Pros: Classic industrial rock songs; Those who don't like other NIN might like this one Cons: I still like the later stuff better
Many bands struggle to make a great album but eventually release their masterpiece. Many others start strong with an excellent, maybe even classic, album and peter out afterwards. Nine Inch Nails is one of the few rock acts that lays claim to a classic ...
Pros: Production, amazing songs, well ahead of the times... Cons: A few not-quite-classic tracks...
As interest in specific bands and albums ebbs and flows, few modern artists remain on the tip of wagging tongues. In retrospect there have been very few musicians and bands in my life that have resonated as consistently and as perfectly as nine inch...
Pros: Very strong start, very energetic and creative. Cons: A few songs toward the middle kinda not so much.
It was 1995, I believe, and I’d just bought a new computer desk. I remember that very clearly, the desk. It was my first new one since high school, a 3-piece set with a desk, a hutch, and a printer stand. My other purchase that day was PRETTY HATE ...
There it is again. That nagging little piano line, a gentle tease of notes lingering in a wide-open, empty space, at once gentle and piercing, like a whispered threat of violence, like the haunted tolling of a wind chime in a place where nobody ...
Pros: Phenomenal production, Trent's yelps of discontent. Industrial hammered into something accessible. Highly memorable songs. Cons: Fans of later NIN albums might find this a little docile or too cleanly produced.
In the midst of all the Trent Reznor bashing that's been going on of late, I'd like to point out that the man has done some revolutionary things that we ought not to overlook. For instance, he stood up to the Israelis, tried to unite the Arabs under one ...
(Note: Originally done on 7/28/00 but now re-edited and extended.) In the history of rock n’ roll, there have been many great debut albums from bands like the Velvet Underground, the Doors, the Clash, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, N.W.A. and several ...
Pros: One or two tolerable songs, but I'm being generous when I say that Cons: An album that has wizened with age, and is now simply insufferable
Given all of the praise that has been heaped on this album, I feel I must protest against all of the plaudits and the completely baffling amount of 5 star reviews this album has received. When I picked up this solo effort from metal revolutionary Trent ...
Pros: Contains some of Trent's best work. Great Production for it's age. Cons: The second to last song is very weak.
Before The Fragile, before The Downward Spiral, there was the first album of Trent Reznor's genius mind. It was this album, and the 5 year later, Downward Spiral, that brought Industrial into the mainstream world. Overview Until Pretty Hate ...
Pros: Revolutionary sound, nice expression of angry and bitter feelings, catchy songs Cons: Could have been a little edgier in his sound
When I look back at my early reviews, especially those of the albums by Trent and the boys that I love most, I cringe at the sheer lack of detail. That will change, starting with this review and by revising the others as I get the time. I have also ...
Pros: Everything....the beats....the lyrics... Cons: Nothing. Avoid the song "Bandages" by Hot Hot Heat.
Trent Reznor, the one man band with Nine Inch Nails. This guy has put out alot of emotional stuff, and this starts it all. Anger and sadness fill this whole album, with alot of aggression and sorrow feeling and dark moody type stuff. That is what I like...
Pros: Reznor constructs his first masterpiece. Cons: None.
I, like many people who came of age in the 1990s, gravitated towards alternative rock as my main musical choice. I didn't get into the music because it was popular. I liked it because it sounded more real and a lot better than the plastic stuff of pop...
Pros: AN ESSENTIAL RECORD, THAT WAS VERY FAR AHEAD OF ITS TIME. Cons: NONE.
On the eve of Nine Inch Nails returning to NY to play their first shows in quite some time, I feel it is appropriate to revisit my favorite industrial metal record of all time. The reason why "Pretty Hate Machine" is my favorite...
Pros: Tons of replay value; Expressive but not overly "deep"; Very appealing musically Cons: Angsty in the Extreme; Musically much simpler than later work
Pretty Hate Machine is Nine Inch Nails' first album. However, if you don't know this already, Nine Inch Nails is a one-man band, consisting entirely of Trent Reznor. Reznor is a creative genius who went through a lot of phases in...
Pros: Powerful, a must-have classic that inspires me to use terms like must-have and classic Cons: Offensive content and language will bother some people
My old car stereo destroyed all of my tapes. It didn't seem to matter before I got it replaced, even good quality tapes sounded bad and awful sounding was awful sounding. Now, my car contains a fine, German engineered sound system that is too good to...
