In Conversation: Trent Reznor
>Wouldn’t a music obsessive like yourself have loved having the same choices that listeners have now?
Again, I’m not saying mine was a better era, but a lot of the music I ended up really loving was because I spent nine bucks on an album and that meant I had to listen to it and figure it out.<p>This is one of the biggest changes for me. As a kid when I was a kid getting an album was RARE. I inherited a ton of cassettes and 8-tracks from my dad. And I listened and listened and listened until I'd heard and knew every minute detail of every track.<p>These days it's rare for me to give an album more than a couple listens unless it's something that REALLY stands out.
