Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral        (11 of 11 found this review helpful)
  December 13, 2004

This album is a natural for multichannel, and I knew that Trent would impress with the MC mix. The only question in my mind was whether the hi-rez could improve the digital nature of the recording.
