Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Truly a "single"The Day the World Went Away is just one of several examples in the Nine Inch Nails collection of Halos that is really only purchasable for either its collector's value or for a single, outstanding track. Here, that track is "The Day the World Went Away (Quiet)", a solid remix of the song that appears originally on The Fragile. The track begins quietly and with newly recorded vocals up to its standard form, then drops off and spends the last several minutes in an even quieter setting, in a bit of an unconventional song structure (well, perhaps not so unconventional for Trent Reznor). But besides this nice remixed track, there's not much else to speak of for this CD. The other two tracks are basically lifted from The Fragile in their original ...

Rating: - Quite nice preview of one of the greatest albums everIf you're collecting NIN, you may have heard some of this already. That's because for most part, two-thirds of these tracks ended up on "The Fragile". Yes, they are somewhat different, but that'd be my reason for convincing someone to get this. It is quite cheap, even at used places, so that's also a plus. The original "Day" is a great track which is kind of like My Bloody Valentine in structure. I really love the instrumental parts, even the sad-sounding verses. I also like the bridge, which is ambient with some mandolin included. Then it becomes a scat-fest until it ends. Only slightly shorter than the album. "Starf***ers, Inc." is not that much different. I think it was the worst song on "The Fragile" but still quite ... Read More: Rating: - Trent is Proud of TDTWWA, I am tooTDTWWA is obviously a song that Trent was (is) very proud of, and I am thankful that I am one of the fans that was able to catch this and appreciate it. How else do you explain the fact that he went through the hassle of making six versions of this song???!? That's right: Single, Album, Quiet, Porter Ricks, Live & Acoustic (Halo 17, anyone?). Add to this the fact that Acoustic was first findable as a rough mix bootleg on Napster (it was titled "Acoustic in Chicago", I would have loved to have been there), and that TDTWWA is available as an Easter Egg on the And All That Could Have Been DVD...yes, I think that if you give this song a chance, you will see why Trent liked (likes?) this song so much...listen a little harder, and you may hear ... Read More: Rating:  - Mostly good material, but little value added."The Day the World Went Away" was the leadoff single from "The Fragile" and is of minimal value to all but collectors. Two of the tracks on this are taken straight from "The Fragile" (with small adjustments, one's slightly shorter, one has some pointless crowd noise dubbed in), with the third (a remix) also being available on part two of the "We're In This Together" singles. But looking at the songs themselves-- "The Day The World Went Away" is fantastic-- bleak, moody, with a great loud-soft interplay, a superb almost lacadaisical and very matter-of-fact vocal from Reznor, and a fantastic wordless vocal at the end. The quiet mix is worthwhile, with a chant at the beginning and a delicate intro before moving the majority of the piece ... Read More: |
