THINGS FALLING APART also features two previously unreleased tracks: a cover of Gary Numan's "Metal" (from Numan's 1979 album THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE) and "The Great Collapse", a new song recorded during THE FRAGILE sessions and completed by Trent Reznor and Alan Moulder prior to NIN's 2000 U.S. tour. Produced by Reznor, THINGS FALLING APART follows a long line of remix albums from NIN, including FURTHER DOWN THE SPIRAL and FIXED.
