His new album sounds somewhat like NIN. Then again, I think some of Trent Reznor's albums belong here too.

Very inventive; no doubt about that. I'd agree with him being called "art rock", but not in a prog sense - although, to be honest, I never really associate the term art rock with prog anyway

I agree with that and think that because of that, his work as a solo artist refers to art rock... It is way much different than Phil Collins solo project and don't think it compares to it.
Now, if you are wondering weather Phil Collins' solo career could be prog, then I would said hell noooo... 
Just the fact that Gabriel's career as a solo artist has so many influences and styles (not just one), I would consider him as progressive... Besides, did you know that Bobby Fripp used to play on three consecutive albums since 1977...???
I didn't know that!
