La idea de Trent Reznor para el album The Fragile es justamente eso, lo dañado, fragil, decadente, para eso combina letras bastante pesimistas con el “sonido imperfecto” de la guitarra. Lo raro es que según el, el album no cumplió sus espectativas, en contraste es uno de los albumes de NIN con mejor recepción por parte de la critica… y bueh, no me imagino lo que sería este pedazo de album si encima le hubiera “salido bien”.

Les dejo dos de mis temas favoritos del album The Fragile:

The Fragile:

She shines
In a world full of ugliness
She matters
When everything is meaningless

Fragile
She doesn’t see her beauty
She tries to get away
Sometimes
It’s just that nothing seems worth saving
I can’t watch her slip away

I won’t let you fall apart

She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
Hoping someone can see
If i could fix myself i’d-
But it’s too late for me

I won’t let you fall apart

We’ll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I’ll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
But they keep waiting
And picking

It’s something i have to do
I was there, too
Before everything else
I was like you

The Wretched + The Frail (Instrumental):

(no encontre una versión grabada en mejor calidad :S)

just a reflection
just a glimpse
just a little reminder
of all the what abouts
and all the might have
could have beens
another day
some other way
but not another reason to continue
and now you’re one of us
the wretched

the hopes and prays
the better days
the far aways
forget it

it didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
it didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?

now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like

the clouds will part and the sky cracks open
and god himself will reach his fucking arm through
just to push you down
just to hold you down
stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
and it’s hard to believe it could come down to thisback at the beginning
sinking
spinning

and in the end
we still pretend
the time we spend
not knowing when
you’re finally free
and you could be

but it didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn’t turn out quite the way that you wanted it

now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like

you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
you can try to stop it but

Nexuiz 2.5 alucinante! :)

Este fin de semana me descargue la nueva versión de Nexuiz y debo decir que estoy muy impresionado, la calidad gráfica ha mejorado mucho, y se ha optimizado el rendimiento del juego.  Aquí les adjunto algunas imágenes.

Con mi placa actual en máxima calidad (HDR, Bloom, Offset+Relief Mapping, y luces dinámicas) es injugable, apenas consigo unos 8 o 9 frames por segundo.

Reflecciones en la más alta calidad, HDR y Offset/Relief Mapping activado

El arma seleccionada: Electro, el arma que esta en el suelo es el mortero.

No obstante desactivando Offset mapping, luces dinámicas,  HDR y bajando la calidad de las reflecciones, los frames no bajan de 20 (jugable) y en la mayoría de los mapas se mantienen a 30 FPS.

Mapa: Stabilized Warfare
