[[File:Information.svg|25px]] [[Wikipedia:Introduction|Welcome]] to Wikipedia, and thank you for [[Special:Contributions/1007D|your contributions]]. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]]. A contribution you made to [[Victorious]] appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important [[Wikipedia:Five pillars|core policy]].

Just thought I'd let you know that, if you add an {{tl|expand}} tag, you should explain on the talk page what needs expansion. Just slapping a tag on accomplishes nothing. Better yet, find an alternative to using the expand tag, as highlighted in [[WP:ALTEXPAND]]. Also, in this case, the article is already tagged as a stub (see [[WP:STUB]]) so an expand tag wouldn't have been necessary anyway. <span style="color:green">Ten Pound Hammer</span>, [[Special:Contributions/TenPoundHammer|his otters]] and a clue-bat • <sup>([[User talk:TenPoundHammer|Otters want attention]])</sup> 01:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Can you please comment [[Talk:The_Downward_Spiral#This_article_is_totally_broken|here]]? I'm not sure if English is your first language but you seem to be creating a huge amount of work for people that have to go around fixing what you're doing to tons and tons of articles. I can hardly comprehend how much work it is going to take to make just that one article even remotely readable. Somehow, through lots of trial and error, I was able to navigate your talk page to the point where I saw that someone else cited [[WP:OVERLINK]] to you which is another problem with your contributions to that and other pages. Please, consider how much work you are creating for other people, and how your work reflects on Wikipedia as a whole when people read what you've written. --[[User:LuftWaffle0|LuftWaffle0]] ([[User talk:LuftWaffle0|talk]]) 05:09, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

;Request reason
<blockquote>I made this unblock request, after I read all the reasons why the administrators decline my unblock requests. The first reason is about being to describe two edits. My second unblock request was declined again for "two reasons. First, because [I] still haven't explained why [I] performed the vandalism [I] did. And secondly, because [I] haven't pledged to avoid vandalism...". I tried to have Delta Quad find a mentor in order to get unblocked, but that also failed to meet my expectations. TNX Man forced me to give a better detail about my predictions to not do vandalism and disruptive editing. Two more requests were declined by you. Contary to my blog's beliefs, I will never make any vandalism and/or disruptive editing again, just because I read Wikipedia's rules and understand its many policies and guidelines.

The '''tiger shark''', ''Galeocerdo cuvier'', is a species of [[requiem shark]] and the only member of the [[genus]] '''''Galeocerdo'''''. Commonly known as sea tigers, tiger sharks are relatively large macropredators, capable of attaining a length of over {{convert|5|m|ft|abbr=on}}.<ref name="LS">{{cite web|url=http://homepage.mac.com/mollet/Gc/Gc_large.html|title=Summary of Large Tiger Sharks Galeocerdo cuvier (Peron & LeSueur, 1822)|accessdate=May 3, 2010}}</ref> This shark typically reaches [[Sexual maturity|maturity]] at lengths of {{convert|2|to|3|m|ft|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Florida">{{cite web|url=http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/Gallery/Descript/Tigershark/tigershark.htm|title= Tiger Shark Biological Profile| publisher=[[Florida Museum of Natural History]] Icthyology Department |accessdate=2005-01-22 }}</ref><ref name="MarineBio">{{cite web|url=http://marinebio.org/species.asp?id=37|title=Galeocerdo cuvier Tiger Shark| publisher=Marine Bio |accessdate=2006-10-14}}</ref> It is found in many [[tropical]] and [[temperate]] oceans, and is especially common around central [[Pacific]] islands. Its name derives from the dark stripes down its body, which resemble a [[tiger]]'s pattern and fade as the shark matures.<ref name="SharkInfo"/>  

The tiger shark is a solitary, mostly night-time hunter. Its diet involves a wide range of prey, including [[crustacean]]s, [[fish]], [[Pinniped|seals]], [[bird]]s, smaller sharks, [[squid]], [[turtle]]s, [[sea snake]]s, and dolphins. Tiger sharks are considered a [[endangered species|near threatened species]] due to excessive [[shark finning|finning]] and fishing by humans.<ref name="iucn" />

While the tiger shark is considered to be one of the sharks most dangerous to humans, the attack rate is surprisingly low according to researchers.<ref name="www2.hawaii.edu">http://www2.hawaii.edu/~carlm/</ref> The tiger is second on the list of number of recorded attacks on humans, with the [[great white shark]] being first.<ref name="flmnh"/><ref name="sharkAttackStats">{{cite web|url=http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/sharks/Statistics/species2.htm |title= ISAF Statistics on Attacking Species of Shark| publisher=[[Florida Museum of Natural History]] University of Florida |accessdate=2008-05-04 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book| last=Daley |first=Audrey|year=1994 |title=Shark |publisher=Hodder & Stroughton |isbn= 0-340-61654-7<!--| unused_data=ISBN status=May be invalid - please double check-->}}</ref> They often visit shallow reefs, harbours and canals, creating the potential for encounter with humans.<ref name="SharkInfo"/>

