That’s how Reznor pushed through from the contrived highs of Pretty Hate Machine to the true extremes of 1992’s Broken and 1994’s Downward Spiral, as well as a wealth of evocative ambient music, and how through the 1990s and beyond this profoundly driven nerd on the tools became a refitter and creative resuscitator for lost old stars including David Bowie and Gary Numan.
And then there’s the Reznor who, with Atticus Ross, made movie scores matter again. 3/4

From the swelling, intrusive schmaltz of conventional movie music, we suddenly had the psycho-physiological precision of tracks like “In Motion,” integral as it is to David Fincher’s The Social Network. Reznor has limits, but he is a conduit for forces which don’t." 4/4
