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.

"This dark, fast-paced novel is a visionary masterpiece. It’s populated by hackers and cyberpunks, Gibson’s creations that have since become fixtures in the electronic matrix. I first read the book in the mid-1990s, when the Internet was beginning to wrap itself around all of us, and I read it with increasing excitement—but not without some difficulty. Gibson doesn’t bother to explain his terms or lead the reader by the hand through the puzzling dislocations of his futuristic landscape. Neuromancer is pulp fiction, but it’s guided by a hip wisdom about a baffling phenomenon that was only beginning to take shape."