====Taxonomy====
The shark was first described by [[François Péron|Peron]] and [[Charles Alexandre Lesueur|Lessueur]] in 1822, and was given the name ''Squalus cuvier''.<ref name="ITIS">{{cite web|url=http://www.itis.usda.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=160189|title=ITIS report, Galeocerdo cuvier| publisher=[[ITIS|Taxonomic Information System]] |accessdate=2006-09-22 }}</ref> [[Johannes Peter Müller|Müller]] and [[Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle|Henle]], in 1837 renamed it ''Galeocerdo tigrinus''.<ref name="Florida"/> The genus, ''Galeocerdo'', is derived from the Greek, ''galeos'' which means shark and the Latin ''cerdus'' which means the hard hairs of pigs.<ref name="Florida"/> It is often colloquially called the man-eater shark.<ref name="Florida"/>

The tiger shark is a member of the order [[Carcharhiniformes]];<ref name="ITIS"/> members of this order are characterized by the presence of a [[nictitating membrane]] over the eyes, two dorsal fins, an [[anal fin]], and five [[gill]] slits. It is the largest member of the [[Carcharhinidae]] [[Family (biology)|family]], commonly referred to as [[requiem shark]]s. This family includes some other well-known sharks, such as the [[blue shark]], [[lemon shark]] and [[bull shark]].<ref name="SharkInfo"/>

====Range and habitat====
The tiger shark is often found close to the coast, in mainly [[tropical]] and [[subtropics|sub-tropical]] waters worldwide,<ref name="flmnh">

</ref> Along with the [[Great White shark]], [[Pacific sleeper shark]], [[Greenland shark]] and [[sixgill shark]], tiger sharks are among the largest [[Extant taxon|extant]] sharks.<ref name="Florida"/> The shark's behavior is primarily [[nomadic]], but is guided by warmer currents, and it stays closer to the equator throughout the colder months. The shark tends to stay in deep waters that line reefs but does move into channels to pursue prey in shallower waters. In the western [[Pacific Ocean]], the shark has been found as far north as [[Japan]] and as far south as [[New Zealand]].<ref name="fishbase">{{cite web|url=http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=886|title=Galeocerdo cuvier| publisher=[[Fishbase]] |accessdate=2006-09-28}}</ref>

Tiger sharks have been recorded at depths just shy of {{Convert|900|m|ft|-2}}<ref name="Florida"/> but is also known to move into shallow water - water that is normally thought to be too shallow for a species of its size.<ref name="SharkInfo"/> They often visit shallow reefs, harbours and canals, creating the potential for encounter with humans.

====Anatomy and appearance====
[[Image:Tigershark3.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Juvenile tiger shark in the Bahamas|alt=Profile photo of shark, accompanied by [[remora]], swimming just above a sandy seafloor]]

=====Size=====
One of the largest sharks living today, the tiger shark commonly attains a length of {{convert|3|to|4.2|m|ft|abbr=on}} and weighs around {{convert|385|-|635|kg|lb|0}}.<ref name="Florida" /> The largest specimen yet reported was a gigantic female caught in 1957. This specimen was presumably 7.4 m (25 feet) long and weighed {{convert|3110|kg|lb}}.<ref name="LS"/> Sometimes a male tiger shark can grow up to 4.5 meters (14-15 feet long) and females at 5.5 meters (18 feet long). A tiger shark can sometimes rival a great white shark in size.<ref name="SharkInfo"/> Tiger sharks can usually grow up to 14-20 feet long.

=====Biology=====
Tiger sharks' skins can typically range from blue to light green with a white or light yellow underbelly. Dark spots and stripes are most visible in young sharks and fade as the shark matures. Its head is somewhat wedge-shaped, which makes it easy to turn quickly to one side.<ref name="SharkInfo"/><ref>[www.marinebiodiversity.ca/shark/english/tiger_shark.htm Tiger Shark - Centre for Marine Biodiversity]. [[Marine Biodiversity]]. Retrived 2011-06-09.</ref> Tiger sharks have small pits on the side of their upper bodies which hold electroreceptors called the [[ampullae of Lorenzini]], enabling them to detect electric fields, including the bio-electricity generated by prey.<ref name="MarineBio" /> Tiger sharks also have a sensory organ called a [[lateral line]] which extends on their flanks down most of the length of their sides. The primary role of this structure is to detect minute vibrations in the water. These adaptations allow the Tiger shark to hunt in darkness and detect hidden prey.<ref name="New Brunswick Tiger Shark">[new-brunswick.net/new-brunswick/sharks/species/tiger.html Tiger Shark - The Province of New Brunswick Canada]. [[New Brunswick]]. Retrived 2011-06-09.</ref>

A reflective layer behind the Tiger shark's [[retina]] called the [[tapetum lucidum]] allows light-sensing cells a second chance to capture [[photon]]s of visible light, enhancing vision in low light conditions. A tiger shark generally has long fins to provide lift as the shark maneuvers through water, while the long upper tail provides bursts of speed. Tigers normally swim using small body movements.<ref name="overview" /> Its high back and [[dorsal fin]] act as a pivot, allowing it to spin quickly on its axis, though the shark's [[dorsal fin]]s are distinctively close to its tail.<ref name="MarineBio" />

Its teeth are specialized to slice through flesh, bone, and other tough substances such as turtle shells. Like most sharks, however, its teeth are continually replaced by rows of new teeth.<ref name="MarineBio" />

Due to high risk of predatory attacks, dolphins often avoid regions inhabited by tiger sharks.<ref name="Competition" /> Tiger sharks also eat other sharks (such as sandbar sharks) including other tiger sharks.<ref name="SharkInfo"/>

Tiger sharks also attack injured or ailing [[whales]] and prey upon them. A group was documented attacking and killing an ailing [[humpback whale]], in 2006, near [[Hawaii]].<ref>{{Cite web| title = Humpback Whale Shark Attack: A Natural Phenomenon Caught on Camera| url = http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/news/features/1106_sharkattack.html| accessdate = May 4, 2010}}</ref> Tiger sharks also scavenge on dead whales.

