Spooky Album

It was 1969 when the infamous Manson murders took place, horrifying the American collective unconsciousness. One of these murders included Sharon Tate whose house would later become the recording studio for the 1994 classic album The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails. This was a move in bad taste and raises the question if there's anything peculiar about this album.

So I listened to it. It was good, but nothing spooky or that unusual about it. So I listened to it again. Still a good album, but nothing stood out to me other than the closing track seeming more sad like it was written from a place of hurt. I give it a third listen, still good, but I feel like I'm missing something.

So I listened to it backwards, and the lyrics are all garbled and unintelligible now. Wait a second, there's a smoky smell in the air. That's odd, this album is fire, but why am I smelling smoke?

Oh shit, I left my pizza in the oven. Hopefully it's not too late to call the fire department.
