...complain that record labels wanted too many records too quickly, thus stifling the creative process. Ironically, this is something that Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor grappled with during his tenure at TVT years ago. Now labels can’t release records, period, even if those records boast more creativity in a single song than the entire top twenty combined. Rock isn’t dead; it’s in need of revival.
