One of the greatest albums I have ever heard, I bought this album when I was eleven years old, and it changed my life.

It sounds like you don't have the slipcover but just the j-card sleeve.

Fantastic pressing. I mean, aside from the fact the intro to Reptile was cut off, it was perfect. It was unavoidable, though; Eraser kinda fades into Reptile to begin with.

I don't have the words to describe how powerful or influential this album is for me. Even if you aren't a NIN fan, give it a listen because it is moving to say the least.
If you still aren't sure about this album, have a look at the lyric meanings.
IMO, This was NIN's best album by a country mile.

It's worth noting that the track lengths of 'Reptile' and 'The Downward spiral' on CD 1 are different to that of the original 1994 release.

Whether you are the owner of the original release or a newbie looking for alittle sonic mayhem in your ear, this is a must have for fans of Nine Inch Nails or just audiophiles out on the hunt for something that sounds out of this world. The packaging is excellently put together, the additional photography is awe inspiring and the remastered album is an aural treat, offering a depth and richness of sound that you suddenly realise isn't on the original release of this amazing album. The second disc is a must have for the hardcore fan and probably not as essential for someone just getting into Nine Inch Nails, but once you get to appreciate the power of The Downward Spiral, you'll be glad that 2nd disc is their to help you dig alittle further down that Nine Inch Nails spiral.

Of the three copies of this album I have, this particular Catalog number in my collection has PJ Harvey's "Rid of Me" on Side A, although all print on the album and sleeve are correct for "The Downward Spiral".

This album is what started my obsession with music. I was so blown away, that I rushed to the store to buy all of the singles, albums and remix albums. It took me a while to adjust to other types of music, because the world of NIN is hard to leave once imprisoned inside of it. Most of the other music of the time seemed uninteresting, since this was very exotic and dense. This started my craze of audio production, which took me to college and from there to two degrees. This is required listening in the field of audio producers. It is considered one of the best engineered albums of all time, right next to Sgt Peppers and Dark Side of the Moon. A great collection of songs. Second only to The Fragile. 5/5
