If you like that song Dinan, you should listen to the whole album. It is amazingly creepy and fantastic all at the same time. You can actually feel the darkness of the murder site rapped up into the album.. I would say next to Pink Floyd The Wall and Pink Floyd Animals, Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails is one of the most "Complete" music albums I have ever heard. It is a journey into madness and a great album for driving music.
Here is some info I lifted from Wikipedia:
DOWNWARD SPIRAL BY NINE INCH NAILS:
Most of the album was recorded at Le Pig in Beverly Hills, California, a studio space built by Reznor in the house where Sharon Tate was murdered by members of the Manson Family. Before leaving the house, Trent claimed the infamous 'pig' door, and as of July 2006 the door is still located at the (former) Nothing Studios in New Orleans.
Its final song, "Hurt", was famously covered by Johnny Cash a short while before his death in 2003, and the song is sometimes mistakenly attributed in authorship to Cash. However, one line of the lyrics was altered: 'crown of shit' became 'crown of thorns', possibly to remove the profanity but also in reference to Christ's passion. The altered lyric is also present in the "Clean" version (radio edit).
It is a concept album based around the story of a character losing control of his life and finding himself on a downward spiral resulting from his choices. Its plot follows the character as he tries to rid himself of the trappings of religion and society, using sex and drug abuse as methods of escape. Eventually, this character has to face his internal void. Reznor himself is a sufferer of bipolar disorder and is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict.
