THE SLIP

The Slip is, in my opinion at least, is one of the best Nine Inch Nails albums. It combines the best of the 90's era, with the more progressive and conceptual elements from the albums With Teeth and Year Zero.

Trent Reznor combined Industrial metal, Industrial rock, electronic music, and electro - industrial on this record to create a diverse sound, but at the same time, the sound is pretty constant, in a good way. The album doesn't ever get boring, mainly because it balances the softer and heavier parts almost perfectly. For instance, the song Lights in the Sky is one of the lightest and most grim Nine Inch Nails songs. Its heavier counterpart, 1,000,00, is one of the heavier songs in the bands catalogue.

Listen to this after you hear Pretty Hate Machine, The Downward Spiral, and The Fragile. Once you hear The Slip, there's a chance that it will put a smile on your face.
