Pretty Hate Machine's pop was very influenced by Prince (Ringfinger even has samples of Prince buried in it) and was virtually stripped away when Reznor took the band on their live tours. I know the inclination is to go to the next Album, The Downward Spiral, but trust me when I say you don't want to skip the Broken EP. It lays the foundation for Nine Inch Nail's 90's sound. As for Reznor's vocal performance, it gets much much better the older he gets. These days it's a very strong baritone, but back in 1989 it was very high pitch and whiny. One critic described it dismissively as "Robert Smith with a head cold" which Reznor wore as a badge of honour because he was such a huge fan of The Cure.

I always heard people say "Pretty Hate Machine" was like a ripoff of Skinny Puppy's music from years earlier, Trent even admits to trying to copy their sound here. But yea, very popular 80s sounds, and his vocals for sure are way more poppy. I do hear the Prince influence too but never thought of that until just now. Great comment dude!

Something I Can Never Have is one of my favorite NIN tracks. The disconnect from the vocals and the music is what helps drive the meaning. Think of the music as the beautiful calm that he wants and his vocals as what he feels. They are never quite in sync, it is something he can never have.

I might be in the minority, but this is still my favourite NIN album. I think I'm nostalgic for that classic industrial/electronic sound, like this, and other bands like Skinny Puppy (one of my all time faves, across all genres), Front Line Assembly, Manufacture, Front 242, KMFDM...later NIN fits closer to the 90s industrial/metal sound, which I also love, but for different reasons. As good as The Downward Spiral is, it's still always felt more cookie cutter to the era, while PHM here felt fresh.

In the 70s and 80s, and even into the early 90s, industrial was an electronic genre.Ministry added guitars starting with The Land of Rape and Honey in 88, and other artists, especially those related to Wax Trax! records in Chicago soon followed suit. Trent was tangetially related to that scene. This scene predates the rise of techno music in Detroit.

The Downward Spiral (his next full-length LP) is Trent's magnum opus, in my opinion, but I think it's important to listen to Broken first, which was an EP that was released between Pretty Hate Machine and Downward Spiral. Broken is almost like Trent intentionally leaving this album as hard as he could at the time, and it wasn't until many years later that he could embrace Pretty Hate Machine again. Then The Downward Spiral came out and completely blew all his prior work out of the water as far as technicality, talent, and range of emotion.

When this album came out I was a young teen and I was into the industrial dance music of the time. This album was definitely the pop version of all of that stuff (Front 242, Ministry, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM). All of those bands were more dance oriented synth bands in the late 80s and all of them brought in crushing metal guitar riffs and samples in the 90s. I remember that this album had a list of artists that inspired the music written inside and the diversity of that list really intrigued me. It included Prince, Public Enemy, the horror writer, Clive Barker, and 4AD band This Mortal Coil. That kind of broad spectrum listening was more representative of me and the people that i was friends with at the time, so it really appealed to me. The "band' NIN at this time was just one person, so the fact that the album meanders between all of the various sounds that it explores makes sense, I suppose. The intro sequencing on the final song on the album, the one that you say has a similar energy to Blue Monday, sounds to me very specifically like a reference to the song Situation by the 80s English synth pop group, Yazoo.

'Pretty hate machine' was recorded after Trent Reznor had spent time on the road w/ industrial metal giants Ministry - they were a huge influence on his music... Richard Patrick (guitar) was an early member of Nine Inch Nails and was featured on this record and the 1992 EP 'Broken'... he had a falling out w/ Reznor around 1993 and split from NIN... Patrick formed his own outfit Filter... and released their first album 'Short bus' in 1995 - their single 'Hey man nice shot'... became a huge hit and the record sold platinum in the US (1 million copies) Nine Inch Nails were NOT a hit out of the gate, even though the music videos of 'Head like a hole'... and 'Down in it'... were on MTV. In 1990, this industrial rock sound was not popular... Guns N' Roses singer W.Axl Rose apparently liked NIN and reportedly had them open for Guns N' Roses around 1991 - it was a disaster... They were booed offstage. 1994 was a pivotal year for Trent Reznor... he signed Marilyn Manson to his then-label Nothing and produced their debut album 'Portrait of an American Family'... and Reznor completed his masterpiece album 'The Downward Spiral'... the NIN single 'Closer' became a huge MTV and radio hit and when NIN appeared on the Woodstock '94 festival soaked in mud, they conquered the stage... The 'industrial revolution' in music had begun as NIN ... Marilyn Manson... Filter ... Rammstein... White Zombie, then Rob Zombie ... Orgy... dominated the 90's. Trent Reznor became a very high profile producer in the 90's - he even worked w/ Rob Halford (Judas Priest singer) on his solo band 2wo, their 1 album 'Voyeurs' in 1998. NIN finally released the double CD 'The Fragile' in 1999 and it sold a million copies w/ a dark sonic array of songs that included - "We're in this together"... 'The day the world went away' ... 'Into the void'...

