Customer Reviews Who'd pay $70... . . To buy this CD? Just go and buy it at a local music store! This Cd has the songs 10 Miles High and The New Flesh in it, 2 non-cd tracks! buy it!. Marketing masterpiece for collectors only. Each starts with the title track,then adds two more. In what was no doubt conceived by some marketing whiz somewhere, one single was split across three discs, each with three tracks. And grand total, exactly two tracks were not previously released. This is the first part, containing the full version of the superb (if a bit overlong) "We're In This Together". Added to this are two extra tracks, both originally on "The Fragile" LP (vinyl) release: "10 Miles High" builds nicely, but never really goes anywhere (although I suspect it may have done better in sequence on the record). "The New Flesh" is essentially several minutes of industrial noise and brief vocals. Is this really worth it? Not really, neither of the other tracks are really much to write home about. For completionists only. Five stars and a reason why Those not wishing to own every Nine Inch Nails release out there may not want to shell out $12 for an import. Let's be clear. Yet, since "We're In This Together" was not released state-side as a single (excepting the radio single which is rare and which I own), it would seem aside from owning "The Fragile" (which you should), here is the best way to own the full version of "WITT". Now, this is all discounting the fact that this single, with the other two 'parts', are what make the official Halo Fifteen. And if you're out there to collect all official halos and whatever else Trent Reznor puts out, why WOULDN'T you pay $12? The tracks "10 Miles High" and "The New Flesh" were included only on the vinyl edition of "The Fragile" (and I'd like to note that this is not a marketing ploy; Reznor explains that the added and subtracted tracks for CD, vinyl, and cassette editions were for continuity, and if you've ever listened to both the Left and Right sides at the same time, you'll know why). I rate this single separately from the other two parts of Halo Fifteen, and I give it five stars for one simple reason. Not the price. Not the length. Not any imaginary marketing ploy. I rate it for reasons albums and singles should be rated: All three songs are good. Simply put, but with a large proceeding explanation. .
