The Fragile (halo)

Halo 14 - The Fragile

The Fragile (also known as Halo 14), released in 1999, is the fourth studio album by Nine Inch Nails.

While it did not receive the commercial success that its predecessor, The Downward Spiral, did, it is still considered to be very well-written in a musical sense.

Before the release of this full-length, the single "The Day The World Went Away" was released; following The Fragile's release, "We're In This Together" was released. A remix CD featuring several songs from The Fragile was released as Things Falling Apart.

The Fragility 2.0 tour was filmed and released as "And All That Could Have Been" on DVD and VHS. It was also released as a CD which was eventually combined with an extension called Still.
