| I agree whole heartedly, this song never fails to put me to sleep. And it builds up so well to the great below, which is one of my favorite tracks on the fragile. | |

| You guys are dumb. It IS "of course" you can hear it, because it's a playoff OF into the void, just as The Frail is to The Fragile. So yes. OF COURSE you can hear it cuz that's the point. Its not like he through in Into the Void quietly into the background for us to hardly hear, it's the same friggin riff. Just as the piano in The Frail plays the exact same notes as the guitar solo in The Fragile. | |
