}}'''"The New Flesh"''' is a song originally exclusive to the vinyl version of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]],'' disc 1 of the European and Japanese ''[[We're In This Together (halo)|We're In This Together]]'' single, and the Australian ''[[Into The Void (halo)|Into The Void]]'' single. On the vinyl edition of ''The Fragile,'' "The New Flesh" comes immediately after "[[Complication]]," ending that side.

===The New Flesh===
This is the original version. Fading in with a synthesizer whine and various manipulations and reversed effects, Reznor's spoken vocals are accompanied by clocks ticking, a synthesized bass loop and chromatic piano improvisation, the latter a feature shared with "[[The Way Out Is Through]]." The layers ebb and flow through the first half of the track, eventually crossfading with a distorted full band coda, similar in composition to the muffled ending of "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]." As the guitar, bassline and drums fade in, Reznor yells over top, eventually joined by loud crowd loops. The entirety of this 3/4 coda fades out and filters down the low and mid frequencies, the high pitches stopping suddenly.
===The New Flesh (Instrumental)===
Released on ''The Fragile: Deviations 1'' version. Also known as "The New Flesh" (Alt) when it was originally released on Apple Music as part of ''The Fragile Instrumental''. Both versions are musically identical.
===The New Flesh (thingsfallingapart.com version)===
'''''Running Time: 1:19''''' Used as accompanying music for the official [[thingsfallingapart.com|website]] for ''[[Things Falling Apart]]'', this short remix was released officially through [[remix.nin.com]] as a high quality MP3 in 2007. Also released in this fashion was another, [[Untitled (from thingsfallingapart.com)|untitled piece of music]]. Those two tracks, prior to remix.nin.com, were ripped from thingsfallingapart.com and called "The New Flesh" (Version A) and "The New Flesh" (Version B). Compared to their officially-released 2007 counterparts, Version A and Version B are basically the same, with minor mastering and fade out variations.
===Complications Of The Flesh===
'''''Running Time: 6:38'''''
This remix, created by [[Danny Lohner]], combines "The New Flesh" with "[[Complication]]" and appears exclusively on Part 3 of the ''We're In This Together'' single.
