| 2001 - MCA
 |
"Her
voice is fine, her songs are average, and her arrangements tend toward
the contrived and the uncreative." |
|
| 1996
- Sire  |
"The
unfortunate thing about Nancy Boy was that they had more than just
a little promise. But in the wake of the dying grunge movement, the
band just seemed too odd for many listeners who wanted nothing more
than a straight-ahead rock band or mindless pop." |
|
| 1998
- Merge |
"The
music here is brilliant, the songs thick and obtuse yet amazingly
comfortable. Mangum makes no bones…he’s an artist first
and seems intent on fulfilling his own desires more so than the expectations
of critics or even fans." |
|
| 1996 - Merge |
"here
is no question that the music is unique, but it is also inviting and
intelligent..." |
|
| 1996 - Gee
Street  |
"It is
an initially random and finally coherent kaleidoscope of words and
images that make these songs, rhymes, and this album flow perfectly." |
|
| 1995
- Qwest |
"This
album is a nice ode to things that were. To songs that were popular,
to a band that was appreciated, and to synthesizers." |
|
2005 - Rhino |
"It
is the kind of disc you ban pop into the player and enjoy from
start to finish—with or without the television turned on.
Of course, turning on the TV will reveal a world of video imagery
that would otherwise go relatively unexplored." |
|
| 2002
- Nothing
|
"The
album is both loud and soft, acoustic and electronic and one of the
best examples of live music done right I’ve ever heard." |
|
| 1992
- Nothing |
"It’s
intense, heavy, grinding, and pained. Broken ranks among the most
perfect of Reznor’s works with each track improving on the ideas
and movements of the last." |
|
| 1994
- Nothing |
"Reznor
has an amazing imagination and knack at assembling truly creative
and free flowing songs." |
|
| 1989 - TVT/Nothing
|
"My suggestion
is to buy Pretty Hate Machine and Head Like a Hole and call it good,
unless of course it is your mission to own ever last piece of NIN
music ever officially sanctioned and released." |
|
| 1995 - Nothing
|
"Further
Down The Spiral is for people already well acquainted with Reznor’s
work." |
|
| 1989
- TVT
|
"The
remixes are great (as usual), and Trent Reznor proves himself early
on in his career." |
|
| 1997
- Nothing
|
"...the
noise and sounds and instrumentation aren't as densely packed as other
nin tracks." |
|
| 1989 - TVT
|
"...the
sheer perfection of more than half of the album makes for an important
and necessary listening experience." |
|
| 1989 - TVT 
|
"Sin
is by no means a dance track nor should it have been treated as such
by dastardly club duo Adrian Sherwood and Keith LeBlanc." |
|
| 2000
- Scarab
|
"...what
separates this alternative act from most of the others is the fact
that they really are good and some of their songs could be played
easily on alternative rock stations nationwide. The songs are full
of hooks and honestly wry lyrics." |
|
| 1993 - DGC
|
"Cobain
seems to have understood that the Seattle music scene was on the way
out. That ironically the popularization of “grunge” killed
the popularity of the subgenre." |
|
| 2002 - DGC
|
"it is
by no means fine for old fans (like myself) who expect something more
out of such a seriously hyped collection. My main suggestion would
be to not get Nirvana. It’s not worth the money; it’s
not worth the time." |
|
| 1994
- DGC
|
"The
album is much more than just a genre. It is instead an exercise in
creativity and in emotion that breaks down walls and bridges gaps." |
|
| 1995
- Interscope
|
"I personally
get no gratification out of listening to her whine about her old relationship
and ex-boyfriend, but this sophomoric weaving of emotion into otherwise
banal songs is a trademark of pop in the mid-1990’s—and
it sold millions of copies of this album and so many others." |
|
| 1998
- Work
|
"Nova’s
music is safe and comfortable and bland despite the fact that she
wields a lovely, rich vocal talent." |
|
| 2001
- V2 |
"Some
fans were driven away by the somewhat risky pop sound. Others were
drawn by the album’s overall accessibility. I, on the other hand,
find myself annoyed by the album’s triteness". |
|
| 2001 - A1s |
"...he
isn’t held back by the usual constrains imposed by the music
industry." |
