It's alright as a tribute I guess



Same vocal melodies and phrasing, practically same lyrics, embellished production values/instrumentation.



Song is a 3

I just accept that Doof has a different taste on many things that lots of Sputters love.

Not too many sacred cows for me Dino is all



This isn't horrible in any way, it just doesn't give me too much beyond what 'The Downward Spiral' gave me FIVE YEARS earlier.



The best two songs are the instrumentals that at least have some new melodies and ideas - not just better production/new instrumentation

I'd say this scenario reminds me of Aenima/Lateralus



Aenima had all the great ideas and a visceral delivery. Lateralus upped the production values and chin stroking and lost all the bite from the mix.



Same exact thing with TDS/Fragile.

I prefer this to The Downward Spiral tbh. Both are classics within their own right but this is marginally better.

This album is perfection. One of the greatest albums of all time.



TDS is amazing too but there are a few clunkers on it that bring it down a bit from this.

I listen to this over Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral when I want to think about what a mixing/production god Trent used to be.

The lead before the ending chorus in t/t is one of the most epic things Trent has done.

The first disc on this is insane. Second disc kind of gets in the weeds at times and is nowhere near as tight and constructed as the first but it still has some real gems. It's a double album so naturally it's not perfect but this is still one the most impactful albums of all time for me. The Downward Spiral mainly explores lows and descends constantly but The Fragile has these ups and downs in tone... it's a real rollercoaster.
