Description

Nine Inch Nails: Trent Reznor (vocals, various instruments). Additional personnel includes: Richard Patrick (guitar); Chris Vrenna (drums). There are lyrics on Nine Inch Nails' 1989 debut album which you wouldn't want your children to recite and Trent Reznor, good looks notwithstanding, is hardly the sort you'd invite round to meet your parents. On this Reznor's despair, self-loathing and anxiety are animated by a fearful barrage of bone-crunching industrial noise. Parts of "Something I Can Never Have," for example, could teach Motorhead a thing or two about the power riff. It's not all jet-propelled hate and fury, however, with varied producers (Flood, Adrian Sherwood, Keith LeBlanc) all bringing something new to the table. And if Reznor's nihilism clouds proceedings, his vitriol nevertheless produces some spectacular moments - "Head Like A Hole," "Sin" and "Ring Finger" being prime examples.

Press Reviews

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... Alternative Press (7/95, p.77)

4 Stars - Excellent "NIN scans the spectrum of modern dance...Reznor's panoramic vision is both admirably adventurous and yet accessible. Q (3/91)
