'''''The Fragile: Deviations 1''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 30]]''''') is an alternate, instrumental take on ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]'' by [[Nine Inch Nails]]. It began shipping in June 2017, but was released digitally in December 2016 to those who ordered the physical product from [[nin.com]].
The digital release includes expansive artwork in PDF format, including some imagery not seen in the original version of the album. The vinyl comes with a digital download card. There was no standalone retail digital release, and no CD release.
On December 24, 2016, [[Trent Reznor]] stated [https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/showthread.php?p=331874#post331874] on [[Echoing The Sound]] that: "When a track from Deviations says (Instrumental), that's because at some point that track had vocals on it. Those could be finished, a demo or just an outline." For info about alternate versions of tracks that were already instrumentals, see the individual track pages.

''The Fragile: Deviations 1'' was designed by [[Corey Holms]], who gave the following info[https://www.coreyholms.com/music#/nine-inch-nails-deviations-2/] on his site:
<blockquote>The ''Deviations'' album by Nine Inch Nails, is a reimagining of ''The Fragile'', where songs are reworked, remixed and made instrumental. It felt very appropriate then to recrop, and recontextualize the [[David Carson]] photography from ''The Fragile'' for the ''Deviations'' album to fit that theme. And importantly, it made sense to remove all text from an instrumental album, so there is no text on the jacket, or the sleeves at all.</blockquote>
