Pros: Great remixes, great original tracks, awesome cd.
Cons: Too many remixes of 1 song in particular.
Summary: 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: "Metal" is an awesome song...
Cons: ...But everything else is pretty much "plastic". And it all really, really, really, really sucks.
Summary: 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: ..
Cons: ..
Summary: 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: Some very catchy and moving songs
Cons: Three trite and uninteresting songs
Summary: 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: Some strong remixes and outtakes from NIN.
Cons: Mediocre remixes and unneeded filler. A Very Disappointing EP from NIN.
Summary: 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: This is a great cd
Cons: none
Summary: I really liked this cd. It contains remixes from some of the songs from the fragile cd. It also contains a few other songs. These songs include "metal" and "10 miles high", I particularly liked both of these songs. 10 miles high can also be found on...

Pros: Creates semi-dancable versions of the songs of The Fragile; the song Metal
Cons: Is it necessary?!? Three versions of Starf*ckers
Summary: 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: There's some interesting reworkings on the album.
Cons: Star******'s far to often.
Summary: 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: Powerful, melodic, and amazing, this remix of The Fragile shows no signs of degradation
Cons: Slightly repetitious.
Summary: Taking a popular album and remixing it's strongest aspects for release under a new name. It's an old idea, but Trent Reznor's new album, Things Falling Apart, exemplifies the fact that it isn't a bad one. With driving instrumentals, powerful vocals,...

Pros: Trent Reznor is a genious
Cons: Musical taste is relative
Summary: 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: Terrific remix of The Frail, some interesting versions
Cons: Too much Starf*ckers, not as good as the earlier remix albums
Summary: 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: It was made by Trent Reznor.
Cons: Three version of "Starf*ckers" is about two too many.
Summary: 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: ...
Cons: ...
Summary: "I think an important thing to know about the remix record is - when I hear the word remix, I think... find whatever's happening in the disco scene, and that's not what these records are about. When I was recording the Fragile, there were a lot...

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

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