 | | Rather than serve as just a collection of alternate versions of songs from "The Downward Spiral" (arguably NIN's greatest achievement, though I think "The Fragile" edges it out slightly), it is actually more like the second of a two CD set, with the original "Spiral" as the first volume. |
 | | "The Downward Spiral (The Bottom)", Reznor's ode to suicide, is a journey into the netherworld of eerie, ambient sounds, backed by a slow, halting version of a recurring melodic figure from "Closer" (which does not otherwise appear on this album, instead being reserved for its own collection of remixes). |
 | | "Further Down the Spiral" is a lot more than a collection of variations on the themes of "The Downward Spiral"; it is an emotionally gripping journey of its own. |
