After Reznor’s second hiatus from Nine Inch Nails, his sorry-for-the-wait album is electronic, percussive, and highly loop-driven. It’s also relatively quiet and laid-back sounding — par for the 2013 course, after similarly relaxed albums by Nick Cave and David Bowie. For an album featuring contributions from guitar legends like Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac and Adrian Belew of King Crimson (among many, many other bands), it’s nearly guitar-less. The exception is the bizarre power-pop track “Everything,” with its sugary mix of Foo Fighters, Sleigh Bells, and Torche; the song comes out of nowhere and has no place on the record. In many ways, the album feels like the spiritual successor to Year Zero, Reznor’s “laptop” album. But while that album was largely ahead of its time, Hesitation Marks just sounds like Reznor jumping on the back of a pickup truck that’s already carrying Radiohead, the Knife, and nearly every critically acclaimed electronic-indie record that’s arisen since the beginning of his relative silence. In its favor, Hesitation Marks is eclectic, and its standout songs — “Came Back Haunted,” “Satellite,” and “In Two” — are worthy of the NIN legacy. Still Reznor has done better work with his wife, and their band How To Destroy Angels, of late.
