The record diverges from the style of previous Nine Inch Nails work, notably by the inclusion of jazz instrumentation in the music, including saxophone performances by Reznor. The album is reminiscent to (and influenced by) David Bowie's final studio album Blackstar, with Reznor having collaborated with Bowie in the 1990s as well as citing Bowie as a primary influence. At just over 30 minutes long, the record is Nine Inch Nails' shortest full-length release. The Cold and Black and Infinite North America 2018 Tour was announced alongside its release to promote the album, in addition to the album's sole single, "God Break Down the Door". [source]

Nine Inch Nails: Bad Witch (2018)
EP? LP? You decide. I like it, even with the saxophone :)
Nine Inch Nails: With Teeth (2005)
As with many vinyl releases during the resurgence, early pressings tend to be expensive. If you don't have an original 2005 pressing, it's likely too late, unless you pony up some cash. The second official pressing was dropped in 2019 and Amazon had it for an astounding price.
Nine Inch Nails: Pretty Hate Machine (1989)
Virtually ignored upon its 1989 release, Pretty Hate Machine gradually became a word-of-mouth cult favorite; despite frequent critical bashings, its stature and historical importance only grew in hindsight. [source]I bought the CD version of this when it came out, and that CD is now essentially worthless. I didn't pick up a vinyl copy until much later, and it's a later repressing. Oh well: it sounds good. I really like this record.

Nine Inch Nails: Sin (1990)
In addition to the three version of Sin, originally from Pretty Hate Machine, this 12" single has a version of Queen's Get Down Make Love. It's a solid version of a Queen song that I don't hate.I wonder if Freddy Mercury ever heard this version.
