go.com's music page,
Wall of Sound, gave Nine Inch Nails' opening date a bit of a reaming. Maybe I was too far into the crowd to know otherwise, but crowd reaction was much better than what Laura describes in
this article about the April 12th show. Of course, I'm not sure how to take this review - Wall of Sound's bio on the band has, for quite some time, claims the first release by NIN was called
Industrial Nation, apparently followed up in 1990 by
Pretty Hate Machine. I was a little surprised they didn't include
Impossible Pain with their discography ;)
