Shareeb4Prez's definitions
A musical pioneer and visionary, and likely the most technologically innovative artist to date.
As leader (singer/songwriter) of Nine Inch Nails, Reznor not only garnered success early in his career, but managed to stay ahead of the curve as decades passed. Where others in the past have neither understood nor embraced technology (i.e. Metallica's Lars Ulrich suing Napster in 2000), Reznor uses it to his advantage at any ample opportunity.
Today, he writes, records, produces and markets his music on his terms. This process always involves a computer, the Internet or both.
His music has always and continues to shine light on the ugly aspects of human existence. Common themes are broken love, betrayal, lost faith and drug addiction.
His most prolific work to date is "Year Zero," a concept album taking place 15 years in the future, where a citizen in the dystopic nightmare finds solace in various heartwarming and destructive human characteristics. Reznor said rap drum beats from classic hip hop artists inspired his compositions on this album, a new direction for Reznor and mainstream rock (quite possibly a new form of "rap rock," or more appropriately titled "rock rap").
