They were so far ahead of their time. Incredible artists.

Only Trent gets the recognition?

The studio guys get mentions in the liner notes

Yeah, Trent was the only permanent member of the band. Live shows were different, but he had absolute control in the studio. The plural band name is (maybe intentionally) distracting.

Edit: also, I had the pleasure of seeing Trent Reznor at a Bridge School Benefit concert many years ago. That concert series was famous for, among other things, acoustic performances, and so it was just Trent and a piano. It is one of the best performances I've ever seen by any musician to date, so I'm not at all surprised he was able to pull off a lot alone.

I think Trent generally does all the music himself in studio as it is done in layers and he retains more control over the finished product, then he tours with musicians and not even the same ones.
