Those two albums are considered Trent's release of frustration and anger, but they also have much deeper meanings. His deeper meaning is clearly shown in the song titled "Wish." Yes, "Wish" is the message he wanted to express in these albums!!

The music videos for these album songs are full of destruction and Trent's burning frustraton. However, sometimes negative and cruel images create totally opposite ideas or feelings in people. I believe that Trent included totally negative and destructive images in his videos in order to make people have positive ideas or feelings. >>

Although the songs of these albums have a harder edge than their first album, "Pretty Hate Machine," the melodies from the first album can still be found. Unlike previous albums, Trent keeps shouting in all the songs. Somehow all his words remain inside of me. The way he creates a rhythm is amazing. It can tell us his favorite drum loops.

People often consider that "Happiness in Slavery" represents the image of Nine Inch Nails. Trent said that he was really in that kind of world at that time. However, if we consider about what people are subordinate to, the lines of the song could be very interesting because it can be interpreted as an expression of love. Trent usually expresses love in very unconventional ways. He writes songs with a message of love, but it is often complicated to understand. Love is one of the main issues in his songs. This may tell us that he is searching for love in his life. Maybe. . . I often think that Trent is lonely and thirsty for love.
