Grade: B
“Hesitation Marks,” the latest album from Nine Inch Nails is in no way a bad album. However, none of the songs on the album break new ground or do anything different from what the band has done in the past. For the most part, the album has the classic industrial/experimental feel Nine Inch Nails is known for. It isn’t surprising at all for the band that blew up industrial music to stay true to it. There are a few tracks with an arena-heavy vibe, like “All Time Low,” “Everything” and “Satellite,” that make a nice addition, but despite the quality of the album, it feels like the band played it safe. While it may not be a bad thing, it would have benefited from straying into something different.
