Nine Inch Nails
Those who hunger for throbbing bombast in all aspects of contemporary life will flock to this not incredibly revealing portrait of the man, the myth, the arrested adolescent behind the band Nine Inch Nails--Trent Reznor. ReznorisNine Inch Nails and vice versa, just as the Mothers of Invention were Frank Zappa and whomever he showed up with on a given night. Not exactly darlings of critics (or parents), Nine Inch Nails is probably the most successful industrial music act extant. Huxley gives Reznor's life and attitude (which is everything, you know) full airing in this by-the-numbers bio. Much of the narrative is taken up with Reznor's well-cultivated inability to "fit into anything." Ah, angst--what would rock 'n' roll be without it? Replete with quotations fromThrashermagazine and other chronicles of the present and recent cutting edge, this little book is sure to thrill Reznor's legion of fans.Mike Tribby
