You have to quarantine yourself for a week just to listen to this album before you can decide how much you like it, because it sounds better every time you hear it. It will take even longer to absorb all of Trent?s agenda. This concept album takes place 15 years in the future where humanity is closer to its spiritual, political and economic ruin. Trent said the album began from a noise he heard on his laptop that lead to a daydream about the end of the world. The impending doom of the story comes across almost sarcastic, as if expected.

After several years of sobriety, Trent is more focused on the demise of the world instead of his own demise. His industrial intensity of lyrics, sound and enlightened negativity is still present, but there is something else.

Songs like ?Capital G? (personal favorite of the album) and ?Good Soldier? and ?God Given? are ? are you ready? ? more funk and almost pop influenced, which is refreshing for a long-term NIN fan. But ?Vessel? retains Trent?s sexy rough edges (sigh) and reflects his more grounded and focused mature quest for innovative sounds.
