Editorial Review: Album Description: Unavailable domestically for a number of years and with his new album 'With Teeth' due at the end of April, there is bound to be renewed interest in his ground-breaking debut. Originally released in 1989, this Interscope Import version features the same 10 tracks as the TVT edition. Includes the singles, 'Head Like A Hole', 'Sin' and 'Down In It'. Nothing/Interscope. Amazon.com essential recording: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Exploration of Mainstream Music: Subject B: NIN: Album #1: Pretty Hate Machine: Thoughts: Neither like nor hate......after spending a week listening to four Slipknot albums to see what all the fuss was about their mainstream phenomena I realised that most of the time they were reliant on a heavy and repetitive formula at which they only managed to stand out when they were either technically or melodically sufficient... ...now as long as I've known most industrial music has had plenty of repetition to represent the dancey electronica side of them and combining this idea with industrial sounds and ... Read More Rating: - As meaningful a modern rock debut as anything elseAdmittedly I am more a fan of the sound's NIN cultivated post-Broken, but it is near impossible to deny PHM's influence and simple solidness. Reznor delivers the undeniable pop-industrial masterwork via ten air-tight, thoughtfully produced tracks with no filler and a simple desire to merge innovation and catchiness with ease. Rating:  - Hard, yet so poeticThe first time I heard Trent Reznor and NIN, he was still opening for other bands. All I can say is: WOW. This was LIVE industrial music, so good that it didn't need a studio to clean it up. What others have written about this being the most "pop-like" album is true, but that's only in relative terms. It's definitely not top-40 material. The subject matter is classic for this kind of music (heartbreak, bitterness, anger), but different from the old-school industrial 80's sound. I felt a lot of ... Read More Rating: - Where it all beganTrent 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 curious about NIN. I think it speaks volume of Reznor's head space at this time in his life. He has really grown as a person, his music reflects that growth, but the depth of his older work still rings true today. This album really helped put industrial ... Read More Rating: - Pounding Rhythms and Angst Ridden LyricsSinger 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. Singles "Head Like A Hole" and "Terrible Lie" became immediate underground classics, still played on the dance floors of clubs year after year. I still see strippers dancing to it in the local strip clubs or should I say "gentlemen's clubs". Pretty Hate ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
