==Reissue== ''Pretty Hate Machine'' went [[out of print]] through TVT, but was reissued by [[Rykodisc]] on November 22, 2005, with slightly modified packaging. Reznor had expressed interest in making a deluxe edition with [[surround sound]] remastering and new remixes, similar to the rerelease of ''[[The Downward Spiral]]''. Rykodisc initially accepted the idea, but wanted Reznor to pay the production costs.<ref name="TRtalksaboutPHMr">{{cite web|title=News about Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor at The NIN Hotline|url=http://www.theninhotline.net/news/archives/backissue.php?y=05&m=11#1131469248|website=www.theninhotline.net|access-date=June 29, 2017}}</ref> On March 29, 2010, the recording rights to ''Pretty Hate Machine'' were acquired by the [[Bicycle Music Company]] and on October 22, 2010, Reznor announced that a remastered edition would be released the following month. The remaster included new cover art by [[Rob Sheridan]] and the bonus track "[[Get Down, Make Love]]", a [[Queen (band)|Queen]] cover originally from the "[[Sin (Nine Inch Nails song)|Sin]]" single.<ref name="remaster">{{cite web|url=http://www.bicyclemusic.com/downloads/PHM%20Press%20Release.pdf|title=Pretty Hate Machine: Nine Inch Nails' Groundbreaking Debut Album Remastered And Re-Released On November 22, 2010|publisher=[[Bicycle Music Company]]|date=October 26, 2010|access-date=February 2, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304033536/http://www.bicyclemusic.com/downloads/PHM%20Press%20Release.pdf|archive-date=March 4, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> The 2010 reissue was [[mastered]] by Tom Baker at the Precision Mastering in Hollywood, California.<ref name="remaster" /> "''PHM 2.0'' is far brighter and clearer than its original incarnation," observed ''[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]]'', "but ultimately it's the strength of the songwriting… that shines through. Although that said, a super bass beef-up job on an already infamous cover of Queen's 'Get Down, Make Love' ups the sleaze 'n' grind quotient no end."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Yates|first=Catherine|title=The hard stuff: Reissues|magazine=[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]]|location=Bath|issue=155|date=March 2011|page=98}}</ref> Before the album's rerelease, a fan website was launched featuring touring information for ''Pretty Hate Machine'', the videos for "Head Like a Hole" and "Down in It" (with remastered sound), the uncut video for "Sin" (a remix for the video was used) and two early live segments, one with interviews.
