i never gave it a chance, i admit, i sold it. a decade after his first record, i was tired of his whiny posturing. the instramentals were probably the strong point, but i think Reznor pretty much overproduced the record to death, he didnt have the courage to really go different directions.
i was very disappointed that Reznor still clings to the same whiny adolescent voice that he has for a decade. grow up Trent. i read an short interview awhile ago and he was blaming the media and his record company because the Fragile didnt go multi-platinum. hey, Trent, the Fragile was an overpriced record with no hit singles, that took so long you lost half your audience. and it still probably sold well over half a million in the US. whiny bitch.

I like the fact that it is over produced makes it good. Why is it still considered better if art/music is an organic process. I think it brings an element of craft into music and we should stop judging the contrived elements of music and embrace them.

I hate Fragile with an undying passion. I can't even listen to it. It is one of the most boring if not the most boring releases I have ever had the misfortune of purchasing.
I own pretty much every NIN release up to the Fragile and I really wanted to like it but there was nothing to like about it.

Fragile is great but I admit Trent's refusal to grow and wallowing in angst and self pity is getting tiresome..Musically Fragile is his best work but lyrically..stuff on Pretty Hate Machine had more meaning to me and the lyrics suited the raw frantic electro than Fragile..

It is true that being a millionare rock star, Trent must struggle to be depressed about anything.
My favorite NIN track is still Sin (dub) from the single.

I never got to the second disc of The Fragile. It's not because I didn't like the first one, it's just that 'The great below' leaves me thinking that there's just nothing in there that could top that.
I think it was a bit of a mistake from Trent to put such a strong and emotionally draining track in the middle like that..
Or then again it might be just me being a lazy fuck.

anyway i love the CD, and i think it was worth the wait.....well almost....eheheh
i enjoyed it even more after hearing it LIVE. i don't think it's too depressing or angry like his previous releases, i think it shows a certain maturity. but his voice.....well.....it's not my fav =)

I love Pilgrimage...It's an Awesome instrumental... But Pretty Hate Machine was the best album... I still want to buy the All that Could Have Been DVD, but I need money...
And in response Ubik's comment: I don't understand how he could blame the record company for it not going multi-platinum...It's HIS record company for godsakes. That sounds like he's indirectly insulting himself to me...

his label (nothing) is bitch to the parent company (interscope) which itself is part of a multi-billion dollar global conglomerate. it's not a pretty situation. so nothing can sign whoever they please but they still depend on interscope for funding, and interscope has a different opinion than nothing regarding what music should come out soon. quite honestly it would not surprise me in the least if trent abandons ship and makes nothing an indie label.

it had been my favorite album for more than a year... now i'm not sure, i don't listen to it a lot anymore but everytime i do it i get the same feeling that it's a masterpiece... i love the whole album, and even if it's still NIN every track isn't about hate, sorrow, despair, self-loathing, etc... (ok, i admit many of them do ;)) — the first 3 tracks are the best "introduction" (?) to an album i've ever heard, i really always follow the feelings expressed in these... (anger, than appeasement, then a frail serenity, feeling like you're somewhere else, and stuff)
