'''''Broken''''' (also known as '''''[[halo numbers|Halo 5]]''''') is an EP released on September 22nd 1992. Although not technically so, ''Broken'' is usually considered [[Nine Inch Nails]]' second major release after ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'' since it consists entirely of new material. The EP was recorded in secret, in order to avoid interference from [[TVT Records]]. It was followed later that year by ''[[Fixed]],'' a companion EP of [[Remixes|remixes]] of the songs on ''Broken.''The typeface used on ''Broken'' (and ''Fixed'') is AkzidenzGrotesk-Black, which was also used to create the [[Nothing Records]] logo.

<p>"The last two tracks were leftovers from a 12" that should have been released when we did lollapalooza, but due to record labels.... ...so, i thought they were good enough to be released, but did not fit with 'broken', so, i wanted to give them away but keep them separate from the EP, so, i came up with the 3" CD idea, but, my record label informed me that it cost so much to manufacture that they could not break even EVER regardless of sales, so, i compromised and allowed the first 250,000 to have the 3" CD, and the rest to have them on tracks 98-99 (so nobody would be ripped off)."</p>
