'''''Hesitation Marks''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 28]]''''') is the ninth studio album from [[Nine Inch Nails]]. It was released on September 3, 2013 , in a total of five formats: CD, Deluxe Edition CD, vinyl, digital , and iTunes Deluxe Edition. The album was recorded secretly over the course of a year and came as a complete surprise to fans. On August 26th, 2013, the full album was leaked on the internet, and was made available for streaming on US iTunes the following day.

==About==
==Inspiration and recording==
The album began as a couple of tracks that were meant to be included in a forthcoming proposed greatest hits package for [[Interscope Records]]. The sessions gave way to more songs and ended up yielding an entire album.[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=6190] At one point during the album's creation, producer Markus Dravs was brought in to add a different perspective from Reznor's long-term team of [[Atticus Ross]] and [[Alan Moulder]]. The collaboration didn't feel right, however, and was terminated.[http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6304122/trent-reznor-talks-nine-inch-nails-scoring-gone-girl-apple-project]
In an interview with ''The Guardian''[http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/aug/08/the-nine-lives-of-trent-reznor], Reznor revealed that the two songs originally written and recorded for the hits package were "Everything" and "Satellite". He also explained what inspired, in his view, a more minimal and sparse treatment of the music:
An amalgam of the contextually-anchored and the process-driven, they are hopefully powerful, arresting, seductive, suggestive and resonant. I hope that they will invite multiple readings.</blockquote>
