Album Description
Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. The soothing sounds of the glockenspiel, vibraphone, mellotron and other instruments will lull your baby into a sweet slumber.

Nine Inch Nails changed the way an entire generation of kids heard the music around them. Trent Reznor uses unique sounds to create electronic music that is otherworldly. His songs are a warm place that are closer to being fragile than broken. If your child bites the hand that feeds, play this album. It is made with all the love in the world.

Customer Reviews

Sharing the passion
As a father of three and a devout fan of hard rock/metal, I was rather skeptical of the concept of rock songs turned into baby lullabies. However, when I found out my wife was pregnant with our first child together (child #2 for me) I immediately thought about this series that I first blew off as nonsense. What a better way to connect with a tiny infant then sharing what you love the most aside from your family. My first purchase in the series was the Hot Topic exclusive edition and I found it phenominal. My daughter, during her stay in the hospital, would fall asleep in my arms to the tunes of Slayer, Tool, Nirvana to name a few on it. It was a welcome addition to our collection.
By the time daughter two came around, this album came out. The haunting opening to Hurt would just soothe her to sleep. Having heard the songs while in the womb, she knows what they are. Every night we turn this on or any of the other Rockabye's that we own. For any fan of NIN, you can actually hear the "real" version playing in your head while you are taking care of your child. It's almost as if this was a Halo that Trent himself put out in the same vein as Ghosts I-IV or Still. The Hand That Feeds translates surprisingly well. Closer focuses more on the ending of the song then the opening. Sin is also a favorite. Something I Can Never Have makes me think of it as the remix that never was.
All in all, a great buy for any fan of NIN looking for a slower pace. For parents looking to share their passion? A must.

About 20x better than I thought it would be
This whole catalog is impressive. I own the Radiohead, TOOL, and NIN and I don't even have kids. I just wanted to hear it but it's rather amazing. It's rather soothing music for this genre of music. I'll buy more.

Translation went surprisingly well!
As subversive as NIN's lyrical content is sometimes, as a fan from the early days, I found myself amazed by how well the music translates to the lullaby format! I was really skeptical about getting this one, but said what the hell - NIN's melodies are haunting, repetitious and melodic, which I think would add another stimulus to our baby boy's environment. I would definitely recommend this one - a side benefit too all of these is that it helps you appreciate the melodic and musicality of your favorite artists as well!!
