Thinking is hard. Rushing to judgment is easy.
We all leapt to the conclusion Roza was being earnest, which makes this much funnier in light of Pete's post... [EDIT because this is on the next page now and I hate it when things make you go back a page to look up the context; the observation being that the Twitterer in question regularly says that sort of thing tongue in cheek.]

This song never existed, and yet I can hear it...

Doesn't sound like a Trent Reznor song.... the mix is too even. I like the idea of NIN but it is completely unlistenable, the mix makes a lot of things too quiet to hear unless you are in a silent room and wearing headphones.
What makes this interesting/curious is that it gets worse as time goes on (Pretty Hate Machine is good, Downward Spiral has its difficult moments, Year Zero is mostly unlistenable), but Trent apparently has some pretty severe tinnitus and other hearing loss, and you'd think he would not mix that way.
Now this, on the other hand...
Steve Terreberry is a brilliant musicologist and Anthony Vincent is an uncanny style mimic. You can skip forward to about 6:10ish for the end result.

If that's the way you think about music, then the loudness wars are over and you've lost.
NIN brought back dynamics to pop music and it's wonderful.
One of the funniest things I saw on FB before I left it was: "How to reduce your FB friends list". The answer was to sort them by their like of Nickleback and delete those that do. I was in tears.

I only listen to music when working or driving. I appreciate the art that Trent does, but I can't enjoy it because of background noise.
What is maddening, however, is that I have been listening to YT Music while driving, NIN comes up a few times. The streaming mix is different than the album mixes. Imagine NIN with the guitars washed out and the drums almost completely absent.

Well, if we're going to anthropomorphize...
I don't have a caption for this one. Suggestions welcome.

We went to the Milwaukee Zoo and saw this and made a meme that immediately went out to the family.
My only regret is not blaring Barry White off my phone's playlist.

Once you're over 30, excessive dynamic range is annoying in both music and movies.
