I’ve always had a pretty strong dislike of the music of Nine Inch Nails, but lately I’m starting to wonder if it’s just Trent Treznor’s singing I don’t like, as I seem to enjoy covers of their stuff by other singers.
First there was the Johnny Cash version of Hurt, but of course everyone loves that, and it’s quite different from the original. But now we’ve also got this take on The Hand That Feeds by Monowhales, and honestly it’s not that different from the original aside from the fact it’s Sally Shaar singing. And I really like it.
I tend to agree. I never really had much time for NIN but as time goes on I have to recognize Trent Reznor is a pretty good songwriter.
