Think of a warm place.

My eyebrow just went up because this statement means those people actually exist.
Active Member
Agreed. That's what I do. Doesn't it make you feel better?
Memb, Member, The Membest
Warm places are usually occupied by reptiles. Yikes.

Way to go and spoil a good thing. God, you're such a ruiner.

This conversation is becoming rather broken and sore.

What a beautiful liar.

Sorry (not) I doled out a bunch of facepalms. I'm damaged on lyric quotes from a Facebook group or two. It's auto-cringe at this point.

The face palm was my goal. Thank you.

Totally.
Right now I'm typing this and watching Judge Judy. I'd much rather be listening to new NIN.

This should be the bonus CD to Fragile deluxe edition.

If Trent ever did a nin album with guest vocalists, I’d definitely like to hear Kenny Hickey do some vocal work with nin.

I've been wanting to make this video for a while. I added Leaving Hope and The Persistence Of Loss to the ending of One Hour Photo to see how it works, and I think it works really well. See for yourself.
Active Member
I'm sure Trent is willing to meet you somewhere in the middle and contribute an original score with Atticus Ross to a feature-length episode of Judge Judy

I'd be exceptionally down with that.

now playing:
the downward spiral 2008 US pressing on 180g vinyl (purchased from the NIN store)
definitely the best sounding out of the pressings i have (also have the 1994 original US promo pressing and 2008 EU "back to black" pressing, both are for sale)
my only complaint is that they still didn't change the track segue issues (the intro of "i do not want this" is stuck on the side that ends with "the becoming", the intro of "reptile" is stuck on the side that ends with "eraser")
Stubby Member
I get that everyone's pining for a Fragile re-release on vinyl, but how on earth have Further Down the Spiral and Still not found their way to that format? I can't even fathom how amazing it would be to hear "Leaving Hope" or "Self Destruction, Final" on vinyl. Surely, Trent has the masters for these...
Banned
Well, he didn't for Big Man With A Gun.
Memb, Member, The Membest
So Trent went for a different mix for The Fragile on vinyl. Any suggestions why he hasn't done so for other albums? Artistic or business reasons?
Banned
Probably because he hasn't been faced with anything as enormous since.

Reznor on the different track sequencing for different formats:
"Hello everybody. I've been doing a lot of European press lately and they've been mentioning the various configurations of 'the fragile' and wondering if there was a reason (other than to make the hard-core fan buy them all) to have some different tracks on them.
If you're curious, here's why. We agonized over the sequencing of the record and focused solely on the CD config. as the definitive one. After the decision was made to move to two CDs the problem then became removing tracks to get the right feel and flow.
Taking the new flesh' off the CD was a tough call because Alan and myself really like the track, but it destroyed the balance and it just didn't fit.
When we assembled the cassette, we now had four beginnings and endings to contend with instead of two of each (for the CD) follow? It worked out pretty well just dividing the songs up, but we wanted the A sides of the cassettes to be slightly longer than the B sides (so that when the tape flips over you are not in the middle of the first song on that side). We added the 'appendage' to 'please' to make that work.
For the vinyl, the decision to move to three discs was based on fidelity. (you can only fit so many minutes on a side of vinyl before it degrades the sound)
So now we are faced with SIX beginnings and endings. Simply splitting the sides up didn't work as well this time so we decided to include the other two tracks we had been considering ('10 miles high' and 'the new flesh') as well as use the full unedited versions of all the other songs on the record. The vinyl sequencing has actually grown on me lately as a viable alternate! -just thought you might want to know…"

Yeah, i've read that, it's just intriguing to think - would he do that again if the recording was big enough, or, thanks to "digital age", it's a thing of the past.
Throbbing Member
I think he would do it. I would hope that any artist who cares about how their art is experienced would take the time to prepare it properly for each medium it will be available for. He did it with Welcome Oblivion and that was after digital and streaming had gained popularity. He also attempted to do something with Hesitation Marks by offering a "audiophile" version that is specific to digital. The content is the same, but the experience is different.
Banned
I applaud Reznor for making each version of the Fragile unique to each of its formats. But there's no way he'll ever put that much effort and thought into making unique versions for various formats with future releases.
If he does, that will be wonderful.
Like @buckaroo mentioned, we can probably only expect audiophile versions and maybe surround sound versions.
on a side note: 1 and a half more weeks until the big announcement.
