Bought this album yesterday and I love it, especially "the great below", "just like you imagined", "we're in this together", "la mer" etc. This is probably a lame topic but I wanted to share this :) |
||||||||

|
Good tracks indeed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer left (CD1) over right (CD2) though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about "into the void" and "please" ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

it's my favourite album ever for several years now, this one. i don't listen to it every often though... but in the night for concentrate listening, especially when you're in a frustrated mood at first it's bliss : ) (on a casual 'background' listening it doesn't work.) 'Somewhat Damaged' works like a catharsis, then 'The Day The Word Went Away' brings you back to peace, and then 'The Frail' is the beauty and little sadness afterwards. then there is all the rest of the album - not one track i skip (though 'Starfuckers inc.' is quite commercial and out of place...). |

what do you think about the tracks I mentioned? I agree with you, this album is best out loud when feeling sad/angry/frustrated :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what do you think about the tracks I mentioned? i love them ^^ and the ones Dael mentioned too. one funny thing also with this album, is that it's the only place 'The Day The World Went Away' really fits in my opinion... it's a great song within The Fragile, but when listened alone, or in another album (like on the live, And All That Could Have Been) it lacks effect. |
||||||||

|
|
though 'Starfuckers inc.' is quite commercial and out of place...). distorted about this one...got sick over the weak ass mixes on TFA. but i feel that one can tell that he wrote this track apart form the rest. havent listened to the abulm in LONG time, but just like you imagined is the shit! |
||||||||

cd left(1) is better, it flows together more but its a shame since theyres some awesome stuff on cd right(2) but starfuckers and a few other tracks ruin the flow and the overall excellence. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've always liked cd2 better. better songs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
somewhat damaged was my theme song for a good long time. the fragile is a wonderful album. i wonder what mr. reznor is up to these days...hopefully it won't be another 4 years or something until his next release (it was something like 6 years between the downward spiral and this guy, right? maybe?) |

La mer is amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, this album is awesome. i like cd2 more than cd1, though. the remix album, "Things Falling Apart" is also really excellent. it's at least as good as The Fragile, i think. |
||||||||
|
|

The Fragile is an amazing piece of art and music in one. I can't choose one disc over the other, though. "The Way Out is Through" is one of the best openers ever. "The Big Come Down" was always a favorite of mine. "Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally" is amazing as well. The instrumentals meld perfectly with the well-known ballads. "Pilgrimage" is a godly piece of music. This album kicks the shit out of any other album when you compare. I see why Trent took 6 years to make it. He pours his entire soul and aura into the albums he makes. "Things Falling Apart" was okay, but would have been better with a remix of "The Big Come Down" or "La Mer". I did like "The Frail (version)" and "The Great Collapse". This post is too long, I could talk all day about The Fragile, so I'll stop. |

i didn't mean to put down The Fragile - i really love both discs. i just think the second one is absolutely perfect, whereas the first has a couple of weaker songs. i think the only weak song on TFA is that ridiculous dance/rave-sounding mix of Starfuckers. the rest of it is perfect as well. how about the live dvd? that rules! |

my favorite album ever... la mer is my favorite song ever... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we're in this together has to be a fav for me. nin also put on a great show when they came to australia. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shit dude, la mer is the gayest nin song ever. man so fucking corny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never figured out why I don't own that CD the Great Below is fucking amazing Just Like You Imagined is the best track in history..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd like to retract my statement. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can see you and I are on the same frequency :P Indeedd a true work of art. Hopefully Trent is gonna come up with something new soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The album would have been much better if it were all instrumental. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I disagree, especially in songs like "The great below" I think that the vocals greatly contribute to the overall feeling/atmosphere of the song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I donno. Every time I listen to NIN, I can't help but feel it too teenage-angst/8-years-too-late kinda deal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
depends what you listen to and when... if you're listening to the early stuff, nowadays it would seem like that. there's no way that you can say The Fragile is teen-angsty stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My favourites on these CDs are: The Way Out is Through We're in this Together The Big Come Down La Mer The Great Below |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My faves list: The Great Blow Just like you imagined We're in this together La Mer The Fragile The way out is through Ripe (with decay) The mark has been made |

k you ppl are asking for news about future nin work... "the lathe of heaven" is the rumored new release tittle drunk now...will post more later |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i see that those are the wood shavings from the aforementioned "lathe of heaven" i'm in two minds about the new stuff i've followed NIN for a while now, and part of me thinks that it's gonna be the bomb of an album because i once read somewhere that he said he's going back to the roots - hardly any use of guitars, mainly synth stuff but then i'm thinking...what the fucks the deal with the website, and all this mystery about it? that is a big indicator of commercialisation i really hope i'm wrong about that last part, Reznor is a genius, and it would be a shame if he sold out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Fragile fucking sucks that no talent bastard !!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it was supposed to come out this fall. a lathe is like one of those tools where you put like wood or metal in a vice, and carve it with a spinning blade or something like that.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What source has provided you with such seemingly correct information? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"it would be a shame if he sold out " then what was that corporate cash grab with the dvd/live abulm? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm kidding Im the biggest NIN fan on the planet ... But like yeah where were you for the past 5 years since it was released ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah oscillik I was the one that posted that news : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
God will forgive you, for you do not know what you say. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Reznor already sold out. The whole purpose of the HALO system was to make money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FACT. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i were on a desert island with a bajillion batteries and a cd player, i'd take the fragile and lateralus with me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Pilgrimage is insane when listened to on full blast with both tweeters up to your ears. You can hear every little subliminal message there is. If you take every NIN album, and put it on full blast, put the tweeters next to your ears, you can hear some crazy crazy stuff!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really? Why Halo anyway, what is the significance of that word? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to be honest i haven't seen it, but it does seem a bit commercial.... NIN was forged in his live shows, and if he was truely integritous (is that a word??) he would not have released a video of his live show....the whole point of going to see him is that it's unique - something you can't buy and possess on your cd shelf |

"the lathe of heaven" is the rumored new release tittle > haha ^^ i wouldn't be surprised if Meathead was at the origin of this rumour.. ; ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh Meathead is a fucking GENIUS!!!!!!! did you ever see his article about "3 MC's and one TR"??? FUCKING GENIUS!!!! |