The ability to pick up low-frequency pressure waves enables the shark to advance towards an animal with confidence, even in murky water.<ref name="overview">{{cite web|url=http://ladywildlife.com/animals/tigershark.html|title=Tiger Shark| publisher=ladywildlife.com |accessdate=2006-12-21 }}</ref> The shark circles its prey and studies it by prodding it with its snout.<ref name="overview"/> When attacking, the shark often eats its prey whole.<ref name="overview"/> Because of its aggressive feeding, it often mistakenly eats inedible objects, such as automobile [[Vehicle registration plate|license plates]], [[oil]] cans, [[tire]]s, and [[Baseball (object)|baseballs]]. For this reason, the tiger shark is often regarded as the ocean's "garbage can".<ref name="SharkInfo"/>
<!--Unsourced:Recent information contradicts the notion that the tiger shark is a random and aggressive feeder, a description that has haunted the shark for the past 100 years. Although little has been documented on its behavior, in particular its feeding patterns, suggestions have been made that the tiger shark represents a high type of specialization, meaning that when its common food supply is low, it has the ability to modify its regular diet to incorporate other forms of prey.-->

=====Swimming efficiency and stealth=====
Tiger sharks generally swim slowly, which, combined with cryptic coloration, may make them difficult for prey to detect them in some habitats. Tiger sharks are specially well camouflaged against dark backgrounds.<ref name="Competition" /> Despite their sluggish appearance, tiger sharks are one of the strongest swimmers of the carcharhinid sharks. Once the shark has come close, a speed burst allows it to reach the intended prey before it can escape.<ref name="Competition" />

====Reproduction====
Males reach sexual maturity at {{convert|2.3|to|2.9|m|ft|abbr=on}} and females at {{convert|2.5|to|3.5|m|ft|abbr=on}}.<ref name="MarineBio"/> Females mate once every 3 years.<ref name="SharkInfo">{{cite web|url=http://www.sharkinfo.ch/SI4_99e/gcuvier.html|title=Fact Sheet: Tiger Sharks|last=Ritter|first=Erich K.|date=15 December 1999|publisher=Shark Info|accessdate=2009-05-15}}</ref> They breed by internal fertilization: the male inserts one of his [[clasper]]s into the female's genital opening ([[cloaca]]), acting as a guide for the [[sperm]]. The male uses its teeth to hold the female still during the procedure, often causing the female considerable discomfort. Mating in the northern hemisphere generally takes place between March and May, with birth between April and June the following year. In the southern hemisphere, mating takes place in November, December, or early January. The tiger shark is the only species in its family that is [[ovoviviparous]]; its eggs hatch internally and the young are born live when fully developed.<ref name="Florida"/>

The young develop inside the mother's body for up to 16 months. Litters range from 10 to 80 pups.<ref name="Florida"/> A newborn is generally {{Convert|51|cm|in|0}} to {{Convert|76|cm|in|0}} long.<ref name="Florida"/> It is unknown how long tiger sharks live, but they can live longer than 12 years.<ref name="SharkInfo"/>

A large tiger shark was killed and hung, and later measured to be presumably matching the size and bite pattern of the shark which attacked Hamilton.

Between 1959 and 1976, 4,668 tiger sharks were [[culling|culled]] in an effort to protect the [[tourism]] industry. Despite these efforts attacks did not decrease. It is illegal to feed sharks in Hawaii, and interaction with them, such as [[Shark proof cage|cage]] diving, is discouraged.<ref name="WPRFMC">{{cite web|url=http://www.wpcouncil.org/press/2006Oct23_PRESSRELEASE_135CM.pdf|title=Federal Fishery Managers Vote To Prohibit Shark Feeding| publisher=Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council|accessdate=2007-06-15 }}</ref> South African shark scientist Mark Addison demonstrated that they could be tamed somewhat in a 2007 [[Discovery Channel]] special.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2007/07/shark-week-dead.html | publisher = [[LA Times]] | title = Shark Week: 'Deadly Stripes: Tiger Sharks' | accessdate = 2007-09-28 | date = 30 July 2007}}</ref>

The tiger shark is captured and killed for its [[Fish anatomy#Fins|fins]], [[flesh]], and [[liver]]. It is caught regularly in target and non-target fisheries. There is evidence of declines for several populations where they have been heavily fished, but in general they do not face a high risk of extinction. However, continued demand, especially for fins, may result in further declines in the future. Tiger sharks are considered a [[endangered species|near threatened species]] due to excessive [[shark finning|finning]] and fishing by humans according to [[International Union for Conservation of Nature|International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)]].<ref>http://www.iucnredlist.org/apps/redlist/details/39378/0</ref>

