nine inch nails - pretty hate machine, the downward spiral

(going to see them tonight. trent is one of the greatest to ever do it)
The album covers; Pretty Hate Machine features distorted art of ??? something ??? set against a pure black background. the downward spiral is more of an abstract painting in sandy earth tones. Also something I can't describe too well sorry!
