Pretty Hate Machine (1988)
Not a big Nine Inch Nails fan, here. I was, when this was the entirety of their catalog, oh so many moons ago. But their later output never really struck any chords with me. Personally, I think Trent Reznor is vastly overrated in the long haul, but he’ll survive. He looks good and there’s always a whole new group of angst-ridden teens at the ready for his product.
