Pretty Hate Machine | The Downward Spiral | The Fragile | With Teeth | Year Zero | Ghosts I-IV | The Slip | Hesitation Marks
- Sequel Gap: It was released six years after the band's previous studio album, The Fragile (1999).
- Working Title: The album had the working title Bleedthrough, as referenced in "Beside You in Time". It was intended to refer to layers of reality seeping into each other, but it was changed because Trent thought people were thinking of "blood or a tampon commercial."
