As for the rest, Trent wanted the follow-up to ACSS to be heavy industrial rock. Manson - and Corgan, and the Dust Brothers, and every other party involved - disagreed. For fuck's sake, when I talked to Steve Albini, he though Manson was a poseur and a rip-off, but "the best thhing he ever did was get away from Trent".
NOBODY likes Reznor. And there are reasons why.
