We also have to operate under the assumption that "Stained", "Rotation" and "Anomaly" are just tracks that were released under different titles. Think about it: everything else on those hand-written lists came out on the regular vinyl edition of the album. It must be a list of contenders for a possible running order. But there are several songs that aren't on either list. Why might that be? Let's look at each:

-The Frail (this was inspired by a remix of "The Fragile" done by Keith Hillebrandt late in the recording sessions, so it was possibly written after those lists were made)

-We're In This Together (I can't imagine why this wasn't on the lists at this point unless it didn't have lyrics yet, or was out of the running, since TR was at one point said to be fed up with how long it was taking to finish)

-Just Like You Imagined (this may not have been in contention for a similar reason, or perhaps had a different title: "Rotation" maybe?)

-No, You Don't (possibly unfinished at this point?)

-The Great Below (not considered/unfinished?)

-The Way Out Is Through (we know from a picture of the multi-track documentation from nin.com circa 1999 that this was called "Anomaly" at one point)

-Where Is Everybody? (again, probably unwritten or unfinished at this stage)

-I'm Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally (another late addition is my guess)

-The Big Come Down (unfinished or out of consideration)

-Underneath It All (this is likely "Stained" under a different title)

-Ripe (With Decay) (unfinished or later retitled)

The only real mystery is what song "Rotation" later became. It could be one of the songs that later had lyrics added, but my money's on it being "I'm Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally" or "Ripe (With Decay)".

I posted this in the other thread. It's a BIG wishlist, but...here it is:

1. Multitrack files for every song
2. b-sides and demos
3. Trent's written retrospective on the making of The Fragile
4. A DVD containing Trent and others performing all of the songs on the album.

This would make me complete.

This is going to be so sexy.

I just hope we don't get fucked by shipping and customs to Canada again. Maybe a more simple bluray option will be there.

It cost ~$170 CDN to get the $75 USD version of ghosts, by the time it got to my doorstep. Shipping, customs, and the US->Canadian conversion of those were rape... probably wouldn't have bothered if I knew how much it was going to expand. Underestimated it, to say the least!

If The Fragile was released as a 5.1 channel 96KHz 24bit DVD-A, TrueHD/DTS-MA or PCM release I would be so very, very happy !

What do other people think about this single request?

although i'm not a dual disc fan, I would be amazing to see two dual discs. Disc 1 front and back be original album including any tracks witheld from the final cut. disc 2 side a being bsides rarities. side b being dvd all videos including alternates and the day the world went away, still galleries and alternate artwork designs and interviews.

I don't think these songs were released under different names. I bet this is some of the material Aaron North talked about in that one interview. He mentioned there was a bunch of good stuff from the Fragile that never made it on the album.

@rob_sheridan can you tell us anything new on the progress of The Fragile Ultimate reissue? We've received some questions about it.

Rob posted:

@ninwiki Nothing new to report. Seeing a new prototype soon, but don't hold your breath, it's a long ways off.

My only wish would be about the unreleased songs and I think that if we don't see them on this Deluxe Edition they will never come out.
(At least until Trent's alive. You know the Jimi Hendrix album....)

I like the idea of 10 Miles, Appendage and whatnot being with the rest of the album next to The Mark... and Please. A booklet of thoughts and artwork would also be magical.

Stuff from the website and unreleased would also be great.

And another disc that contains covers of tracks from the Fragile including Beyonce, Gaga, Cheryl Tweedy, Owl City and various others.

Well. Maybe not Owl City.
