content: This album reflects the sound of late 80's music, Although many people think that 80's music wasn't that appealing, this album is a acception of that belief. It projects into the sound of early 90's industrial/electronic music. Reznor's early work "Pretty Hate Machine," is one of his best, it leads into his EP "Broken" and also gives us a taste of "The Downward Spiral." NIN's first Album is a must buy!
