Nine Inch Nails-Pretty Hate Machine
Like many music fans, we've become a little jaded. We've heard many songs that sound alike even from different bands. We have our favorite genres and we obsess over them, sometimes rarely reaching out to other ones. Obviously I include myself in this. For too long I listened to just punk and metal. I rarely listened to other genres.
Nine Inch Nails changed that. When they first came out the had a very original sound that unless you were a big fan of industrial alternative, you probably never heard before. Nine Inch Nails has the reputation for being underground but in reality they brought that style to the mainstream. Their album, "Pretty Hate Machine" is a wonderful mix of both the industrial sound combined with alternative. It even sounds a little techno, even though I've only personally heard a little techno.
Reznor has stated before that you can stage dive and mosh to this album, and you certainly can. The best song, "Head Like a Hole" is certainly a moshable song. My issue with Nine Inch Nails is that they always seem to have this need to slow things down and perform a ballad-which they don't need to do. If they focused on what they are good at they'd be even better.
