Someone at Rolling Stone must really love noise. I've never listened much to Nine Inch Nails, but I do know that I've heard stuff I liked better, mostly because it was more pop heavy in its presentation probably the first album. This album is very experimental and so there are times when I lost interest mostly because it is just what it is noise. It's interesting to hear how he can use the noise to mix with good beats, make heavy metal sounding songs and just about everything else, but I'm pretty sure I'll ever listen to this album again.
