Not Nine Inch Nails, but Still Amazing!
by JackieH on 2013-04-29Sound Academy - TorontoI have been a fan of Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor for more than half of my life. That being said, I knew this was not going to be a Nine Inch Nails show. The rest of the crowd, maybe they didn't know that though! So many fanboys/girls! So many silly screams of "I Love You Trent!" But, on to the review of the actual show. The light show -- amazing. But, what would you expect when there is a member of the group tasked with controlling the lights. The sound -- good for the Sound Academy (not my favourite venue). The sightlines at the Sound Academy always stink, but I was able to see pretty well and since the crowd was pretty subdued, I wasn't being trampled on all night long. The setlist consisted of mostly songs off of the album and some from the EP. I enjoy the songs of the album more, so I was happy. I had heard mixed reviews of Mariqueen's vocals, but I feel she held her ground next to her famous husband. Overall, if we ever see another How to Destroy Angels tour, I will be there!
