'''''Things Falling Apart''''' is the second [[remix album]] by the American [[industrial rock]] band [[Nine Inch Nails]], released by [[Nothing Records]] and [[Interscope Records]] on November 21, 2000. It is the companion remix disc to the band's third studio album, ''[[The Fragile (Nine Inch Nails album)|The Fragile]]''. The U.S. promotional CD single for "[[Into the Void (Nine Inch Nails song)|Into the Void]]" is also labeled as "Halo 16".<ref>{{cite AV media notes |title="[[Into the Void (Nine Inch Nails song)|Into the Void]]" |type=US promotional CD single |others=[[Nine Inch Nails]] |publisher=[[Nothing Records]] |year=1999 |id=INT5P-6754}}</ref> "10 Miles High" is the only song that was a [[B-side]] to a Nine Inch Nails single to be included on the album, though the version on this release differs from the album/B-side version. It was only released on the vinyl version of ''The Fragile'', while appearing as a B-side to the band's 1999 single "[[We're in This Together (Nine Inch Nails song)|We're in This Together]]".

Unlike ''The Fragile'', which received mostly positive reviews, ''Things Falling Apart'' was critically panned by reviewers and even received a sarcastic rating of 10/10 from ''[[NME]]''.{{cn|date=May 2025}}
