Nine Inch Nails’ EP: Perplexing
Pitchfork looks as “Add Violence” and says: ‘t’s a scary time for Nine Inch Nails. Not that the band or its founder/leader Trent Reznor seems at risk of getting sucked back into the substance abuse, label shenanigans, and self-destructive personal demons that characterized their first turbulent decade of existence. In fact, Add Violence and the matching EP that preceded it, Not the Actual Events, are the first NIN releases to include an official band member other than Reznor, Atticus Ross. The very presence of Reznor’s long-time partner for film-soundtrack work implies a creative stability unprecedented in the group’s history.’
