shifted things around, removed the "shares tempo" thing

The song "Ripe" is a very moody, dark finale to ''The Fragile''. The cassette and CD versions of the song feature an additional section, "Decay". Many of the instruments sound out of tune or oddly tuned, and some of the parts seem to be incomplete. [[Trent Reznor]] spoke on this, saying that ''The Fragile'' was supposed to be a continuation of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]],'' with the protagonist going from happy to depressed on the first side (Left), then finding new hope on (Right) only to lose it again.

The song mutates from a very beautiful piano improvisation by Mike Garson above a methodical, slinking guitar riff, gradually descending into chaos with several instruments playing wildly and disharmoniously before all the sounds stop at once. "Decay" follows this with dark, moody bass and synth, and Reznor humming in the background. The guitar picks back up and the music becomes chaotic again for a moment, just to stop as abruptly as it started.

~~The song shares its tempo with [[The Big Come Down]].~~

===Ripe (With Decay)===

This version is on the CD and audio cassette releases of ''The Fragile''. The song mutates from a very beautiful piano improvisation by Mike Garson above a methodical, slinking guitar riff, gradually descending into chaos with several instruments playing wildly and disharmoniously before all the sounds stop at once. "Decay" follows this with dark, moody bass and synth, and Reznor humming in the background. The guitar picks back up and the music becomes chaotic again for a moment, just to stop as abruptly as it started. "Decay" extends the song's length by an extra minute and twenty seconds.
