I love Trent, but this is spot on.
This type of song was done before. This version is better and sounds more like the current incarnation of nin. However it seems more like (imho) a ripoff of this song from '09.

Sounded spot on until the chorus, which was just a bit too major, and not yelly enough.
So itās a copy of āA Copy of Aā.
Hereās a precursor from waaaay back in 1993, when Reznorās NiN was an alternative to, āThe Grunge Songā
by Radio Free Vestibule!
āMandatory shot of old man with his shirt off.ā
Fan since Broken - find nothing to be offended by here.
The ābut itās still awesomeā bit helped.
This song really nails my thoughts about NIN of late. Trent does fantastic instrumentals. Iād love more of those. Maybe another album like Ghosts.
LMAO god I hate nine inch nails
Thatās about as brilliant as Chris Morrisās Pixies Parody āMother Bangerā
Who was that comedian that did that with Elvis songs? It had a line something like, "All of his songs stop (rest) (rest)(rest) (rest) (rest) (rest) ā¦and start again!
Pretty bang on. I liked it!
Thatās not a Trent Reznor song.
This is wonderful. Trent has always been a studio genius and a wonderful musician & composer, but has a terrible voice and the lyrical content stopped being appealing when I was 17.
I want to be offended, but I just canāt. Itās well done, accurate to my ears. But I love NIN so much, that Iām offended. I hate you for this.
Well, donāt be too offended, since this is the description from the SoundCloud page itself:
This is a song I made about the songwriting process of one of my musical heroes Trent Reznor.
This was obviously a labour of love. 
I donāt think itās breathy enough.
Whatās you favorite band?
Iāll just leave this here:
I havenāt been able to get into a NIN album since 1997. It just got tooā¦ āslickā, overproduced and non-original sounding to me. Thereās a few gems here and there beyond The Downward Spiral, but overall itās trash to me. Also, once Trent decided to do the soundtrack for Call of Duty, I pretty much wrote him off as a sellout (in a bad way, to the pigsā¦ and even worse to the war pigs). He got cheesy.
Kind of like comparing Metalicaās Garage Days Revisted to their newer stuff where James H. decided to start doing a lot of cheesy āWhoaā¦ whoasā and the music got all slicked up and overproduced along with it. It got cheesy.
They got old and lost their edge and started to smell like cheese. It happens. For me, it doesnāt really take away from their old, amazing stuff which I still listen to and love:
Sometimes I think Metallica was simply born to do old punk cover songs:
