Although Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor became the poster boy for industrial rock in the early 1990s, his '89 debut, PRETTY HATE MACHINE, actually has a stronger foothold in '80s synth-pop. The guitar-heavy opener, "Head Like a Hole," is the most aggressive track on the album and proved to be the signature song for Reznor's initial breakthrough, but much of the disc sounds like Depeche Mode in a particularly bad mood.

All of the tracks on PRETTY HATE MACHINE are based on synthesizer lines and programmed beats, with other elements--such as the distinctive bass on "Sanctified" and sampled explosions on "That's What I Get"--filling out the sound. Despite Reznor's morose lyrics, a number of HATE MACHINE's finest moments are energetic dance tunes, particularly "Down in It" and the surging "Sin." Oddly enough, Reznor's fiercer--and seemingly less accessible--subsequent work (the BROKEN EP and THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL) led directly to his mainstream success, but PRETTY HATE MACHINE reveals where the Nine Inch Nails aesthetic started out.

The acclaimed debut album by Trent Reznor & company released in 1989. Pretty Hate Machine contains 10 tracks, including 'Head Like A Hole', 'Sin', 'Terrible Lie' and 'Down In It'. Nothing/Interscope.

Additional personnel includes: Richard Patrick (guitar); Chris Vrenna (drums).

Nine Inch Nails: Trent Reznor (vocals, various instruments).

Q (3/91) - 4 Stars - Excellent "NIN scans the spectrum of modern dance...Reznor's panoramic vision is both admirably adventurous and yet accessible."
Alternative Press (7/95, p.77) - Ranked #7 in AP's list of the 'Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...fulfilled what had merely been the prophetic rumblings of industrial music....before PRETTY HATE MACHINE, [industrial had]...no real messiahs....Reznor assumed that position...with subhuman slips of the tongue and those patented screaming, 'gated' guitars..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.53) - "Fusing huge hooks and a colossal rhythmic punch to desolate lyrics..."

5 stars THIS ALBUM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SOUNDTRACK TO A MOVIE!
this album is so good that it should be a soundtrack to a movie. songs like terrible lie have this aggressive atmosphere to them, ringfinger and down in it are also good. But the best song on the album is head like a hole! i recommend this album to anyone

5 stars As Good As It Gets: NIN Style
Pretty Hate Machine (1989) is one of the best NIN records ever.The album quickly explodes begining with "god money", then moving on to songs with a little more bass like "Down in it" and "Kinda I Want To". The perfection in their music is brought out with the 7th track "Sin", as the many sounds and beats come together in this awesome song. And who could leave out the powerful vocals by Trent Reznor. Slightly techno, a lot hard core, definately Nine Inch Nails.

5 stars Revolutionary
This blows my mind literally when I put and played the CD in my player. Jesus Christ! This puppy is hands down. No doubt about that! It's very new wave-y and dated on this CD but compare it to With Teeth that came out. This was underground whereas With Teeth? It's more produced for the mainstream. He collaborates a multitude here. But I can tell he's a perfectionist to the bone if you listen this and With Teeth altogether. The man should've keep his straps together after releasing this cult classic. Stop drinking, Trent Reznor! I see you!

5 stars Simply Amazing
An alluring and dark tale of betrayl and confusion, lapsed in beatiful symphony and bleak lyrics. This album is simply an amazing peice of art and will continue to inspire generations.
