I would say that in an age (80's-now) where musical
revolution very rarely takes place in the mind of an
artist, but in the minds of several corporate
"musicians" looking for the next pot of gold....Trent
Reznor is a true artist and a major force in opening
the minds of people to the sounds of electronic music.
Trent Reznor has and continues to open more and more
people to the scene, and is doing great things with
his label to promote both electronic music and
artistic freedom to artists.
What NIN album is timeless??
All of them, Nine Inch Nails is a timeless "band"
Trent Reznor is a timeless artist.
I imagine that years from now you'll see him and NIN
in the hall of fame, and you'll see NIN viewed as a
playing a major role in what music will be like in
maybe 10-20 years.
Looking back from now, we see bands like Pink Floyd,
The Doors, Cabaret Voltaire, Skinny Puppy etc....of
coarse this small list doesn't appeal to the general
public, Puppy was an influence to NIN and bands like
Manson, Cabaret was influence to bands like Puppy.
Im basically rambling now....but I would have to say
to sum it up that Trent Reznor has played and is
playing a major role in exploring new and artistic
venues of music, and is doing a great job at bringing
new ears to electronic music....
A true artist hardly concerned with releasing an album
for the purpose of seeing how high it can get on the
charts and how long it will stay.
I would say that The Fragile was a great piece, as far
as artisticness goes.
