individually (although the high number of Singles released may disagree with that statement), since by doing that you may miss all the beauty of the detailed downfall of humanity.

Throughout the 16 years I've been listening to metal now, I've listened to over 1,800 albums. The Downward Spiral is the one that has stood out the most and has kept me coming back, discovering something new each time. Read more ›› |

Oh man I love this album. The Fragile is a little better musically, but the use of the concept makes this album special in many ways.

The machine sound effects mixed with the drum beat on 'Reptile' are amazing. Good stuff. 'Piggy' is a lot of fun.

I've listened to over 1,800 albums now and consider metal to be my primary passion in life. Of all these albums, this is my favourite. A masterpiece of the art from the overall concept to its jaw-dropping production, this album stands as one of the greatest pieces of music I've ever had the privilege of listening to and will hold a special place in my collection for many years to come. This album concept analysis is worth reading http://www.4degreez.com/nailz/ninterpretations/downspiral.html

I've been listening to this album last few days, and I'm loving every minute of it. Or maybe the first few minutes are kinda slow to really get going or something, but after that it's straight up 10/10 all the way. The production is amazing, I can't think of any other album I've heard that sounds in any way near like this.
