In the two days since NIN delivered unto us yet another album — this one free to download, and with singing! — we’ve reconnected with Trent Reznor, dirty pop-song writer. The ambient murmurs here are just downtime from the driving keyboard, heavy beats, and of course Reznor’s weirdly sultry vocals — all the awesomeness, in other words. When our man pants “once I start, I can not stop myself,” we can only assume it’s a reference to his new musical binge.
