Lex always gets it. Industrial Metal is very "machinery" sounding in nature. The best part about it is that Trent Reznor writes and records all the instuments for the records and then has a touring band. You guys recently reacted to the band Filter and their lead singer was a touring guitarist in NIN before he formed Filter. Trent Reznor is a musical genius and a great overall musician. He also produces a lot of other artists records, across many genres. He was the producer of the Crow soundtrack as well, which is one of the greatest soundtracks of all-time. You're also right Brad, this song and album came out in 1989. Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails are still around and touring to this day.

Yeah, this was called Industrial Music. And "that 80s sound" that you are referring to is probably "Synthpop". A great, popular example of Industrial at its most commercial would be "People Are People" by Depeche Mode (1984/US#14). They were a Synthpop act who dabbled in Industrial Music in the mid-90s. As far as when to subdivide decades musically, the 80s really did kick off in 10979, but the 90s didn't really have a distinct music al identity until 1992, when Nirvana changed Rock overnight and Dr. Dre changed Hip-Hop overnight. New Jack Swing and Heavy Metal died a slow death in the 90s as Grunge and G-Funk took over. And that's when Industrial Music morphed toward Industrial Metal, too. Previously, it was more of a cousin to the whole Synthpop/Postpunk/Goth thing, but in the 90s it became one of the only hip places for Metal to exist in the margins. But yeah, musically, the early 90s were full of leftover ideas from the late 80s, like New Jack Swing, Hair Metal, 80s Popstars, Pop House, Indie Dance, and Goth. By the mid-90s, most of those genres were dead or on life support, replaced by Gangsta Rap, Alternative Rock, 90s R&B stars, Eurobeat, Britpop, Indie Rock, and Electronica. And Nine Inch Nails moved more toward Heavy Rock and Guitar sounds for most of the 90s, and further away from the machine samples and synthesizers after "Head Like a Hole' and their early stuff.

Terrible Lie and Down In It were both great songs on this album, too. NIN is amazing live as well. I prefer live videos either from Woodstock or during their touring between 2005 and 2007 when they had Josh Freese on drums and Aaron North on lead guitar. GREAT energy!

“It’s like a blurred line,” says Brad. Me, “YES!,” but it also depends on the genre, some genres are on an upswing or a downswing or plateauing. For instance: Punk, that’s 1977, right? But it’s already on a downward, ebbing away by 1980. Post-Punk bands, despite the genre’s name, coincided with Punk in 1977-Siouxsie & The Banshees and Joy Division being two of the most famous of the genre, and direct responses to Punk. But some bands that are well-known contributors to Post-Punk, like Pere Ubu already existed by ‘77 and took inspiration from genres like Musique Concrete, (an Industrial subgenre-I don’t think “Industrial” had been labeled that yet. Most genres get named by the music press, some bozo writes an article and uses the term “NuJazz,” and then another bozo writes an article using “NuMetal,” and so on.) Nine Inch Nails’ debut “Head Like A Hole,” released in 1989, and at the same time “Feurio!,” by the German band Einstürzende Neubauten is also released, off their 5th studio album, Haus der Lüge. Einstürzende Neubauten, (“Collapsing New Buildings,” in English,) is perhaps the most famous band out of the Industrial scene, pre-Nine Inch Nails/aside from Nine Inch Nails. But, perhaps, the most prolific Industrial band is born out of a middle-of-nowhere city in the north of England in 1975, Throbbing Gristle. Though this band has released about as many albums as Neubauten, TG has spawned new projects and bands out of its own members and its inspiration. This is where we introduce you to the band Coil, as well as others, PsychicTV being probably the most popular. Finally, Foetus. Cannot talk about Industrial without bringing up the man who scoffs at that genre label and rails against what I just did by assigning it to him, J.G. Thirlwell. Thirlwell, the man who brought you the soundtrack for The Venture Bros. is also a key figure in Industrial music, (he may also be the most talented and diverse figure in the scene as well. Some of these acts bang pots & pans because that’s all they’re capable of doing while others do it as an extension of what they can already do, Thirlwell is of the latter.)

"Industrial" is literally the musical genre that NIN is usually considered. Your description is spot on. Industrial is sort of a bridging point between electronic music and metal and the more aggressive forms of rock (having subgenres such as electro-industrial, industrial rock and industrial metal). It blends the techniques of electronic music (synths, sampling) and the aggression and often guitars (sometimes sampled and synthesized) of heavy music styles. You might have harsh guitars and a heavy drum machine beat and sound sampling for example. You can sort of think of it as one of the most outright aggressive flavours of electronic music or the arguably the most danceable forms of metal and post-punk. Industrial is the genre that you can play in a nightclub to get people moving or play at an open air concert and get a mosh pit going. Hell, if you are in the right kind of club, the dance floor turns into a mosh pit when a suitably aggressive industrial track comes on. I have fond memories of hitting the dance floor to songs like Ministry's "Just One Fix" in my youth (which in its own way is just as aggressive a song about drugs as Master of Puppets)

Pretty Hate Machine is a fantastic album! I finally got to see NIN live a few years ago when they were in Boston and they were awesome!. I had to wait 10 hours in line because they only wanted to sell tickets at the venue so the aftermarket ticket business's couldn't by all the tickets up. I ended up seeing them back to back nights and they had 2 different set lists which is uncommon from most bands on a tour.

I LOVE the observation by Lex about the feathering of culture from one definitive decade to the next and the bulk of what we recognize as "80s" or "90s" is more like 77 - 86, 87 - 96. Rather astute.

While it's a Joy Division cover, you should react to Dead Souls from The Crow soundtrack, one of my favorite NIN songs. I'd also recommend Reptile, March of the Pigs, and The Perfect Drug.

There is a band from New Zealand that took its name from this song. They were an amazing live band..., They'd play naked and from time to time do something crazy! They even did the best cover of a U2 song that's ever been released! Check them out!

I have a very clear memory of listening to this song/album in my mom's car on CASSETTE and actually understanding this song at about 6 years old... it was invigorating. I still let my 80s goth mom know that she better thank all that I didn't end up a serial killer with the influences I was under 🤣 NIN is a staple of my childhood, for better or worse🖤

I saw them play this song live at Universal Ampitheatre in Los Angeles sometime in the early 90's. The song from 1990. Trent can sing, he sounded just like this. He and bassist with the mohawk were tackling each other for much of the show, how they managed keep playing was a miracle!
