"Halo numbers are a system by which official Nine Inch Nails releases are chonologically ordered. They correspond to the sequence in which the releases were made, and are named by the word "Halo," which precedes the number on the release. For example, the fifth Nine Inch Nails release, Broken, is identified with the phrase "Halo Five.""

So, The Downward Spiral's Halo number is 8. That's why I chose the title. It's not very originally, but that's the title I always have used when I spoke about the album. Like many other fans I don't know every record name that belongs to every Halo number by memory, but every NIN fan knows immediately wich album is meant with "Halo 8".
