Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

After the two nihilistic epics The Downward Spiral in 1995 and its belated 1999 follow-up The Fragile, Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails are settling into a loud, predictable rut. Throwing around the same thrashy, complex-yet-melodic industrial rock that sounded so groundbreaking on The Downward Spiral, the sound is beginning to show its limitations. Though often mesmerising in the way Reznor's inventive sonic structure and relentlessly bleak tone congeal so convincingly around the catchiest of pop melodies, the man seems to have run out of places to go. Things Falling Apart, a collection of severely remixed songs from The Fragile, adds precious little to Rezner's familiar, impossibly angry milieu. Most everything here falls short of their original versions, especially all three versions of "Starfuckers Inc" (though, in fairness, that may have been The Fragile's best track). There are a few previously unreleased tracks here that shine; the Fragile outtake"10 Miles High" throws a simple, pounding chorus into a swamp of washed-out ambient noise, while the Gary Numan cover "Metal" makes convincing use of Reznor's gift for pop melody. Still, it's apparent that, despite how great he is at what he does, Reznor just can't keep doing it forever. --Matthew Cooke

CD Description

The best words to describe the music of Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails are caustic and scathing. Billed as manipulations of songs recorded during THE FRAGILE sessions, THINGS FALLING APART stands on its own as a solid release. The remixes are so drastic that they become separate entities from their distant origins.
Long-time collaborators such as Alan Moulder, Charlie Clouser (now a full-fledged member of Nine Inch Nails), and Dave Ogilvie were recruited to flesh out the new instrumentation, while Danny Lohner, Keith Hillebrandt, and Adrian Sherwood master the control boards. The result is a swirling mix of synth-pop, crunchy guitar riffs, and ambient, archaic soundscapes. From the haunting strings in Bellini's version of "The Frail" to the pulsating Sherwood remix of "Starfuckers, Inc"., this collection aims for the deepest recesses of the human soul. A DVD containing live footageand videos is also available.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not their best for me, 31 Dec 2007
By mike "Mike aging rocker" (Manchester England) - See all my reviews
I got into NIN late with the first album of theirs I bought being their live album which I thought was original and simply like nothing else around. With Teeth I thought was great and then purchased their entire catalogue. Enjoyed The Downward Spiral, The Fragile and Year Zero. I personally feel that this is their weakest offering with nothing quite as new and adventurous as their other albums. Good but not their best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good - could maybe be better., 13 Nov 2003
By A Customer
This is for the most part a remix of The Fragile, and it's a pretty good one. One CD, with about 4 versions of Starf*ckers on it (if you liked that song you won't go far wrong with this).

For me, The Fragile was better. And All That Could Have Been was better. But those are great CD's - this would have been hard-pushed to be as good. I think it stands up pretty well on its own, though.

If you don't have those other two CD's though, buy them first.

2.0 out of 5 stars Things really are falling apart, 14 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Things Falling Apart: Explicit [VINYL] (Vinyl)
This album has to be the most dissapointing of nine inch nails releases to date. It contains a couple of great remixes (the wretched and where is everybody?) and an awful lot of sonic meandering. (The frail is great until the pointless synth noises start to appear) After the amazing downward spiral came further down the spiral and that contained some great remixes. I half expected a second helping of that. This comes across as nothing more than a collection of `fan remixes` as might find on a NIN websiteor napster. (parts of the song with an awful breakbeat pasted over the top) It suffers from the same problem as the fragile in that for every good track there`s three or four pointless ones. If you`re a fan then it`s worth getting it to add to the collection but don`t expect to be playing it for long. If you`re new to NIN then ignore this cd for now and go for The downward spiral, Broken or Pretty hate machine.

Lets hope this isn`t going to be a lasting trend for NIN.