While shark fin has very few nutrients, shark liver has a high concentration of [[retinol|vitamin A]] which is used in the production of vitamin oils. In addition, the tiger shark is captured and killed for its distinct skin, as well as by [[big-game fishing|big game]] fishers.<ref name="Florida"/>

In 2010, Greenpeace International added the tiger shark to its seafood red list. "The Greenpeace International seafood red list is a list of fish that are commonly sold in supermarkets around the world, and which have a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries."<ref>[http://www.greenpeace.org/international/seafood/red-list-of-species Greenpeace International Seafood Red list]</ref>

====Mythology====
Tiger sharks are considered to be sacred ''[[Aumakua|nā {{okina}}aumākua]]'' (ancestor spirits) by some [[native Hawaiians]], who think their eyeballs have special seeing powers. This aligns with the general known facts about sharks and their [[Sharks#Senses|highly developed senseģs]].<ref>www2.hawaii.edu/~carlm/tigershark.html</ref>

'''''The Downward Spiral''''' is the second [[studio album]] by American [[industrial rock]] act [[Nine Inch Nails]], released on March 8, 1994, on [[Interscope Records]] and [[Nothing Records]]. It is a [[concept album]] detailing the destruction of an undisclosed man, frÂom the beginning of his "downward spiral" to his climactic attempt at suicide. Due to its lyrical and thematic content, the album was often packaged with a [[Parental Advisory]] sticker, the first of many instances for a Nine Inch Nails recording. ''The Downward Spiral'' features elements of [[industrial rock]], [[techno music|techno]], and [[heavy metal music]], a stark contrast to the primitive [[electronic dance music]] style shown throughout ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'' in 1989. 

Following the increase of popularity achieved from the marketing campaigns for ''Pretty Hate Machine'', ''[[Broken (EP)|Broken]]'' and ''[[Fixed (EP)|Fixed]]'', [[Trent Reznor]] wrote the album's concept via poems. He moved to [[10050 Cielo Drive]] with co-producer [[Flood (producer)|Flood]], and started the recording process, in spite of [[electrical]] issues. [[Adrian Belew]] and [[Stephen Perkins]] were invited to participate in the album's production. Production wrapped up in February 1994 when it was mastered by [[Alan Moulder]]. 

Selling over five million copies worldwide and certified [[Music recording sales certification|quadruple platinum]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA) for shipments of four million copies in the United States making the album the act's highest selling release there, ''The Downward Spiral'' was a major commercial success that established Nine Inch Nails as a reputable force in the 1990s music scene, particularly following the release of the single "[[Closer (Nine Inch Nails song)|Closer]]" and its provocative [[music video]] (directed by [[Mark Romanek]]). The live band supported the record with the controversial [[Self Destruct Tour]].

Since its official release date, the album was released to [[Positive feedback|critical acclaim]], and has continued to be well-received. While the album has appeared on many "best of" lists, it has been widely regarded by music critics as Nine Inch Nails' best work. Because it received a large amount of positive reactions from critics and fans alike, the album was nominated for the [[Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album|Best Alternative Music Performance]] at the [[37th Grammy Awards]] on 1 March 1995, while the final track off the album ("[[Hurt (Nine Inch Nails song)|Hurt]]") received a nomination for [[Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance|Best Hard Rock Performance]] in [[38th Grammy Awards|1996]], both which did not win any trophies. A companion [[remix]] album, ''[[Further Down the Spiral]]'', was released in that same year.

====Writing and recording====
=====Background and relocation=====
{{Quote box
 | quote  = "The idea for this record came about the end of '91 when we finished the first [[Lollapalooza]], and we went to [[Europe]]. I was sitting in the hotel room and I was kind of seeing the energy that Nine Inch Nails was drawing on. It was a definite negative vibe, and although [...] it was powerful, it's ultimately not the end of the road: a means towards something else - I'm not sure what that is and [...] I kinda came up with the idea of ''[The] Downward Spiral'' which I knew would be a pretty harrowing exploration of that. So, this record was focusing on those certain things that were [[major depressive disorder|bothering]] me that I felt needed exploring - which is not to say that everything in my life is [[Hate|totally terrible and negative]], but it was a record about a certain set of things and that's what I wanted to explore."

The first ideas for ''The Downward Spiral'' were conceived after the act's role in the [[Lollapalooza]] 1991 festival, and Reznor was experiencing personal issues at that time, deeming it a "definite negative vibe."<ref name="Huxley Page 95" /> Thinking of the criticism the act received, he was considering committing [[suicide]].<ref>Huxley (1997), p. 92.</ref> Though production on 1992's ''[[Broken (EP)|Broken]]'' [[extended play]] had begun after 1991, recording on the material written for the act's second album did not start until 1993.<ref name="Huxley Page 95" /> Reznor often checked out 15 houses in a day, but discovered a building that was constructed at a residental area in [[Los Angeles]].<ref name="Entertainment Weekly - The Downward Spiral" />

[[:Image:Le Pig Studios.jpg|thumb|[[10050 Cielo Drive]] was Reznor's choice for the location to record ''The Downward Spiral''. Pictured here is the studio surrounding the house, ''Le Pig''.]]
Although he did not know what direction the album would have, Reznor rented for $11,000 per month a house located at [[10050 Cielo Drive]] in [[Beverly Hills, California]] – the location where actress [[Sharon Tate]], wife of noted film director [[Roman Polanski]], was murdered by members of the [[Charles Manson]]-led Manson Family in 1969 – on July 4, 1992.<ref name="Trent Reznor 1994 Select">{{cite web| url = http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xart5a.shtml| title = Who Really Is Trent Reznor?

