The Downward Spiral was produced by Trent Reznor and Flood, and fused industrial, techno, heavy metal, while taking influence from the space and texture of late 70's rock epics such as Bowie's Low and Pink Floyd's The Wall. The result is dark, abrasive, and powerful and would prove to be a huge success for NIN (despite media controversy over objectionable content). Includes the hits "Closer," "Hurt," and "Piggy," as well as "March Of The Pigs," "Ruiner," and more.
