Scared of Fear

That ambient bit just before Sean Penn smacks the pool balls is totally The Frail by NIN. Was like damn that ambience sounds familiar and finally clicked as to what it reminded me of-the bit just before it goes into The Wretched.

I was thinking the same thing! The Fragile album by NIN is such a masterpiece from start to finish, and it has aged very well. I love putting that one on repeat. And the part that you mention in The Frail, as it enters The Wretched, is such a cool moment. How the soft atmospheric swell builds up, and then boom, in comes the instruments. For Scared of Fear, the pool que hit would be right when The Wretched starts.

Highly recommend The Fragile by NIN for a unique musical journey.

There have been some great openers in past album; once, go, last exit, sometimes, brain of J, breakerfall, getaway and who ever said. But this might outshine all of them.

Shew quite a thing to say. I need some time.
But I don’t blame you for saying that.

What a gem of a song!

I think it’s behind Once and Go, but it’s the best opener to a record since Vs imo. I wonder how that holds in a few years time but for now i cant get enough of it

I can not stand with the Last Exit slander!
