| Professional Review: |
| As a placeholder between the full-length Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral, Broken packs a serious punch. Angrier and less poppy than Machine, this EP is full of noisy hooks, if such a thing is possible (check out that guitar riff on the full-throttle "Wish"), and much closer aesthetically to the industrial subgenre that informs Trent Reznor's music. As song titles like "Help Me I Am in Hell" suggest, Broken is a work of undiluted rage, which is, of course, a big part of its appeal. --Genevieve Williams |

Summary: Edgy and Atmospheric This thirty minute E.P was released by Trent Reznor after a long battle with record company troubles. His bitter anger and frustrations about the whole situation is definitely apparent on the album/EP. Reznor's music is still edgy and atmospheric in the industrial/synth/dance vein but "Broken" is more straightforward and melodic than previous Nine Inch Nails releases. While I miss the angst of songs like "Head Like A Hole" from Pretty Hate Machine most of what you hear on "Broken" is still great. Songs like "Pinion", "Help Me I Am In Hell" and "Happiness In Slavery" have the hard pounding dance beats that are expected from Nine Inch Nails. It also includes two instrumental interludes "Wish" and "Gave Up". Summary: BROKEN DISC When my product arrived, it was shrink-wrapped, and brand new. When i opened it, I found a BROKEN CD!! I suspect that they are all the same. Summary: Short but packs a serious punch! Broken is the EP that serves as the bridge between Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral, and yet it really stands out as a great CD on its own. While there are still some nice grooves remniscent of Pretty Hate Machine, the sound of it is much closer to the dark, angry sound found on Spiral. This is where Trent Reznor started to get pissed, and at the time of its release, Broken really served as an accurate preview of things to come from the man. Short and sweet, just about all the cuts here are good and at least three of them remain in the live set to this day. My only complaint is that it's just a little too short, but it's a flaw that can be easily overlooked. It is an EP afterall, and it does what an EP should do: Leaves you wanting more. So I highly recommend picking this one up especially if you loved The Downward Spiral. Enjoy! Summary: Perfect Chaos This disc is perfectly chaotic. I loved it when I had it on tape and had to sit through endless silence to get to the "hidden tracks," and I love it now 15 years later. The emotion is raw, the anger is clear and the sound is tight. This is a perfect reflection of when things go to @#$%. Summary: My favorite NIN cd Well... it's a different NIN from the Trent Reznor of Pretty Hate Machine. He's got a band now. He's still tortured, angry & masochistic, but now there are other guys there, & the arrangement is, well, maybe more balanced. I can listen to "Physical" all day; the grab-your-scrote groove is simply luxurious. No, I don't have one, but still. Pretty Hate Machine was revelational, but Broken is simply pleasurable. |
