Anger, apathy, and the hopeless hidden cry for help. This is why Trent Reznor's dance-like debut is much more than it seems. Filled with 80's snyth hooks and underground portentous feelings, Pretty Hate Machine is one of the most serious lyrical albums I've ever heard, and it hits home and the soul, especially when you can't even feel it. Suffering faith, loss of hope and a love that feels lost are all put into an album that defies what we cant say or express ourselves. Sometimes we fall so low in life that we just lose everything, and this album is exactly that. |
