Almost perfect,
By "knlitrules2000-or-halo__" (Stillwater, OK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Downward Spiral (Audio CD)
But that doesn't mean I'm gonna give it 4 stars. I like it a lot but Heresy's lyrics and some of its sound ruined the CD. Some songs are a bit suicidal sounding the line from Eraser "Kill me", but isn't that always how Trent Reznor's been? Well, he's letting Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon relive. Just after "Ruiner"'s hardcore bits it gets melodic. This isn't usually what happens in all of his songs. The Downward Spiral (song, not album) sometimes gets stuck in my head as an eternity. Well, if you've bought Broken and loved it it's probably because it was real Industrial Rock and had a Pink Floyd influence, and the only NIN album with no piano in it. That doesn't mean this is bad, songs like the instrumental A Warm Place would be ridiculous to describe as "angry". It sounds like you're in a sad mood, because you just get through hearing the anti-gangster rap loudness on "Big Man With A Gun". If you're adding you're collection of NIN, just go right ahead. Close behind The Fragile, I still love this one.

The masterpiece reborn,
By Max (Toronto, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Downward Spiral (SACD Hybrid) (Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)
This re-release of TDS is like listening to the album again for the first time. The excess of this type of thing might lead you to believe it's just a marketing gimmick, but that is simply not the case here. Of course, if anyone could perfect something that was already perfected, it's Trent Reznor. First of all, the 13-track bonus disc is reason enough to buy this deluxe edition for any NIN fan since it has three previously unreleased demos. That might sound like peanuts to fans of any other band, but NIN fans know that on the rare occasion you get to hear something you've never heard before from Mr. Reznor, you cherish it. Also contained within are a handful of the best remixes from the singles and the "Further Down The Spiral" versions which are nice to have on one disc. Then you have the Joy Division cover "Dead Souls" and "Burn" from The Crow and the Natural Born Killers soundtracks, respectively. Last but not least is the Soft Cell cover, "Memorabilia" which is an excellent track and it sounds fantastic here. Getting on to the good stuff, the album itself is a whole new listening experience. Everything feels more alive, more crisp, more precise than it did before. When you've listened to The Downward Spiral as much as the average NIN fan does, you start to pick up on things you never noticed the first 50 times you heard the song. Well that is what the deluxe edition feels like. Hearing new things all over again, letting your senses soak up the layers upon layers of... well, noise. There was a lot of it to begin with, and here it just becomes even more evident, and beautiful. You can never truly appreciate the artestry and brilliance put into the masterpieces which are Nine Inch Nails albums, until you hear them multiple times. That said, we are now able to let it happen all over again. Reznor couldn't have marked the 10-year anniversary of The Downward Spiral any better, and it is definitely a must have for any Nine Inch Nails fan, or someone who just never owned the album in the first place. It sounds great even if you don't own an SACD player or have 5.1 surround sound. Highly recommended.

warped after shipping,
By
This review is from: The Downward Spiral (Vinyl) (LP Record)
I ordered The Downward Spiral from Amazon and was happy at how fast it was shipped, the only problem was that the LP was warped when we received it. A friend of ours has also purchased LPs from Amazon and they were warped as well. We have since ordered two more and are waiting for their arrival to see what condition they will be in. Amazon ships with bubble inserts - when we opened our package there was one on top of the LP and one under it leaving the record at an angle, and I think that is what may be causing the LPs to be mishapen... they should be mailed flat. Perhaps Amazon should rethink their shipping methods when LPs are concerned?The Downward Spiral still plays well, but a warped record can cause undue stress on the stylus and can effect the audio quality. I love this album, so it's a shame that we can't play it with 100% quality.
