I'm not going to argue Trent's talent or influence as a musician, I agree with what your saying although he can't alone take credit for this movement - there were a lot of bands doing similar stuff back in the 80's... NIN was one of the best, and most "playable" to be accepted and get radiplay and album sales, listen to Front 242, early Ministry, Nitzerebb, Lords of Acid... even Skinny Puppy had some melodic industrial tunes... honestly, Skinny Puppy is really underrated - if they "sold out" back then and made some more "acceptable" tunes they would be as big if not bigger than NIN... but their just too nuts, the guys image and lyrics project physco (and not the "cool" crazy that mainstream likes... more like an ugly, dirty and creepy insane). Listen to Warlock and Killing Time especially.
I understand your posting your praise of what you think to be a great album. But you have to understand the amount of PVN and PBS broadcasts coming in make it look more lie a marketing attack than anything else.
