As much as I enjoy having a nice physical LP, I’m not paying eighty dollars for a bizarro world Fragile. The EP, though, I’m all over. I, uh. Is anyone getting the… physical component?

Man I really, really love The Fragile and would normally be down for any sort of weird outtake/deconstruction of it, but $80 for a bunch of records I can’t play feels like a bridge or three too far. ---

Yeah, I’m working hard to justify this. Vinyl is way too steep these days. I did spring for the “physical object” though. ---

In some alternate timeline where I still live in a large apartment and own a record player, I probably just bought the Pretty Hate Machine and Broken LPs. ---

It’s mostly just a curio and it’s bizarre you can’t buy it digitally on its own, same with the _The Fragile_ Definitive Edition. I know Reznor pretty much expects people to download it otherwise but still. Anyway, _Not The Actual Events_ is probably the best thing under the NIN name since _Year Zero_ (or _Ghosts_, but I keep forgotting to slot is along with the rest of the catalogue, it stands apart pretty significantly). I’ll be curious to see how much whatever’s due next year intends to follow or deviate from it. > **[Nine Inch Nails Plan 'Two New Major Works' for 2017](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/nine-inch-nails-plan-two-new-major-works-for-2017-w457669)** > > Fresh off releasing Nine Inch Nails' new EP 'Not the Actual Events,' Trent Reznor talked about the band's 2017 plans in a chat with Beats 1 Radio.
