Trent has never denied using a "pop" structure to write the majority of his songs. IMHO, I find that once you accept that NIN is basically "pop with edge" (much like most of today's country is pop with twang) you enjoy the band for what it is more so than trying to pin it down to one category and then getting upset that those boundries have been breached. Hell, at one time I would think KMFDM was probably considered "industrial"
If I wanted to listen to "industrial" Ill pull out Ministry/Skinny Puppy/Frontline Assembly.
