HMV Review

Rolling Stone (10/14/99, p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...[Reznor's] version of Pink Floyd's THE WALL...[venting] his alienation and misery into paranoid studio hallucinations, each track crammed with overdubs until there's no breathing room....it's New Wave with its finger on the trigger..."
Spin (11/99, pp.179-80) - 9 out of 10 - "...[Reznor's] epic portrayal of the endless, aimless inner din....THE FRAGILE is a good old-fashioned strap-on-your-headphones experience....a concept album....He tries to leap into an ocean of sound, but a breakbeat throws him back on shore..."
Q Magazine (12/99, p.142) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Reznor expertly sculpts his sounds like an electro-grunge Henry Moore..."
Alternative Press (11/99, pp.118-9) - 5 out of 5 - "...relevant as ever....nothing short of astounding....THE FRAGILE is Reznor's bid to be not only successful but also Important. And I think he's made it..."
Mojo (12/99, p.110) - "...an impressively multi-textured, satisfyingly violent sonic workout..."
Entertainment Weekly (9/24/99, pp.142-3) - "...THE FRAGILE feels freshest, and most like a progression from THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL when the music struggles upward toward some sort of transcendence....hard rock simply doesn't get any smarter, harder, or more ambitious than this." - Rating: A-

    NINのアルバムは何時も、不思議な「空気」が在ると思う。このフラジャイルは感覚的に言うと何だかモヤモヤしてて、曇っててハッキリしない、聴いたあとにそのモヤモヤが残るような、そんな感じ。でも聴いてる間は凄く心地好くて、暫く(ハマれば)中毒のように聴き続けてしまう。LEFT、RIGHT共に最後の曲がもう聴いてて気が狂いそうに成る程恐いです笑  ああ、後10年程早く生まれてきてリアルタイムで聴きたかったなぁ…。

    目を閉じて一人ヘッドホンで聴くも良し、街の喧騒の中歩き眺め聴くも良し。ぬけられない。止められない。

    TRUCK STOP JUG HOP  |  不明  |  03/May/2009

    '99年発表。なんと、5年ぶりの本作。その間も、映画のサントラだったり、トレントがプロデュースして自身のレーベルから送り出したマリリン・マンソンの大ブレイクだったり、なんやかんやでN.I.N.の名は語られていたけどね。そして、その脅威の創造性を注ぎ込んだ3rdアルバムは、2枚組の大作。暗く、深く、激しく、葛藤するような音楽は壮大なスケールで、カテゴライズ不可能。だが、圧倒的な存在感で迫ってくる。
