Regardless, NiggyTardust! marks the meeting of two visionary minds. Reznor tells me that the album was the ‘њcoolest collaboration I’ve had outside of Nine Inch Nails . . . it gave me a chance to get outside my own head, which can get crowded at times.’ќ It’s obvious he enjoyed the opportunity to work with Williams. Too bad the result was more fun to make than it is to listen to.
