Things Falling Apart [EP] by Nine Inch Nails

Pros: Great remixes, great original tracks, awesome cd.
Cons: Too many remixes of 1 song in particular.

First there was “Down In It” which begat “Pretty Hate Machine” which begat “Head Like a Hole” which begat “Sin” which begat “Broken” which begat “Fixed” which begat “March of the Pigs” which begat “The Downward Spiral” which begat “Closer to God” which ...

Pros: ..
Cons: ..

The remix is a precise and demanding art. In fact, its genesis and purpose are shrouded in a veil of mystery, no-one really knows where the remix comes from, or how artists arrive at it. Most importantly, very few people know why they recorded them in ...

Pros: ...
Cons: ...

Pros: Some strong remixes and outtakes from NIN.
Cons: Mediocre remixes and unneeded filler. A Very Disappointing EP from NIN.

Throughout Nine Inch Nails’ history, NIN mastermind Trent Reznor and his cohorts have been known for putting out remix records as a companion disc to their albums. 1992’s Fixed and 1995’s Further Down The Spiral were ...

Pros: "Metal" is an awesome song...
Cons: ...But everything else is pretty much "plastic". And it all really, really, really, really sucks.

If you've ever heard Louis Black's bit on candy corn, you'll know exactly what this CD is about. Basically, every Halloween, you see a bowl full of candy corn, and you think "mmm, candy corn". And you have one piece out of curiosity, and it's then ...

Pros: Terrific remix of The Frail, some interesting versions
Cons: Too much Starf*ckers, not as good as the earlier remix albums

Things Falling Apart is the latest in a long string of remix albums released by NIN's. Reznor basically has released at least one for each of his studio albums. In general, these albums usually feature a new twist of the songs contained in the studio...

Pros: There's some interesting reworkings on the album.
Cons: Star******'s far to often.

Nine Inch Nails, the band who brought tunes to industrial music make a slight return after the stunning double album ‘The Fragile’ with an album mainly consisting of reworked songs from The Fragile. The music is the normal varied Nine Inch Nails mix of...

Pros: Trent Reznor is a genious
Cons: Musical taste is relative

You must first understand that I am a Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor fan. I started getting into them after they covered 'Dead Souls' for the Crow soundtrack, and I like Closer, even though it is not my favorite song by them. I own most of the NIN halos,...

Pros: It was made by Trent Reznor.
Cons: Three version of "Starf*ckers" is about two too many.

The other day I read a review of Things Falling Apart in Rolling Stone that just about made me cry. The guy was whining that the remix EP was nothing more than songs from The Fragile with the hooks and vocals removed. He then went on...

Pros: Some very catchy and moving songs
Cons: Three trite and uninteresting songs

Don't listen to the bad reviews about this album, it seriously rules. Where as other NIN remix albums tried very hard to make themselves forboding and chaotic, this takes a turn toward the melodies that made Reznor famous in the first place. The CD begins ...

Pros: Great originality, deep feelings
Cons: Wish it had a few more songs

Trent does it again. After creating a seamless album (The Fragile), he finds the power and creativity to master remixes of perfection. I had my doubts about the EP, particularly because i already loved the songs the way they were, but now i have fallen...

Pros: Good as remixes go
Cons: Starf*ckers, Inc.

Things Falling Apart is, as far as remix projects go, a good example of an artist's ability to grow and move into new territory. As usual, Reznor is a wizard in the studio and takes his vision to the next level. There is a very spiritual aspect to...

Pros: Creates semi-dancable versions of the songs of The Fragile; the song Metal
Cons: Is it necessary?!? Three versions of Starf*ckers

For years, Trent Reznor (and his band) has made a career of creating groundbreaking industrial-styled rock under the guise of Nine Inch Nails. I don't think I am going out on a limb when I say that every one of his album is an essential piece of...

Pros: Great use of the synthesizer
Cons: Dull remixes of Star******s

Seems that Trent has struck again. Famous for his EP remix albums Trent Reznor nails another. The work on "Things Falling Apart" is exquisite in almost every way. Particular interest comes on the track "Where is Everybody?"...

Pros: Great sound, return to sound of Downward Spiral
Cons: Length, it is an EP with 10 songs

I have been a fan of NIN since their first effort "Pretty Hate Machine" And with each effort, the band seemed to grow musically. However, when "The Fragile" was released, I was somewhat disappointed. It was not a bad effort but...
