Trent Reznor...what a character. He must be crazy...oh, he must have lost his touch...oh, no, maybe, just maybe, he put this song on the album for a reason. Maybe he made the whole Halo 18 album...oh what is it called?...thats right, The Hand That Feeds, for a reason. Its the first single off of WITH TEETH, thats right, for a reason. If you guys dont like it...dont buy the album. It is that simple.

I will admit, I have heard this song...I will admit that it kinda took me off guard when I first heard it. Someone stated above that(Im paraphrasing) this song is simple. Everything rhymes with "bee" or something of that nature. Who cares. He got his point across. He is, afterall, finding himself through his music, and finding oneself is getting down to the most simple questions. Why cant inspiration be simple as well?

Ive listened to pretty much anything that Trent has offered us, if I find a song that strikes me as having some personal relation to my life...I find it fascinating. Some I have came across and had no interest in when I first heard them. On a second listen, perhaps months or even years down the road, I found a place for them in my life, into my frame of mind. That is what music is, isnt it...an expression? Someone handing something to you and saying "here you go, do what you want with it". Trent never alludes to us what his music is about, probably never will. He expects us to find our own meaning. Do you think he really cares that you dont like his music? There are obviously alot of people that do like it considering the response on this forum. Well maybe not this song in particular. But in time I am sure The Hand That Feeds will be better reguarded, you know, when it is actually released.

Ive babbled on long enough.

If you dont like it then dont listen to it.

Oh, by the way...I hate that painting you did in your high school art class. It really sucks. Just thought you should know since we are on a critics forum...oh wait, nevermind, were not.

P.S. Frank, if you are going to insult, for trents sake at least be orignal. dumbass.
