Nine Inch Nails – Less Than (Columbia Records)

| Nine Inch Nails - Less Than |
Release Date: Out Now
I really wasn’t sure what to
expect from this latest release from LA super-goths Nine Inch Nails but,
pleasingly, they’re still relevant and still trying new things – Christ, they
were the house band in Twin Peaks the other week. ‘Less Than’ works sonically,
that’s a given, but with the intense and relentless arcade feel of the
accompanying video you really get a sense of the helpless hurtling that this
song is trying to capture. The electro pulses and clenched-teeth vocals show
why bands like Muse and Queens of the Stone Age drew so much on the influence
of Trent Reznor and his assembled hired hands. There’s a triumphant, mosh inducing
chorus and the kind of call-to-arms that we all need in a pretty fucked up
world that seems to be spinning off its axis right now.
