Nine Inch Nails – The Fragile: Deviations 1

Killer press! However mine copy has a sleeve of EU edition. HALO isn’t written on back side

Every layer of sound. You can hear every detail and the additional tracks are just as incredible, interesting, and amazing. Masterpiece.

Is it really worth buying this release or should I just get the fragile instead?

The best releases since the "Still" CD. Reliving "The Fragile" in a new beautiful way has been jaw dropping.

Now finally out of stock on nin.com. Moment of truth - when its gone its gone? Let's see.

what an amazing release. the sound on this one is a work of arts and crafts.
the rework on the mix is soft but capital gain. some tracks seems anewed (Underneath It All, The Big Come Down, Ripe With Decay ...) and very few lose a bit (Starfuckers, Inc., and... ? i don't even know). the extra tracks go from (pretty) good to interesting and never impoverish the overall results.
an absolute must-listen, in his vinyl form, for every fan of the original or the band.

A lot of minor pops and clicks throughout on my copy, but man what a fantastic release nonetheless. This presents old favorites in a way that makes them feel new again, and introduces a lot of fantastic previously unreleased material. Some of the unreleased stuff I can understand why it got cut, but none of it is bad.

It's also interesting on the LPs themselves are not directly labeled, instead having to rely on matching up their colors with the included legend/track list. It can feel a bit annoying at times, but it adds a twist to the hands-on vinyl experience. This, combined with the outer sleeve art being ambiguous as to front vs. back, makes me wonder if it was done on purpose to impart the idea that there is no specific intended play order. It certainly does seem like all 8 sides could be played in any order and provide a fantastic experience every time.

Highly recommend!

I have got one with the same sticker on front but without "Halo Thirty" on the back... Is this official? Bought it from imusic.dk

This sounds fantastic but the packaging is barebones and pixelated

I love it. I recommend it all the time. Especially if you like the fragile. Especially if you like Ghosts.
