Disambiguation

[edit]

Do you mean the Broken Bridges? Unless that film is known as Broken as well, the change should be reverted. Pomte 00:43, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Note that while there is no prohibition against top disambiguation links on already-disambiguated articles like this, they are not encouraged. --Piet Delport 20:28, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gave Up tempo 288 bpm?

[edit]

What source says that it is 288 bpm? 144 seems more logical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.230.246.145 (talk) 13:01, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Halo 5?

[edit]

Is the halo 5 thing real? It says that that is the albums nickname. I deleted it at first but then went back to the original because I wasn't sure... Anyone know? Thanks! Ehccheehcche (talk) 23:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's real. Each NIN release has a Halo#. --- It doesn't stick. (talk) 17:21, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hidden Tracks

[edit]

Are there any copies that don't have the two bonus tracks? I don't have the CD yet, and I've heard rumors that some copies don't have the bonus tracks. I want to know if the rumors are true. Bramblestar (ShadowClan Leader) (talk) 18:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I just got a copy today, and it had the tracks. I was just wondering if they were present on all copies. Bramblestar (ShadowClan Leader) (talk) 22:33, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
They are. ≤ alvareo [speak to me] ≥ 20:51, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The first 250,000 copies didn't have them on the main disc, the bonus tracks were on a seperate mini CD. But no copy goes without them. Sheepdean (talk) 19:41, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is it worth noting that tracks 7 and 8 are actually 98 and 99 on the CD? Tracks 7 though 97 were just blank. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.180.130.149 (talk) 02:53, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's in the article already. The first paragraph in the packaging section also discusses the first CD pressing with the bonus tracks on a second CD, and other formats -- Foetusized (talk) 08:28, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

cover

[edit]

a little pet peeve of mine...album covers are almost always displayed at 200x200 pixels, so all albums cover files should be at least that pig24.144.137.244 (talk) 21:23, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

EP status

[edit]

An EP, as explained on Wikipedia, is defined as a musical release that is under 25 minuets in length and/or consists of 4 or less tracks. Broken doesn't fit into any of these conditions.

Is the release named an EP on any official material from Nine Inch Nails themselves? Robo37 (talk) 11:48, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reznor has called Broken a "mini-album" in the official press sheet, which is essentially an EP by definition. He also goes on the state that the new "full-length recording" is TDS. http://www.ninwiki.com/images/a/a3/Broken_uk12promo_presssheet_lq.jpg Ls883 (talk) 12:52, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The definition you quote, from the lede of the EP article, is one used by The Official Charts Company in the UK, for deciding which recordings qualify for which charts. The reality is that there is no clear-cut line between a single and EP, or between an EP and an album, and that is explained at Extended play#Defining EP. -- Foetusized (talk) 13:11, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed (EP)

[edit]

I added the chronology thing to the infobox, and while trying to decide if Fixed or The Downward Spiral should be the next "album", I realized that there is no link to nor mention of the Fixed EP, which is all remixes of Broken material, in this article. Also, PHM and TDS, in their infoboxes, skip over the Broken and Fixed EPs in their chronologies.

Then, I couldn't figure out where mention of Fixed belonged within this article. Guess I am being indecisive today. -- Foetusized (talk) 14:12, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Added a mention of Fixed in the beginning of the article. Ls883 (talk) 14:33, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since there's so much editing going on today, can I get other's opinion on if we need the full history of Nothing Records in the middle of the Packaging section? Perhaps just about the start of the imprint, since this was the first Nothing release? -- Foetusized (talk) 17:54, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Packaging

[edit]

The "Packaging" section is almost incomprehensible. I struggled to understand the (uncited) point about parody, upper/lowercase Ns and Is, etc., especially with the cover image included in the article having a lower-case 'n' and 'nine inch nails' entirely in lower case. I thought about trying to fix it, but I think it needs a *lot* of work, more than I can afford at the moment. -- 128.240.225.120 (talk) 09:28, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?

[edit]

"...she died after jumping onto a railing of a three-story balcony to leg injuries and a cancellation of a concert, during the Self Destruct Tour." The dog died [due] to a cancelled concert?

Multi-Tracks (for re-mixing purposes) of NIИ's "Broken" EP:

[edit]

I once had a link to an (I believe unofficial) set of multi-tracks for the entire 1992 Broken EP (not just "wish", but "last" & every other track), like those used to remix songs for official remixing contests held by the artist & record label or by other artists for an official remix release (like was done with the 'Fixed' mini-LP for this 'Broken' EP).

Does anybody know a link to which these may be (re-)acquired by any individual happening upon this article for the EP? (Please if someone retorts to this at all do not say they don't exist, I personally had them, I got them from someone who had it hosted on a server who gave me the link from at the "echoingthesound" (ETS) fan-site forum. My username there is the same as it is here; but my e-mail is from back when I had a dial-up connection and was hosted by the now defunct ISP, and so is a long expired address.

I can't find the contact information for an admin at the ETS forum without registering, so it seems, hopefully someone can get back to me, at least, with a contact e-mail for the administrator to be able to get back into that site and perhaps discover a stable hosted link for where to find these multi-tracks as downloadable content. However getting them for an external link to this article from anywhere elsewhere, and adding said external link for the multi-tracks: to better equip the viewer of this article with interest in this release, is ultimately my rationale for being able to pose this question in such a way here, to better the article in question.) Much hopes for affirmative feedback to getting this accomplished. Nagelfar (talk) 00:20, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it was only wish & last. I'll external link them. Nagelfar (talk) 21:52, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
