    Finer minds than mine may find these pieces worthy of continuous attention. I say they're background music, there waiting when your mind drifts speakerward, just distracting enough to change up your mood in a useful way.

    Without Reznor's shouting, they're more hypnotic, even, at times, soothing. [June 2008, p.98]

    At 36 tracks, Ghosts is as impressively ambitious as it is uneven and stunted.

    Its shit. clearly recorded in no time, little effort for origianlity or progression, in danger of sounding like his own cliche. The vocals on year zero were whispered...then none at all on ghosts. RUBBISH. I regret paying $5 for this, AND given how important it is that people do actually pay for music from NIN in future I'm less inclined to WANT TO next time round. I'm sure I heard a sample from Downward Spiral. You can't regurgitate that!! Jesus. Move on and up trent not down and across. NEXT!… Expand
