New York Daily News applauds MSG show

In a praising article penned by New York Daily News Music Critic Jim Farber, the bands' skill and the articulate sound setup were brought together for a powerful performance on May 9. While head Nail Trent Reznor has been fashioning an increasingly self-involved and difficult sound in the studio (having created his hermetically sealed albums almost entirely by himself), in concert he made his dark style rousing, aided by four sadistically skilled musicians. They helped give Reznor's material greater momentum than at any show I've witnessed by him in the band's 10-year history......amid today's sunny pop scene, dominated by toothy teen stars, it was especially refreshing to witness artists of such dark power in their prime.You can follow this link to read the full article, which includes a little TR photo and more laudate authoring.Thanks to Taylor for sending in this news.
