I liked most of The Fragile - I liked the ambient interludes, the pounding rockers, and the electronica which reminded me a lot of Porcupine Tree (eg Sleep Together).It's a lot to take in as a double album which is why I'm slowly growing into it. I've had it for months and didn't like it on first spin, but I've recently taken to darker stuff again ("Winter is coming") and this seemed an interesting side road as I travel down the metal motorway.
The only thing I wasn't too keen on was the screaming, but it was tolerable compared to the likes of Messhuggah etc, and it wouldn't put me off buying other NIN releases.
I was intrigued by the authorised 'Definitive Editions' (singles, heavy, deep cuts and quiet) but they're download only from torrent sites (which is a no-no for me), and 100 or so tracks might be jumping in at the very deep end without a lifebelt.
