Masterpiece
I stumbled on this album after my boyfriend in college got me hooked on Downward Spiral, which is much more raw and hard. I love that cd as well, but when I got this cd, I was hooked. One reviewer was right, I was instantly possessed by this record and played this cd until it broke and I had to buy another one. I was in my last year of college, driving an hour back and forth from home, and this was constantly on my stereo. I honestly can't tell you which song is my favorite because I believe that all of them tell a story together. The sounds are so layered, so that each time you listen, you hear something else in the song you hadn't noticed before. When I put this in my stereo, I can't hit shuffle or skip past any song. once I have it in, even if i am craving only a particular song, I end up listening to the entire thing because i can't just listen to one song.
This is not a hard nine inch nails album, but this is the root of where he started. I am married now, and I played this album for my husband, and he was amazed because he thought that NIN was something different. He only knew Closer, Head like a Hole, Hurt and Perfect Drug. I love all of those songs, but they do nothing to showcase the sheer talent that Trent Reznor possesses. It amazes me that he created this as his first album, and demo really, playing all of the instruments himself. I dont' care if someone doesn't like NIN, no one can say he is untalented!
Love me some NiN!
So much better when the dude was on drugs... this is the reflections of brilliant and intricate mind amplified by 2000% on LSD! New NiN just isn't the same as this album.
This is the cd that started my love afair with nine inch nails.
Have you ever listen to a CD years after you bought it and wondered what the hell was I thinking? Well this is not one of those CD's I still listen to it and it rocks just as much as it did when I first listened to it. If you are interested in nine inch nails this is a good CD to start with
NIN Halo 2 - Pretty Hate Machine
Gah, words can't describe this album, besides awesome and ground breaking. This was the first LP release from Trent Reznor which put NIN on the map and brought Industrial Rock to the mainstream in the America . Possibly one of the best NIN albums, put I don't know about all that. Released in 1989 with singles from the album in 1988 and 1990... no doubt about it amazing album. Anyone who likes electronica should check this album out...and pretty much every NIN album.
Honesty
This I would have to say is there best album ever!!! This is what NIN was all about, not that popy crap you here now, if you want popy crap go listen to Justin Temberlake and die, and stop ruining good bands like these to go gay. This and Downward spiral are there best, must own, if you have emotions you would agree and love this, thank you Hope to help.