I think a lot of people skip it because it's a 'remix album', but it's more like industrial legends (including Aussie JG Thirlwell) creating industrial tracks out of the bits of Broken. Then The Downward Spiral. Across these releases spanning their first five years there's a wild progression and I think you'll appreciate them all to varying degrees.

The Broken [E.P.] (particularly with the 2 bonus cuts: the Adam & the Ants cover and the Pigface cover!) definitely amounts to: "a crunchier, 'slashier,' heavier, more "punch-you-in-the-face" sound and recording ...but: without utterly defenestrating melodic sensibility (unnecessarily!). "Wish" and "Last" are the 2 biggest KILLERS on it (and often have shown up in their/his live sets, even in his most recent shows!)! 🤘🤘🔥

As I recall, they had been touring this stuff for a few years before the record [and gaining quite a rep for their live show], and famously took influence from new wave and goth acts like Gary Numan and JoyDivision/New Order, et al, which explains the core of their sound that they still have to this day. I'd seen them at a smallish theater in L.A. like the Roxy or somewhere, and they had a crazy light show of mostly white strobes, and were much harder sounding than this debut. Later saw them at the first Lollapalooza when they were just blowing up huge, and were still way harder than on album. The lead guitarist went on to form the band, Filter [Nice Shot] - but in between that he was the conductor for Cirque du Soleil on the Quiddam tour, which my brother and I worked at on the concessions. He was cool - the band would eat with us in the buffet tent. The industrial scene and the grunge scene in the 90s was a weird point/counterpoint with a lot of crossover, weirdly enough. Interesting times.

Nine Inch Nails' second release, Trent's first EP Broken, is their VERY BEST work. The second album The Downward Spiral, is widely regarded as Trent's masterpiece, but I always prefered Broken, it's very concise, and has some of my very favourite NIN tracks EVER on it, particularly Wish and Gave Up. It is also INDEED a bit more metal-edged, but they've never shed the electronic-strong sound that NIN started with, simply evolving over the years in new and interesting ways. Recently Trent enlisted his good friend and regular collaborator Atticus Ross to become the second full-time member of the band, so NIN is now a two-piece band (at least in the studio), but Trent is still THE MAIN GUY on everything ...

Pretty Hate is kind of an outlier in the NIN discography, but is obviously the base for everything that comes later. As others have said Broken, the EP that followed this was from an entirely different planet. We had no problem playing Pretty Hate in the bookstore that I worked in at the time Broken came out. My coworker picked up broken the day it came out...we were dashing to turn off the CD player after the second stanza due to its heaviness and the lyrics, which were not appropriate while we had customers in the store. NIN has a wide variety of tracks and a discography full of amazing work.

You need to hear The Downward Spiral

If you like the electronic/industrial vibe, I HIGHLY recommend the EP "A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste" or the albums "The Land of R*pe and Honey" or "Psalm 69" by Ministry.

Nice. My favourite NIN album. Reminds me of Skinny Puppy and Nitzer Ebb, which i grew into due to Depeche Mode, due to Bauhaus. NIN after this gets a bit less electronica and more industrial... People tend to rave over Downward Spiral, and it was huge when it came out but, it's... just not quite the same to me.

The difference between PHM and their next EP/album is almost night and day. This album was all Trent Reznor. He recorded all the synthesizes instruments, as well as live ones. He actually hired musicians to record going forward, so they sound more rock. The Broken EP should for sure be the next one you react to.

This album was meant to be played live as it sounds completely different and more intense with the live band

I love your reaction to the first song. I'm not even on shrooms this time.

Love NIN, but Trent was always trying to insert discordance into his music. Those frustrations you feel on first listen about how elements don't seem to match up often become your favorite parts on future listens as some of it clicks onto place. I think he was very good early in his career at making sure his albums had a mix of instant hooks that would keep you coming back to the album, and then over time you would grow to love the songs you liked least, the most. I don't think it would work anymore in a world where singles need to stand on their own.

In 1989, this album kicked ass. An "Industrial" record with actual songs? What has happened over the years, lots of other acts have expanded on this sound so it seems kind of normal. Kind of ho hum. Not then. Also, the amount of samples and loops that are used doesn't seem like anything now, but meshing them together with 80's samplers is a technical feat all of it's own.
