About this listen

In this episode, we plunge headfirst into the raw, chaotic beauty of Nine Inch Nails’ industrial rock masterpiece, The Downward Spiral. Released in 1994, this album redefined the boundaries of alternative music with its abrasive soundscapes, haunting lyrics, and unflinching exploration of self-destruction, addiction, and identity.

Join us as we break down the music & lyrics of tracks like "Closer," "Hurt," and "March of the Pigs," explore the dark genius of Trent Reznor’s production, and reflect on the album’s legacy in shaping the sound and spirit of '90s counterculture.

Whether you're a long-time fan or a curious newcomer, this is a journey through noise, emotion, and catharsis you won’t want to miss.
