the Kronos Quartet manage to convey much of Reznor's Year Zero vision (without a trace of his scraping vocals) with equal parts dissonance and elegance on their rework of "Another Version of the Truth".I agree wholeheartedly... except that the aforementioned piece contains no vocals and the Kronos Quartet aren't exactly known for their vocal skills.
The rest of the article is pretty spot on, including comments about the album's best remix, Fennesz's "In This Twilight". However, this article suffers at the hands of the magazine's pervasive arbitrary rating system, seemingly designed to keep unfavourables in check, and American Apparel on the backs of the kids who don't even read the reviews.
