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

3 out of 5 stars Standing Adjacent to the Grand Spiral   November 5, 2008
The only reason I chose not to rate this any higher is simply because Reznor has come out with albums at least two stars better than this -namely The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. Standing next to these albums this EP can only earnestly reach as far as three, maybe four, stars. At no point is Broken disappointing but also at no point is it as majestic as the forementioned albums. Definately a strong footnote in the scheme of all things Nine Inch Nails. However I personally overlook Broken when I think about or want to listen to a good Nine Inch Nails record. The reason being I find myself only listening to the best of what particular bands produce and there's so much great music out there. But if you have a profound appriciation for NIN then pick this up; it's certainly a tenacious escort to their fame.


4 out of 5 stars NIN's sharpest attack   October 6, 2008

Classic stop-gap between two classic electronic releases, Broken helped balance out PHM's synthy-pop with DS's experimental terror in equal measure.


5 out of 5 stars Trent rocks!   June 12, 2008

I love this record!!!! Broken is probably the most aggressive NIN album yet made...verry hard hitting angry industrial metal. As always the music is amazing, verry well composed, NIN truly is an exceptional artist.

A big change from the previous CD, and what a change it is! Those who like metal and industrial are in for a treat! Too bad the CD isn't longer...


5 out of 5 stars The evolution of Industrial metal   May 2, 2008

The continued evolution of the Master of Industrial Music continues in a Faster, and Harder way than Pretty hate machine. The 2nd studio release from Nine Inch Nails who is really one man Trent Reznor.
