Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
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

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.

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...

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.

Edgy and Atmospheric April 16, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

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".
