Random NIN Questions

I definitely think Bill is painting a picture of The Fragile's critical reception that doesn't reflect real life. (Not as blatantly as he usually does, but still.) I read every single thing I could back then and there were just a handful of middling reviews, and one of the only obscenely bad ones was Pitchfork -- which I should point out, no one even really discovered until a couple of years later when Pitchfork started gaining a little more respect/credibility (coinciding with when they stopped giving that Brent guy free reign to shit out nonsense and call it a review).

Maybe I'm wearing my rose-colored glasses, I don't know. I DO remember fans hating on the album, but not critics.
