From the exquisite visuals (which, even in their calmest moments, still blow some of the biggest names out of the water) to their effortless on-stage rapport and the sheer quality of their live sound, this sensational outing is vintage Nails. Welcome back, guys. We\u2019ve missed you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Away from touring, Reznor also said in Sacramento that new music would be on the way. \u201cAnd if we feel inspired and if we feel we can beat this [show], we\u2019ll see you again.
