4.5 superb | joplinpicasso | August 27th 13 | Really a 4.2, and you shouldn't trust my NIN ratings anyway. That's because Trent Reznor is an artist who
consistently puts out music relevant to his true headspace at any given time, so I revere him and his work
religiously for that. With that said, I'm glad his headspace produced his most emotionally gripping music in
nearly a decade. Not too uplifting, not too melancholy. Funky, sexy, sonically aggressive, vocally and lyrically
dynamic, extremely thoughtful.

4.5 superb | Sapient. | August 26th 13 | reminds me of a combination of Pretty Hate Machine and The Fragile, but recorded for modern times. I'm really liking this

3.6 great | Xenophanes EMERITUS | August 27th 13 | A super hot wife, two successful musical projects, and an Oscar later, it's nice to see Trent Reznor no longer acting pissed off.

5.0 classic | heinzsauce | August 27th 13 | An excellent album, a massive return to form for Trent. Clearly the best album since The Fragile. All Time Low, Various Methods of Escape, In Two and I Would For You are all clear standout NIN tracks, not just in this album, but in the whole catalogue. I have never grooved so hard when listening to All Time Low, and the sing along hooks of I Would for You will be memorable for years to come. The production on this album is next level, and the experimentation with new instruments and writing techniques is clearly present. An absolute classic album, and one of the best in the NIN catalogue.

3.0 good | Acanthus | August 28th 13 | Hesitation Marks is a prime candidate for playing on fans nostalgia and excitement; after all NIN hasn't done anything in how long??? If you manage to look past this you find an interesting album that somehow manages to utilize different genre's and styles but still remain bland and forgettable at the same time. The range of styles present throughout the album are a refreshing change but the tracks often fail to distinguish themselves past that, making for a lengthy listen that lacks replayability. Lyrically it's clear that Trent is in a happier place, and while I'm sure we're all happy for the man his angst is what many longtime fans have come to know and love; without it he comes across with a seemingly lessoned passion, making it harder to relate on that basic level present on his more famous works. It's nice to have Reznor and Co. back but Hesitation Marks simply can't compare to the groups glory days, and anyone who says otherwise really isn't looking closely enough.

3.0 good | TecumsehGargoyle | August 28th 13 | Sounds more like a sequel to Welcome Oblivion by HTDA. Does not sound like NIN.

3.0 good | Gavwah | August 27th 13 | Anyone notice that the melody from 'Find my Way' is the same as 'Somewhat Damaged'? Or that the choruses from 'Came Back Haunted' and 'Disappointed' are near identical but with different lyrics? Second half sounds like Welcome Oblivion B-Sides, which is actually the kindest thing that can be said about this album. Why does every track run 5 minutes plus??

4.0 excellent | Dodenakker | August 28th 13 | A very solid NIN release, and a much needed throwback to the more electronic sound we've heard on The Downward Spiral and PHM. The only song I really dislike is Everything. It's completely misplaced on this album, should've been on The Slip.

0.0 | thelamestallion | November 22nd 18 | The album which made my winter 2014-2015. I was a pretty obscure, lost-in-myself mess, exactly like this album is. And probably this was the first mostly electronic album I ever listened in my life. What I like about it now, in retrospect, disregarding the popular opinion about it, is its restrained melancholy, amazing atmosphere that just sinks you and sucks you dry with its repetition, with its dark and straight lyrics, with Trent's self-awarely raw (or sincerely bad) voice. Note: to experience it you only have to remove "Everything" from a tracklist, the track that completely ruins this mood. It's just a bunch of cool, atmospheric and modestly-emotional electronic jams, and I don't care how much it lives up to NIN's past catalogue.

4.0 excellent | CrazyFool84 | January 24th 14 | Trent Reznor's most complete and entertaining release in probably over a decade, parts of Hesitation Marks harken back to the band's hayday's of the 90s. This album seems to cover all the ends of the spectrum for NIN fans, including influences from throughout their discography.
Bump |
3.5 great | championofthesun | November 1st 13 | In terms of his recent output, I'd say it's better than anything by HTDA, Ghosts and The Slip. Not as good as Year Zero though. Standout tracks were 'Came Back Haunted', 'Find My Way', 'Various Methods of Escape', 'Running' and 'In Two'
Bump |
3.5 great | Greeenyy | September 26th 13 | This album seems to hold back. The tracks I would For you and In Two are very Fragile-esque, a lot layered and soulful than the rest of the album. It's good, but I think we've seen Trent's best works.

4.5 superb | Trez | September 5th 13 | I'm old school. Waited to but the CD. As a long time fan I'll admit that I was a bit nervous heading into this. Some of what I had heard made me wonder if NIN wasn't going to sound more like HTDA. But having now listened to this a few times on a decent quality stereo.... as oppose to computer speakers, I can say that Hesitation Marks is absolutely brilliant. Soooo many good songs on this release. I'm blown away by Satellite and In two. In fact it's probably easiest for me to talk about the Songs I like the least on this CD (Running, and I would for you) since I think the rest of them are top notch. rHas NIN changed? Absolutely. But not in the way you might think. Look no further than the song titles for evidence this is still NIN. All Time Low, Disappointed, Came back Haunted, does this sound like happy go lucky music to you? The difference isn't in the themes, it's in the aggression. Trent is pushing 50 and to get fucked up and destroy equipment on stage wouldn't be sincere anymore. It would be an act. And I appreciate The fact that Reznor respects us enough not to put us through that. rTrent is still dealing with all the same issues, he's just doing it from a different place. Instead of feeding it he's fighting it. And if you are long time NIN listener....hopefully you are too.

2.5 average | Underflow | August 27th 13 | Reznor's latest offering evokes little throughout its unwieldy run-time. As bland as most of the album is, a handful of standout tracks, especially the irresistibly funky "All Time Low," save the record from being an utter disaster.
