The Fragile is an excellent NIN album, but it’s not even close really.
I don't know why anyone would even be bothered for a comparative but to each their own.

I bought Broken at a record convention as I never came across it and then The Downward Spiral at a used record shop. Seeing Lost Highway and The Perfect Drug getting airplay on MTV really got me going and I couldn't wait for The Day the World Went Away single, which of course I bought at the mall as soon as it was released. The VMA performance and then finally getting the album was something else, downloaded every Fragility 2.0 tour gig I could find.

If you could add a song from Broken to The Downward Spiral, would you? If so, which and where?

No.
As I just posted I have a fairly defined history with the works and I know some bit of revisionism can be quite embaced here at RM but that ain't my bag. Just listen to everything, there's time... if you get hit by a bus before the album ends your luck was shit anyway.

Okay, that's fair. Now lemme ask you this:

If you could add 'And All That Could Have Been', from Still, to the The Fragile, which track gives up its spot?

If there's two things RM loves more than anything it's ranking things and chopping shit up.

'The Fragile', 'The Wretched' and 'Where is Everybody?' are all incredible. I would cut 'Ripe' or 'The Mark...' if I had to.

Quietly shooketh by this take of yours, Trag.

The Wretched is one of the best Nine Inch Nails songs, what the fuck are you talking about?

The Fragile is a really great album, but the Deviations 1 or whatever the expanded instrumental version from a few years ago was called was really unnecessary.

If you could sneak pakt like sardines in a tin can from radiohead's amnesiac onto any NIN album, which would you add it to and what spot?
