Each album's quite different to the last, but all within an alt metal/industrial/synth genre of sorts.

I like the odd stuff, but doesn't quite work for me all the time.

All their albums (except Ghosts and arguably Pretty Hate Machine) have faster songs. I'd say With Teeth is their more accessible album, Broken has their hardest songs, and The Downward Spiral is probably their best. Year Zero is interesting, more computer/synth based, and has some great songs on.

I know Pretty Hate Machine well, but it is a little too electronic for my tastes (or for my 18 year old taste anyway, so I'll give it another go)
I'm working on getting the others. DLed the new one off the website the other day and am liking that.

Feels a little thrown together as an album, not very cohesive, but it was released for free so I can't complain!

Though less a fan of '80s-sounding' synths, which PHM is full of, but somehow it still works on that album. Maybe give Broken or The Downward Spiral a listen?

I have Downward Spiral and With Teeth, so I'll lock myself in a cupbaord and lisetn to them until I like them god dmmit!

With Teeth less so, but it's still made in an order that flows, if that doesn't sound too wanky.

Lateralus is made to be listened to after you have rearranged it in accordance with a Fibonacci spiral. Now that is wanky. But I love it.
