Nine Inch Nails – Broken (2-CD)

Trent Reznor recorded *Broken* in 1992 as a direct response to his legal battle with TVT Records, and the fury of that fight is audible in every track. The EP established a harsher, more abrasive industrial template that would influence a generation of rock producers, bridging the pop-accessible hooks of *Pretty Hate Machine* with the sonic destruction that *The Downward Spiral* would later perfect.
