Oh, okay. That's actually a pretty common opinion among NIN fans from what I hear. I think that the official Nine Inch Nails forums held a poll for what the best NIN album was and The Fragile ended up getting the most votes, and beat The Downward Spiral by a really fair amount.

The Fragile is Trent's Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. The Downward Spiral is his Selling England by the Pound. do with that what you will

Those are both my favorite Genesis albums because I really just can't decide between the two at all.

well yea thats why its a good comparison. selling england is the shorter more concise album, which was followed by the big double album The Lamb. fans are split which one they like best. same with Downward and The Fragile.



personally i like the downward spiral more. i guess i just like the whole concept and everything. it just has more of an aura about it to me.

I thought I was alone. I never cared for this album. I thought it was a huge disappointment.

I agree so much with this review. The Fragile is just two discs of waiting for the album to start. It is an album I atroceously wanted to like but I cannot listen to any of its tracks entirely, there is absolutely no density, every single idea seems to be spread like jam on a toast, repeated endlessly until what was nice at the beginning becomes intolerable. There is not one bit of cohesion and each song feels like you are on a different album, or that you are starting the album again. Most songs are ruined by one terrible element which makes it unlistenable whatever qualities it has. What kind of a start are "Somewhat Damaged" and "the day the world went away" ? A song unbearably repetitive wich cannot survive its unbeleavably simplistic main riff followed by a song which feels like a closer to an entire album because it is mainly just a four minutes outroduction. And then, what !?! An interlude. And it carries on like that for two discs, each track plagued by an unredeemable mistake.
