The guitar-heavy opener, \"Head Like a Hole,\" is the most aggressive track on the album and proved to be the signature song for Reznor's initial breakthrough, but much of the disc sounds like Depeche Mode in a particularly bad mood.\u003cbr\u003eAll of the tracks on PRETTY HATE MACHINE are based on synthesizer lines and programmed beats, with other elements--such as the distinctive bass on \"Sanctified\" and sampled explosions on \"That's What I Get\"--filling out the sound. Despite Reznor's morose lyrics, a number of HATE MACHINE's finest moments are energetic dance tunes, particularly \"Down in It\" and the surging \"Sin.\" Oddly enough, Reznor's fiercer--and seemingly less accessible--subsequent work (the BROKEN EP and THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL) led directly to his mainstream success, but PRETTY HATE MACHINE reveals where the Nine Inch Nails aesthetic started out.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45407294619935,"sku":"602527746999","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/00bdc44b8946411990b6097c054d6c10.jpg?v=1777678899","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/pretty-hate-machine","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
