There's something kind of amusing (if a bit sad too) seeing the "special thanks" to tvt, considering what would happen afterwards. -
I'm a big Front Line Assembly & Skinny Puppy fan. I like NIN but only from "Pretty Hate Machine" to "The Perfect Drug" Versions. Is it just me but does this release (original 1989) sound way better than anything from FLA up to "Tactical Neural Implant" and even possibly "Millennium"? Again compared to SP in 1989, this sounds to me much better! Equipment? Engineering? For lack of better word, this album simply sounds more "professional".
When I first heard "PHM", I kept checking the release date to make sure that it indeed came from the 80's (albeit, very late). It sounded way ahead of its time to me. Still does, in fact. Although, truth be told, I'm neither an audiophile, recording expert nor very knowledgeable about electronic music production. Still... -
This is easily one of Trent's best albums. In fact, this was my favorite for many years until The Fragile was released. Disregard any remarks about "80s, synth or cheese." The songs on here are great. It doesn't matter what year or what particular instrument was used when the songs were created. This is not as revolutionary as The Downward Spiral or The Fragile, but it still stands out as a fine piece of work 5/5

Edited 19 years agoThe first industrial album to hit the mainstream, Nine Inch Nails' PRETTY HATE MACHINE, keeps the dance beats going, but adds an element of teenage angst to the lyrics -- which goes a long way in explaining its popularity. Clubs in the early 90s couldn't escape "Head Like a Hole" or, to a lesser extent, "Down In It." Nonetheless, the album has a melodic appeal that matches its pain-ridden lyrics, whether the rough, down-on-my-knees scream of "Terrible Lie" or the gentle piano and anguish on "Something I Can Never Have." The danciness recurs on "Sin" and "The Only Time" makes a case for funk-industrial, but the closer, "Ringfinger," brings back the beat. Ah, the good old days.