Initially, Reznor was to record it in [[New Orleans]], but due to financial duties, he changed his mind.<ref>Huxley (1997), p. 97.</ref> Amidst the notoriety attached to the house, he chose to record in the building he rented due to having found it interesting.

=====Le Pig sessions=====
The first stage of production was the writing process. Reznor wrote a large number of [[poem]]s, then made a list of things and lyrical themes he will explore for the album on [[paper]].<ref>Estlund, Kristina. ''Trentspeak''. ''[[RIP (magazine)|Rip]]'' (November 1994).</ref> He purchased two [[action figure]]s ([[Jesus]] and [[Kiss (band)|Kiss]] lead singer [[Gene Simmons]]) while writing the album, and placed both at a mixing console.<ref>Unknown author.

Retrieved 2011-06-04.</ref> The Nine Inch Nails frontman was afforded more studio time than the ''Broken'' EP, also partially recorded in Le Pig. [[Flood (producer)|Flood]] was previously involved in two of the ten tracks off ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'' (1989) ("[[Head Like a Hole]]" and "[[Terrible Lie]]"), and three songs from ''[[Broken]]'' (1992) ("[[Wish (song)|Wish]]", "Last", "Gave Up"). He was hired as co-producer of several tracks on ''The Downward Spiral''.<ref name="Taylor" /> 

A option of inviting a number of guest performers to record was created. Among the people invited to Le Pig are former [[Jane's Addiction]] and [[Porno for Pyros]] drummer [[Stephen Perkins]] on "I Do Not Want This" and [[progressive rock]] guitarist [[Adrian Belew]] on "[[Mr. Self Destruct]]" and "The Becoming" (who played in several bands, including [[King Crimson]] and the live band for [[David Bowie]]).<ref name="Taylor">{{cite book| url = http://books.google.com/?id=KPOsu8JOHO8C| title = The A to X of Alternative Music| author = Steve Taylor| publisher  = Continuum International Publishing Group| year = 2004| pages = 165| isbn = 0826482171| accessdate = 2008-02-20}}</ref>  Belew said of Reznor: "Trent [Reznor] has an astounding command of technology, old and new; he's such an intriguing person to work with, but that may have actually helped in some way.

[[Image:Perkins070511.jpg|thumb|left|[[Stephen Perkins]] performed numerous drumming takes during the recording stage, and is notable for his role as drummer of "I Do Not Want This".]]
Perkins performed a number of live drumming takes that were recorded live in the studio; these tracks were subsequently rendered into looped samples that were manipulated electronically using [[Pro Tools]] in a [[Macintosh]] computer.<ref>Huxley (1997), p. 107.</ref> Reznor took a similar approach to recording audio existing of guitars, taping 20 to 25-minute long sessions of himself playing with a [[Jackson Guitars|Jackson]] guitar and a Zoom 9030 pedal on a hard disc recorder with a Studio Vision sequencer. He would cut out clips of the recordings he praised for later use.<ref>Huxley (1997), p. 104.</ref> Many portions of the "stuff we do–even vocals–is recorded into the computer first. We get an arrangement together and then [[Convert|dump it to]] [[audio cassette|tape]]."<ref name="guitar world">di Perna, Alan. "Machine Head". ''Guitar World''. April 1994.</ref>

Reznor later explained of most of the equipment he used in 1995: 

<blockquote>Usually I call up [a highlight from [[Digidesign]]'s TurboSynth program] the 'waveshaper' function and click through a few of them, or use the 'convert sample to oscillator' command. A real low [[pitch]] can get you some insane sounds. I also might modulate a guitar or vocal sound with a real low frequency from the oscillator module, something with a bell tone or some odd harmonics – that can usually produce some awesome [[Growling|death-vocal]] or guitar sounds. Also, for [samples involving the] guitar, almost everything was put through a Zoom 9030. I don't like the [[distortion]] stuff in there – it's too traditional – but I really like the amp simulator. We also used a new [[Marshall Amplification|Marshall]] rack-amount head, which sounded great. I'd take the direct out of that through the Zoom amp simulator for a pretty good, almost [[Pantera]]-ish power-metal sound. I use that as a basis, and since everything's recorded in the computer, it's easy to take it into TurboSynth and fuck around with it."<ref name="Guitar Player. April 1994, Nine Inch Nails." /></blockquote>

