"It was awesome. I heard 'Slow and Low' way before I had ever seen them - before they had images to them; before I knew they were white guys. It didn’t matter, because they had an in depth understanding and a true genuine love for hip-hop. It was apparent. I had a friend Mark, who had a Hyundai car. His system was so good in that car, and that's all he used to play. When I found out they were white, I loved it even more, because it turned me onto different types of music, like the Led Zeppelin sample on 'Rhyming & Stealin'."

Rolling Stone's 453rd greatest album of all time (2020)
While this album definitely has some of NIN's best songs (Head Like a Hole, Terrible Lie), the rest of the album is a little sub-par, certainly compared to The Downward Spiral and The Fragile which are much more consistent. I was slightly amused that a lot of the electronic or sampled drum beats on some songs sounded identical to those used in early hip-hop, despite the two genres being poles apart at the time. A good listen but it is all downhill after an amazing start.
