Pretty Hate Machine (2010 Remaster)

I haven't seen a thread about this anywhere so I thought I would talk about it

 

One of my favourite albums of all time, Pretty Hate Machine, originally released in 1989 just got remastered. It's hard to choose a favourite NIN album since they all seem to have their own special character (at least the first 3 or 4) but I can say that this one has a special place in my heart. I'm sure there's a bunch of NIN enthusiasts here and I would love to talk about this remaster.

 

First of all, I don't own expensive equipment, my listens consisted of a Cowon D2+ paired up with some YUIN Pk2s. Even with non-audiophile equipment, the differences with the original are very clear. The remaster sounds fuller, bigger, much clearer than the original. I find myself noticing little details that where very hard to find in the original, at least with my setup.

 

Finally, the reissue comes with a cover of Queen's Get Down, Make Love. If you're into industrial rock or synthpop at all I highly recomend this album. I already have the original but I'm getting the vinyl of the remaster for xmas.

Thanks for letting us know. I love this album and unless you had posted the remaster over here, I would never had known. This is awesome, going to pick a copy up asap

A classic. My favorite NIN album. I still listen to it once in a while to blow off some steam, but my music taste has definitely gone softer over the years.

I read one for, one against. Can we get a tiebreaker?

Can we get a Audacity Screen Shot so we can judge for ourselves?

Argh. I was hoping for something around the same quality as the SACD release of "Downward Spiral."
