Year Zero sounds like nothing he has done. With Teeth is different than everything he has done. The Slip was different from everything he has done. Pretty Hate Machine sounds like nothing he has done. The Fragile was fucking unique and incredible. A 2 disc soundscape of eargasm. Broken and The Downward Spiral were the only two to have a somewhat similar sound, but they're still easily discernible. Fucking Ghosts sounds like nothing he has done.
You're a poor listener. Every album he has released has its own unique sound. NIN is the definition of music that's evolved over time. Yeah, he's kept his trademark NIN sound. FUCKING GOOD. I hate when bands lose their identity. But NIN has evolved in every single way.
Edit: You said 'the last 10 years' which encompasses Year Zero, Ghosts, and The Slip. No idea what you're talking about still. Year Zero was anything but safe. It was a concept album detailing the political climate and wars of the future FFS. Ghosts was a concept album. The Slip was the only thing with a slightly traditional rock sound, and that was the result of Trent saying "Here's what I can do on short notice and for free". Still has a badass sound.
