Well, that wouldn't really be a controversial NIN opinion since Trent just used that line as a tribute to Pere Ubu:
But you are right, "Getting Smaller" is a cool track that deserves some more respect, it's like a NIN's cover of a Pixies song, it was WT's "Everything" (both have been bashed by many fans and this last one sounds like a The Cure's/New Order's cover).