Nevertheless, the production was plagued with several [[electricity]] problems, and a number of songs had to be reworked. The overuse of the equipment they used and Reznor's stint at using something incompatible with various items resulted in these issues.<ref>Huxley (1997), p. 98.</ref>
One of the songs written for the album, "Just Do It," made Flood speak to Reznor that he was [[Criticism|dismissive]] of the final result.<ref>Huxley (1997), p. 111.</ref> A short song that was never completed, it talks about commiting suicide. Flood eventually relocated to the [[United Kingdom]], due to his disatisfaction of Nine Inch Nails. Afterwards, Reznor completed the last song written for the album, "Big Man with a Gun", in February 1994.<ref name="spin">{{Cite document| url = http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xart89.shtml| title =  "Top 90 Albums of the 90's| accessdate = 2009-05-25| publisher = spin| date = August 1999| postscript = <!--None-->}}</ref> The album is widely seen as Flood's finale with Nine Inch Nails' works, since he opted to work on various other albums like [[U2]]'s ''[[Pop (U2 album)|Pop]]'' (1997), [[Depeche Mode]]'s ''[[Ultra (album)|Ultra]]'' (1997), and [[The Smashing Pumpkins]]'s ''[[Adore (The Smashing Pumpkins album)|Adore]]'' (1996).

====Themes, lyrics and controversy====
[[|thumb|Alt=A monkey strapped to a crucifix.|A common theme in ''The Downward Spiral'' is [[Nihilism]]. Parts of the [[Mark Romanek]]-directed music video for "[[Closer (Nine Inch Nails song)|Closer]]," such as this imagery of a [[crucifixion|crucified]] [[monkey]], is a take on the theme.]]
There are numerous layers of metaphors that are present throughout the album, which leaves it open to wide interpretation.<ref>Huxley (1997), p. 95.</ref> The album relays many concepts of [[Nihilism]], such as the chorus line in "Heresy" (one of three meanings of the word is "adherence to a religious opinion contrary to church [[dogma]]"),<ref>{{cite book|title = Merriam-Webster's Dictionary and Thesaurus| publisher = Merriam-Webster, Incorporated| year = 2006| isbn =139780877798514|pages = 504}}</ref> which exclaims: "Your [[god is dead]]/And no one cares. If [[Atheism|there is a hell]]/I'll see you [[Hell|there]]." As a whole, ''The Downward Spiral'' is defined by [[Friedrich Nietzsche|Nietzschean]] concepts and a prominent theme of [[existentialism]]. It is a [[concept album]] in which the overarching plot follows the protagonist's descent into his own inner [[solipsism|solipsistic]] world, through a metaphorical "downward spiral", dealing with [[Interpersonal relationship|relationships]] ("[[Piggy (song)|Piggy]]"), [[religion]] ("Heresy"), [[society]] ("[[March of the Pigs]]" and "Eraser"), [[sexuality]] ("[[Closer (Nine Inch Nails song)|Closer]]"), [[drugs]] ("Ruiner"), [[dehumanization]] ("The Becoming"), [[disease]] ("I Do Not Want This" and "Reptile"), [[violence]] ("Big Man with a Gun"), [[emotion]] ("A Warm Place"), and finally [[suicide]] ("The Downward Spiral" and "Hurt"). This character can be understood as a representation of Reznor himself. Throughout the accompanying Self Destruct tour, the visibility of controversy increased with religious protests, but before this point occurred, Reznor perceived himself to be "pretty normal. With ''The Downward Spiral'', I can remember where I was in my head, what I was thinking, and I can remember writing that record, and the mindset. This record that was about an extension of me, became the truth fulfilling itself."<ref>''Metal Edge'', July 2005</ref>

"[[Mr. Self Destruct]]" describes the background of the protagonist, including sexuality. This aspect is further explored in "Closer," whose lyrics and music video were criticized by some for representing inapproiate content. The chorus featured themes of [[copulation]], leading to a radio edit with the "I wanna fuck you like an animal" line censored created for airplay. The song did not top any charts, and failed to reach the [[Top 40]] on the ''[[Billboard Hot 100]]'' chart, peaking at number 41.<ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:hjfuxqugldae~T31 "The Downward Spiral > Charts & Awards > Billboard Singles"]. [[Allmusic]]. Retrieved on 2009-09-13.</ref> 

{{Quote box|quote="The best thing about life is knowing you put it together." |source=&mdash;hidden message heard in the opening of "A Warm Place". |width=25% |align=left |style=padding:8px;}}
The meaning of "[[Hurt (Nine Inch Nails song)|Hurt]]" (later covered by [[country music]]ian [[Johnny Cash]] in 2002) is disputed; some listeners say the song acts like a suicide note with notes on [[Depression (mood)|depression]], while other may find it to describe someone finding a new lease on life.<ref>Huxley (1997), p. 104</ref> Officially, the song talks about differences between society and [[self-harm]]. The title track, somewhat like "Hurt," has the protagonist [[Murder-suicide|committing suicide with a gun]] aimed at "his face" (the unreleased "Just Do It" deals with a similar fate, while the [[gun violence]]-laden "Big Man with a Gun" might be heard sometimes as an [[alternative ending]] to the album – the latter with the main character killing a different person instead of himself), followed by changes of the person's environment.

"Piggy" is named after a character who has a dislike on the main character, whereby "Reptile" deals with the protagonist's role as a whore. Both songs are named after [[animals]]. "Eraser" is the only song to have its title conceived from the name of a invention (in this case, the [[school]]-used [[Eraser|object with the same name]]).

