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 Top 10 of all time for me
This is one of only very few albums I'd "take to my grave". That's how important it is to me. The best Reznor has put out amongst a wonderful portfolio of music for two decades. As an artist, Reznor is a pure genius. No other way to put it. This is an essential album to have and explore.

5 stars Brilliance
All I got to say is, what a way to start a career! PHM is one of the most brilliant albums I've ever heard. All of Trent's work is amazing. From Head Like a Hole to Ringfinger, you won't want it to stop. My only gripe is the 10 tracks. C'mon Trent, give us 14 or 26!! Best Tracks are Head Like A Hole, Terrible Lie, Down in It, Something I Can Never Have, and Sin. By the way, this is not music. It is art!

Lady Gaga Fame Monster CDs  (2009) Deluxe Edition

Pretty Hate Machine album
CD $16.00  SALE 5 stars Top 100
Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, perverse march "Teeth." Even the stuttering splices on "Telephone," a duet with Beyoncé, leans to the other side of the Atlantic, which just emphasizes the otherness that's become Gaga's calling card. And even as she's becoming omnipresent, with her songs mingling with those who co-opt her on the radio, she still is slightly skewed, willing to go so far over the top she goes beyond camp, yet still channeling it through songs that are written, not just hooks. The Fame Monster builds upon those strengths exhibited on The ...

CD $14.44  SALE Top 100
Unlike previous entries in Neil Young's Archives series, Dreamin' Man Live '92 does not capture a specific gig. Instead, it's a compilation of highlights from the tour he took prior to recording Harvest Moon, as he aired the album's ten songs alone with his guitar (or on one occasion each, his piano and banjo). Although every one of the album's cuts is here, this isn't a strict re-creation of the album, since the songs are sequenced ...

Mariah Carey Merry Christmas CD  (1994)

Pretty Hate Machine music CDs
CD $8.75  4.4 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs. She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their own. Her "Silent Night" shows off a studied vocalization where liquid phrasing is key. "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" shows off a dynamic voice that is hard to match. She has fun with the Phil Spector goodie "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," a song straight out of '60s girl-group heaven. There is even a "Joy To The World" medley mixing the old and the new--the traditional Christmas song and the Three Dog Night hit. And, as usual, her gospel-voiced background singers are out in full force. There are two ways to enjoy this album. One is to sit back and revel in Mariah Carey's vocal fireworks, and the ...

Kiss Sonic Boom CDs  (2009)

Pretty Hate Machine songs
CD $16.09  4.9 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
When SONIC BOOM was released, it had been over a decade since the last Kiss studio album, so expectations were understandably high. In addition, the intervening period had seen the band fire two of its founding members for the second time, only to replace them with sidemen wearing Ace Frehley and Peter Criss's iconic makeup. Luckily, the new additions, unlike some of Kiss's "un-masked years" members, have a good feel for classic Kiss. That fact, matched with Paul Stanley's assumption of production duties, makes SONIC BOOM one of the most consistent and thoroughly Kiss-sounding albums since the group's `70s heyday. That said, the New York City unit manages to branch out a bit; alongside very ROCK & ROLL OVER/LOVE GUN-esque tracks such as the Gene Simmons-sung rockers "Yes I Know (Nobody's Perfect)" and "Russian Roulette," sit ambitious pieces such as "Stand," which employs a Motown-influenced chorus melody, ...

CD $5.49  SALE 4.9 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
OFF THE WALL remaster contains previously unreleased demos and commentary by producer Quincy Jones and songwriter Rod Temperton. Recorded in Los Angeles, California between 1978 & 1979. Originally released on Epic (35745). Digitally remastered by Bernie Grundman (Bernie Grundman Mastering, Los Angeles, California). As the lead singer of the Jackson 5, Michael Jackson had already been labeled a legend at a young age; but OFF THE WALL introduced the world to the adult Michael Jackson, and proved that he was still very much worthy of that label. It was the real beginning for Michael as a solo artist, and opened the doors for his next album THRILLER, which would become the greatest selling album of all time and help foist upon a Jackson a new title: King Of Pop. Under the supervision of Quincy Jones, OFF THE WALL illustrated some of Jackson's most soulful material. ...
