    Incredible debut album that has stood the test of time and started it all. Head Like A Hole rocks and Something I Can Never Have gives you chills.

    A classic. A Masterpiece. Pretty Hate Machine is Trent Reznor himself..

    electronic music at its best! trent reznor will suck you in with his haunting lyrics, wicked melodies and sick beats. and this album has one of my all time favorite NIN songs, Ringfinger.

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.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
