"The Hand That Feeds" is good, though I agree with complaints that the last third is borderline atrocious. I'm sure it'll grow on me with time. Judging from "The Line That Blurs," this is an album that will require headphones for the complete experience. Looking forward to it!

I don't know if anyone cares, but I obtained a quality leaked copy yesterday and listened to it completely with headphones today. I was right - you really cannot appreciate Trent Reznor's craftsmanship on this album without a good stereo or CD player. "Only" and "Sunspots" are the two standouts at this point, though none of the tracks are particularly bad (maybe "Love is Not Enough").
