Pretty Hate Machine
Considered the breakthrough album that delivered a more palatable version of industrial music to the commercial audience, Pretty Hate Machine left its dingy mark on pop culture. The abrasive "sonarchy" of the album was first churned by despondent club-goers who roiled with the rhythms and aligned with the angst-ridden convictions. Since its release, the album's tempered deviations came to signify an aesthetic reverie for machine-driven martyrdom. Permeated by hissing engines and dissonant strains, the tracks cascade outside channels of modern complacency. Hits like "Head Like a Hole" and "Down in It" are recognized by the acidic beats, piercing riffs, and lyrical hostilities which snare the listener with disparaging rhapsody. Not for the light-headed, Pretty Hate Machine afflicts the inner sanctum and strikes a nerve. --Lucas Hilbert

Where it all began
Trent Reznor's first album as Nine Inch Nails and still to this date one of his best pieces of work. I haven't listened to this in such a long time, that I had forgotten just how raw, yet powerful, it was. I highly recommend this album to anyone...

Pounding Rhythms and Angst Ridden Lyrics
Singer Trent Reznor (who pretty much is Nine Inch Nails writing the majority of music and lyrics on the album) made a great album with Pretty Hate Machine. He brought this particular form of harsh industrial dance music into the mainstream....

Fantastic Album
A must for any NIN fan. Not quite as dark as many of Trent Reznor's other albums, it's staccato beats, frenzied synthesizers, and deep lyrics are still blissfully depressing.

Young Trent Reznor, full and engorged on a diet on Ministry, Devo, Depeche Mode and (according to the CD liner notes) Prince and Public Enemy, decided to make the music that really spoke the his angst and general teen-aged misery. On his first...

Thank you god (irony)
Great, great album. The first album from NIN I owned, The Downward Spiral, was a great listen, but I thought it kind of lacked a bit. Pretty Hate Machine lacks nothing. It's got lyrics that you can relate to, great singing, and most of all,...
