I think the reason why “The Fragile” disappointed you is because you expected it to be a carbon copy of his earlier work. Trent progressed, both musically and personally, in a tremendous way in the void between The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. That progression is very obvious in the 2 discs it took to tell the tale. Now, after The Fragile, you have turdballs that are “With Teeth”, “Year Zero”, and especially “The Slip”. Those albums also tell a tale, but that tale is a cross between whining about the political system by which he is governed (I agree that America is screwed up, so I can get past that) and his hatred toward what had become the recording industry. It is almost like he released crap just to tell the record companies to screw off. In his attempt, though, he lost many listeners… Me included, I’m afraid to say. Now, with his How To Destroy Angels project, I feel that the musical Trent that we know and love is back, just with his wife as the voice of the project. I highly recommend it!

I agree with him about the fragile to a point! I was disappointed with only the fragile album for the first 2-3 times I listened to it! Gave it a break,then listened again after a year & it really grew on me..more & more! I love everything he has ever recorded since then & can never see a time when I won't spend money to hear new stuff on media or live! I would actually love to have heard some of the joke record ideas..as I side project..it would be interesting!! Paul

I saw NiN on the latest tour… Twice… And I have to say that it was absolutely a breathtaking show – the first time. The second time around was pretty much a carbon copy of the first.
