In this fourth production Nine Inch Nails accentuates the heaviness of the guitars giving them a typical treatment and the electronic textures are really amazing. In all the songs they put him that atmosphere of madness, whose theme "Into The Void" it summarizes the personal vision of Trent Reznor. I consider "The Fragile" is one of the most experimental/atmospheric works in NINs history.
