Trent Reznor also has a patchy back catalogue to wade through. There’s no doubting both the quality and the impact of the Nine Inch Nails material, but he dabbles in side projects that taint that reputation. The latest of those is a band named How To Destroy Angels, which includes his erstwhile pal Atticus Rose and his beloved wife, Mariqueen Maandig. The album is very downbeat but, more so, uninspiring and plain dull. Style over substance me thinks, so Bummer Album of the Week it is.
[Rating:2]
