Nine Inch Nails/Explosions in the Sky

Ever since he got clean and sober a couple of years ago, Nine Inch Nails singer Trent Reznor has returned to touring and recording with renewed focus. NIN's latest album, Hesitation Marks, isn't as outwardly angry as early NIN material but it's a well-crafted, ambitious effort that still enables Reznor, a former Clevelander, to work out his aggression. "Copy of a..." features sputtering electronic beats and layers upon layers of vocals. The new incarnation of the band played only a few festival shows over the summer but the band launched this arena tour at the end of September so it should be plenty warmed up by the time of this show at Wolstein Center.
