I don't mind Atticus, Trent made some great music with him. I don't think Trent ever became bad as a musician, ever, he is just uninispired now and he has absolutely nothing left to say, he still had plenty to say in 2000s, he was alive and full of things to say, the music was still great and had its own atittude.
When Hesitation Marks came out though, the dude had nothing to express, that's when he started looking into the past, NIN became far more referential than ever before because Trent can't look forward anymore because there's nothing there.
He is losing more and more interest in NIN, The Trilogy not being a groundbreaking smash must have really did him in, these new vocal tracks for Tron:Ares are easily the worst ones he ever wrote, I have no idea how anyone can like them, some of the most boring melodies he ever wrote. It's so blatantly lazy.
