THE FRAGILE

The Fragile was the third album by Nine inch nails. As a die-hard fan of this band, The Fragile is my second favorite album by the band only behind Pretty hate machine. I have played this album countless times, and that is because it is a great album. The album is long because it is a double album, but at no point does the album ever get boring or repetitive. There is also a few instrumental tracks that add to the sound and overall feel of the album. A concept of the album is living with scars, as the Downward Spiral was about the downfall of a person, the Fragile is about the same person, but now they have to live with the scars of their past. When you think about this concept, the music really comes to life, so if you can't seem to get into the album, think about what it is based around, it gives you a whole new outlook on the album. The Fragile is a great album and it is essential for the Nine inch nails fan or the industrial music fan.