"The Becoming" has the protagonist retreating from his human, emotional side, and the power and the pain inherent in doing so. Its lyrics include references to [[near-death experience|near-death]] and [[death]] experiences, and also use the name "Annie". When given about the use of "Annie", Reznor said in retrospect that this person "was abstractly referring to a [[college]] [[Relationship|sweetheart/heartbreak situation]] that, at the time I was writing that song, was a valid source of emotional pain to draw from. Her real name is Andrea Mulrain, and her [[phone number]] is... [the phone number used was not printed in Reznor's answer to the use of the name]."<ref>[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=11 Trent Reznor interview 2004]</ref> Even "Ruiner" blusters with disease themes, though the lyrics contain [[drug]] references, with the eponymous character's personality consisting of "ruin[ing] everything" so much that he could spread a [[virus]].

Some of the album's songs conclude by repeating the same line or set of lines. These deviate from the traditional chorus-chorus ending in that these lyrics are introduced near the end, and they are not sung, but rather whispered or yelled. The most evident of these is the phrase "[[Invincible|nothing can stop me now]]", which appears in "Piggy", "Ruiner", and "Big Man with a Gun". The same words would recur on later albums in "La Mer", "[[We're in This Together]]", and "Sunspots".

{{quote|The record was nearing completion. I had [[Songwriting|written]] those lyrics pretty quickly and I didn't know if I was going to use them or not. To me, ''Downward Spiral'' builds to a certain degree of [[madness]], then it changes. That would be the last stage of [[delirium]]. So the original point of 'Big Man with a Gun' was madness. But it was also making fun of the whole [[Misogyny|misogynistic]] [[Gangster rap|gangsta-rap]] bullshit. [...] I listen to a lot of it, and I enjoy it. But I could do without the degree of misogyny and [[Sexual abuse|hatred of women and abuse]]. Then, my song got [[Misinterpretation|misinterpreted]] as exactly that. It was probably a [[Writer's block|lack of being able to write]]. I've been taken out of context, and it's ridiculous. [...] She's a fucking idiot. But I think ''The Downward Spiral'' actually could be [[Trouble|harmful]], through implying and subliminally suggesting [[Variety|a lot of things]], whereas a lot of the [[Hardcore hip hop|hardcore rap]] becomes [[Animation|cartoonish]]—it's real to [[Children|youngsters]], but it's so over the top. From an artistic point of view, if I'd had a couple more months to [[Memory|look back on everything]], I probably would not have put that song on the record. Just 'cause I don't think it's that good a song, not because I got spanked for it.<ref>http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xint8a.shtml</ref>}}

====Samples====
The opening sounds of "Mr. Self Destruct" are a portion from the [[George Lucas]]-directed ''[[THX 1138]]'' (1971) in which a man is being beaten by a [[Security|prison guard]] while flanked inside a [[jail]].<ref name="Discogs">{{cite web| url = http://www.discogs.com/release/4404| title = Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral| publisher = Discogs| accessdate = 2007-04-15}}</ref> The drum track for "Closer" features a heavily modified [[bass drum]] [[Sampling (music)|sample]] from the [[Iggy Pop]] song "Nightclubbing" from his album ''[[The Idiot (album)|The Idiot]]'' (1977). The sounds heard in the middle section of "Ruiner" contains a sample from [[David Lynch]]'s film ''[[The Elephant Man]]'' (1980). The loop of screaming voices heard at the beginning of "The Becoming" is again a sample from the cult film ''[[Robot Jox]]'' (1991), which globally grossed less than [[United States dollar|US$]]2,000,000.<ref>{{mojo title|robotjox}}</ref> The voice at the beginning of "Big Man with a Gun" comes from a studio-altered recording of a [[Pornographic actor|porn star]] having an [[orgasm]]. According to the album liner notes, this sample is titled "Steakhouse" and is credited to [[Tommy Lee]].<ref>''The Downward Spiral'' (Interscope Records/nothing/TVT, March 8, 1994) booklet; liner notes.</ref> However, in the 5.1 surround edition of the 2004 re-release of ''The Downward Spiral'', the sample heard at the point is replaced with a lower-pitched, distant wail, which echoes around the speakers.

The mechanical [[clank]]s at the beginning of "Reptile" can be heard in ''[[Leviathan (film)|Leviathan]]'' (1989), and the looping female voice at the end of the second chorus was originally used in a [[horror fiction]] film titled ''[[The Texas Chain Saw Massacre]]'' (1975). The watery noise at the beginning of "The Downward Spiral" is sampled from [[Ridley Scott]]'s science fiction-horror movie ''[[Alien (film)|Alien]]'' (1979). Japanese pressings contain a bonus track, the [[Joy Division]] cover "Dead Souls", originally released on ''[[The Crow (film)|The Crow]]'' [[The Crow (soundtrack)|original soundtrack]].<ref name="Dead Souls">{{cite web| title = Halo Eight - Japanese first pressing CD5| url = http://nincollector.com/archive/releases/halo_08/08_jap_cd_firstpressing.htm| publisher  = NIN Collector| accessdate = 2007-11-22}}</ref><ref name="The Crow OST">{{cite web| last = Evans| first = Paul| title = Various Artists: The Crow : Music Review : Rolling Stone| publisher  = ''[[Rolling Stone]]''| date = 1994-07-14| url = http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/nineinchnails/discography| accessdate = 2007-10-09}}</ref>

