Add Violence

In this episode, your hosts explore the second EP in Nine Inch Nails’ planned trilogy, Add Violence. We take a look at the thematic elements and how any of this could fit into a re-interpretation of The Matrix films. Of course, Eric pours over the lyrics as if they were scrolls from the Ancient Ones, Steve does a dance for us in studio, and Marc gets dust in his eyes at one point. We even manage to get in some U2 and Todd Rundgren talk as well. Join us next week as we close this whole song by song thing out with Bad Witch.
