'''''Broken''''' (also known as '''''[[halo numbers|Halo 5]]''''') is an EP released in 1992. Although not technically so, ''[[Broken]]'' is usually considered [[Nine Inch Nails]]' second major release after ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'' since it consists entirely of new material; it was followed later that year by ''[[Fixed]],'' a companion EP of remixes of the songs on ''Broken.''
Music videos were shot for each song with the exception of "[[Last]]," "[[Physical (You're So)|Physical]]," and "[[Suck]]." These videos were included on the second part of the ''[[Closure]]'' VHS set. [[Peter Christopherson]] also compiled these videos along with an alternate version of "[[Gave Up]]" into what is known as the ''[[Broken Movie]]''.

===Bonus Tracks===
The first 200,000 copies included a 3.5" CD with the bonus tracks "Physical" and "Suck" in a small envelope inside the digipak. After discovering that some unscrupulous record store owners were selling the bonus disc as a separate entity, Reznor had the format changed and the EP was re-released as a single CD, with the bonus tracks occupying track numbers 98 and 99. Tracks 7 through 97 all contain 1–3 seconds of dead air, leaving a gap of 1:31–4:33 between "Gave Up" and "Physical"(You're So). Reznor has explained why the tracks were released as they were: ''"It was a way to distance them from the other music because it wasn't part of the same mind set. Unfortunately, the risk involved is, with radio being as conservative as it is, I knew they would jump on "Physical" or "Suck" because they're a bit more digestible than the other stuff, so I've tried to make them as obscure as possible."''[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xart196.shtml]
In 1995, Nine Inch Nails performed "Physical" live with Adam Ant for two nights in a row [[1995/01/06 New York City, NY|in New York City]]. After Reznor introduced Adam Ant and Marco Pirroni on the second night, Adam Ant proclaimed to the audience, "It's nice to be on stage with the best fucking band in the world."
