Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Nine Inch Nails was born from the late night studio experiments of Trent Reznor, who rocketed to stardom in the early nineties with this sonically experimental and lyrically provocative album. The boys discuss Trent's rural Pennsylvania beginnings, early ProTools workflows, and the importance of twisting up samples so as to be unrecognizable.
