Boy that's too bad. I'd really like to hear a remastered and redone Pretty Hate Machine with extra tracks.


Why didn't Trent just buy it when it came up for sale at auction? Surely he has the money now...

One question--Will it be issued in one of those damned green jewel cases?

A 5.1 version would kick ass. Even though I don't have 5.1.

Suck.

Am I the only person who has hated this album since its release?

I wouldn't say I hate it, but I definitely don't like it.

I think Broken, Fixed, TDS, and The Fragile are brilliant, With Teeth is great, and Trent did an amazing job of putting together the Lost Highway soundtrack ("The Perfect Drug" is a perfect pop song), but Pretty Hate Machine is the only NIN album I don't listen to that much.

It's an interesting album for its historical value in the industrial genre, but I think Trent's progressed so much beyond the style on PHM that I'd probably only listen to it once a year at most. However, many of the songs sound really bad ass live.

As a side note, I remember some of the band members saying (humorously) that they refuse to perform "Kinda I Want To" live under any condition.

Poor, poor, wittle ol' whiney Trent

I love his music, but he sure does whine.

I'll admit that Trent can be whiney, but to his credit, if my debut album was getting shuffled around the way PHM has been - I'd probably whine a bit myself.

I've never really cared for any of the NIN I've heard. Just not my thing.

And you guys know there's gonna be a fancypants version of this in a couple years...they wanna make sure everyone buys this edition before announcing it, though.

Memories, I saw this tour when they opened up for Jane's Addiction on January 31, 1991. Wasn’t that excited about it because I was changing my musical style from Joy Division to the Stone Roses. Going to Raves on the weekend and totally destroying myself, would not change a thing!

One of the best double bills I have ever seen. NIN had so much passion and energy that they totally transfixed the audience. There just seem to be no way possible a band could follow that show. Especially since the last time I saw Jane's at the legendary Scream club Perry was so full of speed that he climbed the walls using the stage curtain. Speaking of, did any of you Los Angeles people ever go to the Scream club? In fact the movie Less Than Zero tried to recreate that very club but there was a lot more sex and other things going on in real life. It still ranks as one of the most interesting club experiences I have ever been to. They had to move and had Scream 2 at the Park Plaza where the best band I saw was the Sugarcubes play a show that started about 1 A.M. Oh Los Angeles what a unique experience growing up here provided and people make fun, whatever. Anyways Jane's Addiction didn't disappoint and when they played a 20-minute version of "Three Days" they blew the roof off that place. I grew to respect drumming that night like never before and seeing them live you realize they were no heavy metal band.

Well, I'm going to specifically avoid buying this album, so that Ryko rethinks their decision not to pay Trent to remix it.

And I'm guessing they did offer him something, just...not enough.
