I went into this album expecting to hear standard fare NIN but what I ended up receiving was so much more. This album reminds me of the same accessibility that With Teeth has but toned down even further at different spots. Also you can hear the optimism in many of his tracks. No longer does he sound like an angry young person needed to vent and spiraling downward (yes pun intended). As I was listening to this album, I feel like he has gone in this direction before with being drenched with a keyboard sound but I can’t recall which album it is exactly. I definitely have to go back through his discog and find out.

Find My Way, Everything and Satellite ended up being the tracks that I would constantly go back to this album to repeat. I ended up listening to the deluxe version so I was treated to 3 remixed tracks which didn’t really end up going over well. Trent’s production skills are top notch and I trust him more than the people that ended up remixing three tracks from this album.
