Originally published in Nine Inch Nails Press Release on August 26, 1999

New York -- On September 21, 1999, nothing records will release the highly anticipated nine inch nails album "The Fragile" worldwide. The first full-length studio album in five years, "The Fragile" was produced by Trent Reznor and engineer/mixer Alan Moulder. On CD, "The Fragile" features 23 tracks and will be available as a double disc set. The cassette and vinyl editions will be offered in slightly different versions.

Dubbed "The Decade�s Most Anticipated Album" by Alternative Press, "The Fragile" sees Reznor returning with vision expanded and range broadened without compromise. "There was no settling involved with the making of this record," he says. "I wanted to try new things, fully utilizing the studio while putting more effort into melody and structure. As a fan, I want to listen to something more than just singles and filler. I want something that I can listen to a million times, trying to get more out of it with each spin. That's the kind of record I tried to make here."

"The Fragile" was recorded in New Orleans at nothing studios. The album's first single "We're In This Together" is scheduled for release to radio stations worldwide via satellite on August 27th.

nine inch nails have confirmed their performance on the "MTV Video Music Awards" on September 9, 1999, marking their first televised awards show appearance.
