Well, to me, this article is obviously not NPOV.

  • Huh? Then why did you put a POV tag on it? I think you mean POV, not NPOV, in your above statement. Please provide some examples, as I can't find any POV material in this article. I'll remove the tag in seven days unless anyone objects. --TonySt 14:50, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

""The Fragile" is Reznor's most sophisticated work, requiring the listener to consider the entire album instead of being a collection of singles and b-sides. Several tracks contain no vocals whatsoever, but are instead symphonic soundscapes that flow in and out of each other, like streaking, mixed paints on a canvas.

That is not to say that Reznor's style "goes soft" on this album. This is still adolescent angst at its best, filled with nihilistic disappointment, rage, and sorrow. The difference is that this album is, in many ways, the most richly detailed and beautiful mosaic for such subject matter. There are more pauses amidst the noise in this album, and the artist's struggles seem that much more painfully rendered here."

  • just one man's opinion, but the preceding two paragraphs sound more like a album review than an encyclopedic entry, lending itself more to a POV than a critical analysis. --anon
    • Good point. Let me see if I can clean up the article... --TonySt 01:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] digipack

[edit] quotations

There's too many quotes in the beginning of this article. I think one or both ought to be removed. --Raid0422 20:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Hidden" track

Between tracks 4+5 on the 2nd disc, Reznor can be heard faintly saying something like I'm getting closer/I'm getting closer all the time as the clock on my CD player ticks back a minus number (approx. 15 seconds). You need to start playing from the start of track 4, and not skip back from track 5. Lugnuts 11:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
