Lite single with no B-Sides ....... is it still good?
But seriously not the best. Well from my star rating, yes! Yes it is. If you like club type remixes of politically energized songs then this will suite you just fine. I mean . . . . it's Nine Inch Nails, heck yea!!!.


Love it
I enjoy remixes as they tend to shed a different perspective to well-known songs. I bought this the same time With Teeth came out. I do own all the halos, so this was purchase not only because I like it, but also to complete my collection. If you like techno or house music, or enjoy industrial music with a twist, go for it.


Don't Kid yourself into this purchase
Honestly, I gave it a chance. I made fun of my best friend so badly when he bought it. We opened it and listened to it for the first time together. But halfway through the worst remix ever crafted by man, it was clear, that I would be making fun of him for his poor purchasing decision, for months to come. This is the worst remix every created. It is long and drawn out and has no merit or quality to it. Don't fool yourself into buying something you will never listen to and will hide from your friends.


For diehards only.
Second, I really don't care for "The Hand That Feeds". Let me start by putting out a couple of my biases before getting into this review-- first, I relaly don't care for remixes as a rule, unless they're dramatic and severely restructure a song, I generally find they add little.

Having said that, the piece is presented in three mixes, the album version, the Straight mix, and the Dub mix. The album version has a catchy, circular guitar line and a straightahead drum beat that's actually decent until the bridge with this bizarrely irritating spoken wordish section. Just doesn't work.

The remixes fare no better-- the Straight mix adds different rock beats and an extended introduction that eventually becomes tedious, the dub mix layers a grating sustained guitar note over a beat and a mumbled repeated take on the chorus.

If you're a fan, get it. If not, skip this one, there's good reasons it wasn't released in the U. S.
