About

Although Nine Inch Nails’ eighth album casts a similar spell as the band’s most famous work—heavy mechanical textures, juxtapositions of warm lyricism and industrial austerity—Trent Reznor’s growth as a songwriter, arranger, and producer is evident in every detail of <i>Hesitation Marks</i>. Tracks like “The Eater of Dreams,” “I Would for You,” and "Find My Way" are rock songs with the complex architectural touch of a masterful composer (fitting, since Reznor won a GRAMMY® for his score to <i>The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo</i>). The album’s huge sonic range is evident in its roster of guests, which includes Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham and King Crimson guitarist Adrian Belew. But the most impressive element of <i>Hesitation Marks</i> is Reznor's mature, confident songwriting, which has adopted a seasoned perspective without losing any of its bite.
