Which Nine Inch Nails album includes the songs “Hurt” and “Closer”?

The Nine Inch Nails album that includes “Hurt” and “Closer” is The Downward Spiral.

The Downward Spiral was released on March 8, 1994, as Nine Inch Nails’ second studio album. Trent Reznor wrote and produced the record, which combines industrial rock, electronic programming, heavy guitars, and intensely dramatic vocals.

“Closer” became one of the group’s best-known songs, while “Hurt” later gained additional recognition through Johnny Cash’s 2002 recording.

Nine Inch Nails’ debut album, Pretty Hate Machine, came out in 1989, five years earlier.
