Nine Inch Nails — Hesitation Marks

Nine Inch Nails — Still

8/10 Still is a personal favorite of mine. It was originally packaged with a live album from The Fragile Tour, but Nine Inch Nails, aka Trent Reznor, made the rather wise decision to sell it separately, as well. I can count the number of live albums I’ve purchased on one hand. Live isn’t one of
