While I admire Trent's work as NIN, I wouldn't call my self a fan, I don't own any NIN albums and I feel that having been around so long, NIN are losing the shock element that made them such a ground breaking act.
How to Destroy Angels on the other Hand is a totally different proposition. I have both releases and I have to say the Chemistry between the two is amazing. I really like the interplay between the two styles of vocals and it is interesting to see Trent showing a more gentle side.
At the same time this new direction has not diminished the intensity of the music. There is an underlying darkness to many of the tracks that leaves me in no doubt that this new project is one to be taken very seriously.
If they ever tour here, I will certainly go and see them.
