Pretty Hate Machine is the first album by Nine Inch Nails, released in 1989. Trent Reznor delivers here a raw, punchy record, with mostly electronic sounds and not necessarily very accessible on first listens. Now multi-platinum, this debut album has become a great classic of alternative music. Several tracks such as Head Like a Hole or Sin are still played in concert and are an integral part of the Nine Inch Nails machine.
