On the first episode of Before The Stream, host Jason Bemis Lawrence and his guest Natasha Alexandra (NLX) talk about Nine Inch Nail's debut album Pretty Hate Machine. They discuss their memories of first listening to the album, what has aged well, what hasn't, NIN's live show, and the validity of various reviews of the album.  Should we be listening closely to the lyrics? Which of Trent Reznor's talents were evident from the very beginning and which ones took some bumbling to realize?  Natasha can be found at nlxmusic.com and soundsentiments.com   Please rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!
