'Star Wars,' Nails Share Angry Sound

At first glance the new album from industrial-noise kingpin Trent Reznor and the soundtrack for George Lucas' sixth "Star Wars" movie to be released might not have much in common. Sure, the mechanics of these two albums, new in stores today, are radically different. But these albums tap a similar emotional core: With "Revenge of the Sith" it's Anakin Skywalker's inner-moral conflict that leads him to the dark side of the force and into the all-black wardrobe of Darth Vader. Meanwhile, Reznor is Anakin/Darth in his own angst-ridden universe, lashing out about self-doubt and failed romance with all the venom of a sulky teen. Source: DesMoinesRegister
