You probably don’t need me to tell you this, but you should really go see Nine Inch Nails live. Earlier this year, Trent Reznor’s long-running band headed out on their first proper tour in a few years, and it was fucking incredible. I saw the show in Baltimore, and that shit blew my wig back. Reznor and his stripped-down band have enlisted the best sound and light people that you could possibly imagine, and they have constructed a spectacle that allows them to dig into the nooks and crannies of NIN history and to play around with iconic tracks while still bringing the full-force anthems that launched a million high-school image reinventions. Last month, NIN finished their tour in Los Angeles and released their Tron: Ares soundtrack. If you missed the tour, you now have another chance. They’re bringing it back next year.
