Things Falling Apart (also known as Halo 16) is an album by Nine Inch Nails released in 2000. Things Falling Apart is the sixteenth official Nine Inch Nails release and is the companion remix disc to The Fragile. The unofficial U.S. promo CD for Into the Void is also labeled as Halo 16.

The remix of "10 Miles High", originally a Fragile B-side (although it can be found on the triple vinyl release), is almost identical to the album version, except that the left and right signals are reversed.

"Metal" is a cover of the Gary Numan song originally released on The Pleasure Principle. This song, though not written by Reznor, seems to sum up the experience of The Fragile-era Nine Inch Nails with its melding of man and machine, human and computer, realtime and sequenced.

Like previous remix albums, this one employs heavy use of audio experimentation (heavy glitching effects on The Frail (version).) The last track, a Starfuckers remix involved heavy use of layering, reverb and delay, low and hi-pass filtering, buffer effects, vocoding, warping and distortion till it gives the apparence of crashing at the end. (Almost like Charlie Clouser's DAW could not take anymore.)
