Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): Largely unessential remixes. . "Things Falling Apart" is the remix album that followed "The Fragile", and is remixes of material from that record.  After the high standard set by "Further Down the Spiral", I had lofty expectations, and that could be effecting my opinion of this one, I largely found that this album falls short of its predecessor in all ways.    It could be the choice of material-- largely sticking to the song forms, I think the remixers missed an opportunity to really place with something atmospheric and create something unique-- I mean, did we really need three versions of "Starf***ers, Inc"?  I find the original to be subpar, and remixing a weak song isn't going to produce a strong one, regardless of the efforts Sherwood, Oglivie, and Clouser put into their remixes.  Ditto for Hillibrandt's take on "The Wretched"-- its not one of the stronger pieces on the record.  And where's the remixes of "We're In This Together" or instrumentals like "Just Like You Imagined" or "Complication"?  This material has a depth and detail to it that suggest it could well receive a remix.    Now mind you, its not all bad on here, Reznor and Moulder's reconstruction, "The Great Collapse" (pulling in samples from at least a couple songs and layering them on top of a good beat) is very listenable, Benelli's remix of "The Frail" as a string piece may surpass the original in terms of delicate beauty, and the cover of Gary Numan's "Metal" is fantastic.  But overall, this is somewhat of a weak effort
