@pinkfloid: Doing it right now. Waiting for Ripe (With Decay) to break down into Somewhat Damaged. Man, I love that guitar riff from The Big Come Down in the second part of this instrumental. It simply HAS to work well. Great! Feels a bit like listening to the Fragile on repeat. It just was weird to start off with The Way Out is through. And it's weird to break the storyline of the record ... or at least what I've interpreted as its story. :D

@pinkfloid: Thats the exact thing that I've just inadvertently done, and I have to say I certainly agree with youu.

there has been a theory posited that the Fragile may have been intended for listening not Left to Right but Right to Left. It has been noted that in certain world cultures right comes first and left follows. If one opens with the Right disc of the Fragile, Ripe (with Decay) is a nice instrumental composition bridging the story arcs of discs Right and Left. (I personally feel that beginning the album with The Way Out Is Through and beginning part 2 with Somewhat Damaged makes a lot of sense thematically and sonically). Take the sad, brutal trip from TDS and begin a new one afresh going Right to Left...I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

This is one of the best (if not the best) instrumental song i've heard.

This track is quite ambiguous, I think. It stands for the end as well as a new beginning... like a phoenix of sorts....

Took me some time to realise what a great piece of music this truly is, fantastic end to The Fragile.

a bit reminds of ''the thing that should not be'', you know, that guitar sound and crap

You've got a nice story on the Right side of the album. It goes up and down, and when you've reached Underneath It All, it feels like an end, like a sort of closure, like it's done. ..and then comes Ripe. It cements everything under a thick layer of defeat. The pressure builds up and that piano insanity destroys you. And then you think it's done, with the bass standing still, the heartbeats stopped and the flies buzzing.. but it's not, the final lazy bass line creeps in, the noise comes with those faint echoes of a voice, and it starts falling apart for the last time, until all that is left is that noise. And THEN.. then it is done.
