Changes

Reznor became engaged in several disputes with TVT records which resulted in the secret recording of the angst-filled ''Broken'' EP. The label forced Reznor to work with producers he did not want to work with (specifically John Fryer, whom Reznor didn't get along with) and released ''[[Down In It (halo)|Down In It]]'' as NIN's first commercial single. The version of "Down In It" which appeared on the album was not the completed version Reznor wanted on it but a remix done by Adrian Sherwood and Keith LeBlanc, two of the producers involved with ''Pretty Hate Machine'', which also appeared on the single. Reznor has also stated in interviews that the record label called ''Pretty Hate Machine'' a "complete abortion" and paid little attention to [[Nine Inch Nails]] until the band started getting popular.