====Release====
=====Promotion=====
Before the release of ''The Downward Spiral'', Reznor presented the album to [[Interscope Records]], a record label who signed Nine Inch Nails shortly before ''[[Broken]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s debut date. After listening to it, they suggested that "Closer" be the album's lead single, but Reznor was critical of the song, unlikely calling it his attempt on ripping off [[Prince (musician)|Prince]]. The record label released "March of the Pigs" instead, hence Reznor's criticism of "Closer".<ref name="Perfect Drug Raygun">{{cite web

=====Cover and packaging=====
[[:Image:Nin-the downward spiral800.jpg]](The artwork for the 2004 remastered deluxe reissue of the ''The Downward Spiral'' is also made by Mills. Note the differences shown here; the background is somewhat dirtier than the original, the brown [[leaves]] are darker than what was seen in the initial 1994 edition, and some of the metal [[wire]]s are bended differently.)

Artwork and sketches for ''The Downward Spiral'', "Closer" and "March of the Pigs" by [[Russell Mills]] were displayed at the [[Glasgow School of Art]]. He was commissioned to create the artwork for the record, especially the album's cover and booklet. He later made packaging to all of its singles (including "[[March of the Pigs]]" and "[[Closer to God]]"), the remix collection ''[[Further Down the Spiral]]'', the 1997 videocassette compilation ''[[Closure (video)|Closure]]'', the 2004 Deluxe Edition and [[DualDisc]] re-releases of ''The Downward Spiral'' (which was accompanied by several new Mills-conceived visual compositions downloadable from Nine Inch Nails' website), and various promotional materials.<ref name="Committere Mills TDS" /> The reissued 2008 vinyl edition contains the same artwork doctored by Mills from the original release.

These interrelated works contain Mills' heaviest use of organic materials to depict a multi-layered sense of grotesque and [[decay]] (also known as [[decomposition]]). The artwork for the album was developed in [[Lakeland]], [[Cumbria]], with the process varying; many of the objects used in the artwork were re-done from [[Grasmere (lake)|Grasmere Lake]]. [[Animal]] [[skeleton]]s, [[teeth]], [[blood]], [[feather]]s, and [[Death|dead]] [[insect]]s are embedded in the canvases. In some pieces, materials have been affixed and then exposed to water or chemical elements, so that their decay (caused by [[Fungi]]) is literally imprinted on the surface of the artwork.<ref>[http://www.russellmills.com/ See "Nine Inch Nails logo on display"]</ref> Mills explained the ideas and materials that made up the painting (titled "Wound") that was used for the cover:

{{quote|I had been thinking about making works that dealt with layers, physically, materially and conceptually. I wanted to produce works that were about both exposure and revealing and at the same dealt with closure and covering. Given the nature of the lyrics and the power of the music I was working with, I felt justified in attempting to make works that alluded to the apparently contradictory imagery of pain and healing. I wanted to make beautiful surfaces that partially revealed the visceral rawness of open wounds beneath. The mixed media work 'Wound' was the first piece I tackled in this vein (no pun intended) and it became the cover of the album. It is made of plaster, acrylics, oils, rusted metals, insects, moths, blood (mine), wax, varnishes, and surgical bandaging on a wooden panel.<ref name="Committere Mills TDS">{{cite web| url = http://www.shedmatter.co.uk/russellmills/mills/installations/committere.html| title = Committere| author = Russell Mills| year = 2006| accessdate = 2009-04-25}}</ref>}}

=====A little feedback=====
:1007D, I found your talkpage <!-- from the AN/I thread --> and wanted to come along to help because it seems like you are trying to contribute in good faith to the article but seem to be a little confused about what is appropriate to include. I don't want to get in the way of your mentor but after reading this sandbox of your intended changes to the article, I have a few comments. It seems like the interpretations of lyrics that you want to include are in violation of the Wikipedia policy against [[WP:OR|original research]] and [[WP:SYN|synthesis]]. When you make a statement like, "'Reptile' deals with the protagonist's role as a whore," and simply cite the lyrics for the statement, that's an example of something that's not allowed in Wikipedia. In essence, you're simply including your own personal interpretation; the only interpretations that can be included in articles must be [[WP:RS|reliable third-party sources]]. It's ok to include such a statment if, for example, a [[Rolling Stone]] article said it but it's not ok for you to simply cite the lyrics when you draw conclusions from them. It is similarly inappropriate to make opinionated statements about the packaging (like "heaviest use of organic materials") and then simply cite an image of the album cover. If you include anything that's even vaguely open to interpretation or subjectivity, it has to be cited to a reliable third-party source. I'm not saying that your interpretations are incorrect; the issue is that Wikipedia is not about <i>your</i> interpretations, it is about the interpretations from a published reliable source. I hope this helps. [[User:Chillllls|Chillllls]] ([[User talk:Chillllls|talk]]) 15:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
