The Fragile – Nine Inch NailsView More By Nine Inch Nails Our ReviewTrent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails was a "group" in the same chimeral way that Steely Dan was: mostly a marketing context for deeply personal musical visions. Indeed, this massive, double-disc 1999 follow-up to the breakthrough success of The Downward Spiral took nearly as long to cobble together as the average Steely Dan opus, and the years-long anticipation of its release saw it soar all-too-briefly to the top of the charts. Tracks like "The Day the World Went Away" and the standard-issue anti-record biz screed "Starf***ers Inc." show that Reznor had lost little of the hellfire in his belly, or the often innovative sonic wizardry with which he expressed it. But its harder, even bleaker ethos was clearly no Spiral clone either, though "Where Is Everybody" manages to distill some of the dance-floor grooves that had made NIN's breakthrough so resilient.. Customer ReviewsA Classic. (5 stars)This is a "must have" for a NIN fan, whether the first album you bought was "With Teeth" or "Pretty Hate Machine."

Two discs leave you with months of enjoyment. Lots of pretty moments surrounded by grinding beats, vocals and guitars. It will absorb you. Writhing In Ecstasy (5 stars) Without question, this amazing two disk wonder is the greatest electro-industrial album of all time. A backdown from his hyper-aggressive Downward Spiral, Trent Reznor unleashes a new demon in Fragile. A dejected soul backed to the wall, Reznor bemoans his unattainable love in a journey of searching, failing, and ultimately, decay. The album opens with the mangled image of a man in agony, the majority of Somewhat Damaged hobbling along in 3/ BiographyFormed: 1989 in Cleveland, OHGenre: Alternative Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Nine Inch Nails were the most popular industrial group ever and were largely responsible for bringing the music to a mass audience. It isn't really accurate to call NIN a group; the only official member is singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Trent Reznor, who always remained solely responsible for NIN's musical direction (he was, however, supported in concert by a regular backing band). Unlike the vast majority of industrial artists, Reznor wrote melodic, traditionally structured songs where lyrics...
