Reznor Disses Cornell's 'Scream'

Nine Inch Nails' main man Trent Reznor, posted his thoughts on Chris Cornell's new album Scream via Twitter:

“You know that feeling you get when somebody embarrasses themselves so badly YOU feel uncomfortable? Heard Chris Cornell’s record? Jesus.”

We find the whole Twitter phenomenon to be ridiculous—what is it, micro-blogging? the online equivalent of phone-texting?—but if it's going to become the home of 20-words-or-less record reviews, it's only fair that J.D. Considine—whose infamous pithy reviews of Yes' Big Generator ("Just say no") and the self-titled debut from prog supergroup GTR ("SHT") in the now-defunct Musician magazine, are legendary in certain circles—should get some monetary compensation.
