Re-discovering that "Hesitation Marks" is the one and only Nine Inch Nails album that Tidal doesn't have¹ and cracking up all over over again

"Oh, you didn't want *that* one"

Anyway this is my periodic reminder to you that if you used to be into NIN but fell off after "with teeth"/"year zero":

You really, *really* want to locate the "Not the Actual Events" / "Add Violence" / "Bad Witch" 2016-2018 EP trio, and just listen to all three in one go as if it's a 3-disc album (I have them set up as one playlist called "Not Violent Witch").

This run of music was *incredible*, career high, and it's deeply haunted by Reznor's personal friendships with Davids Lynch and Bowie
