it's pretty good apart from how they were all like "okay nobody needs to bother doing any production on this just put all the sliders to the top of the mixer and go for it". a bit like Raw Power but less awesome.

Would be interesting to get the estate of Johnny Cash to weigh in on this. Someone wanna get them on the line?

Musically it's not groundbreaking but from an emotional standpoint it's pretty intense and worthy of praise.

he was a famous hardcore pornstar noteble for his role in BDSM and other torture porn. typically he'd wear a crown made of thorns and pretend to hurt chicks

i remember hearing that cash referred to reznor as "whoever wrote that song" whenever he was asked about the cover

You'd probably enjoy it if your White Chrisitan God in his infinite wisdom (lol) decided to be chill and grant you the gift of hearing but you're also deaf so you'd be moved to tears hearing your own farts.

Johnny Cash's cover rendition of "Hurt" is superior to the original release by Trent Reznor. Fortunately Reznor created the song. Otherwise Trent Reznor would just look like a poseur pretending to understand a life of much suffering. (see also the band System of a Down)

its like they were going for an overdriven tape recording sound but it was all done digitally so it sounds really obvious and lovely

I think it struck a chord with people because of the context. Cash had lived a crazy life and was right at the end of it. It felt very poignant not just in delivery but circumstance.

edit: but yeah original is like a million times better
