Album Review: Nine Inch Nails - Hesitation Marks
Sure, the fingerprints of Atticus Ross are all over this record, but it’s yet another dark Reznor opus. And by the end of the ordeal you’ll be begging him for more.

Peace, Love And Understanding
"We were like a mess at the beginning because we were so confused and didn’t know what to do, like what should we sound like."

Sharp Dressed Men
"On our third album a lot of the songs did come from a riff or a groove, but I don’t think we were all completely satisfied with [those] songs, so this time around we worked backwards and we started everything with an idea."

The Holiday Is Over
"The album pushed us and demanded a lot of us and forced us to try new things and go out of our comfort zone."

Electric Feel
"We’re so surprised on how Is This How You Feel? has been received by people."

"I don’t know if [our fans] would care either way, but for us as a band, this isn’t our job, this is still our passion."

"There wasn’t really a specific thing that we wanted to achieve [with Holy Fire], so that in itself is quite a pleasure, going into writing and recording because you have that clean slate again – we really enjoyed writing it."

Continuing The Chase
"It’s definitely got Phazes’ signature sound. The drums knock from start to finish and it’s really just a very high standard of production. He’s done a number on it, it’s pretty incredible – some of his best work.
