Nice Little Package It has the album version of the song, two remixes, plus a live version of "Bled for Days" and an unreleased track entitled "Down". This is the maxi-single for Static-X's "Push It", the first single off their debut album. Also included is an enhanced portion, with some neat videos. Here's a review for the individual tracks:
1) Push It - 5/5 Awesome song, great riffs, everything.
2) Bled For Days (Live) - 5/5 Good song, sounds exactly like the album version, except of course it's live (people clapping, etc. ).
3) Push It (JB's Death Trance Mix) - 3/5 This is an okay remix, but I don't like the sound it gave to the song. Imagine the original version of the song, with added dance beats and lots of keyboard effects.
4) Down (Unreleased) - 4/5 This song is cool, however it sounds a lot like "Push It". Still a good track, nonetheless.
5) Push It (Mephisto Odyssey Remix) - 5/5 This is an awesome remix of "Push It". It gives the song a drum 'n bass feel to it, it sounds great. It's a little long though, about 6 and a half minutes to be exact.
Lastly, there's the enhanced portion. It has live footage of the band performing "Bled for Days", plus the video for "Push It".
Overall, this is a nice little package, and it's a good buy for those who either just like the song "Push It" and don't feel like getting the album, or for die-hard Static-X fans that want to get it in terms of collecting.
What happened to the good remixes!
The unrealeased track sounds a lot like push it, but its all good. I love the song "push it" but the remixes are not that great if great at all. "Bled for days" live, whats up with that its the same as the original version except there are stupid people claping and screaming yeah yeah yeah. . . Well This single is not that expensive and it was mostly good so go out and buy this baby. Oh this also has the video to "push it".
I Enjoy the Enhanced Portion
I put it on to watch the videos. When I put this on, I usually don't go for the remixes, actually, almost never. I think Push It is a great song, and the video is partially funny, with Static Man (the clay guy) running around, but the part with Wayne singing and the band playing is even better. I enjoyed seeing them live both times, and the Bled For Days part is a huge treat. Really cool footage. If you're low on cash and you want some new music or a new video, pick this up. It'll be in your CD-ROM for a long time.
Good Single
It has five tracks total (Push it, Push it (remix), Push it (diff remix), Bled for Days (live), and Down (non-album song). This single is really more then the average single. The two remixes are pretty good, although i think the first is the better of the two. Bled for days live is alright, and Down, which is really a demo and not a new song, is awesome. They also have push it and a live recording of bled for days videos for your comp encoded in the cd. All in all, a must have for static-x fans. Static-X has a new song on the "Negativity in Black 2: A tribute to black sabbath" album. Make sure to check that out. peace.
This Will Make Your Ears Bleed For Days
The CD is enhanced so plug'er into your comp to make sure you get your money's worth. This Cd from Static-X is a real ear full! The best track on their would have to be the live version of Bled for days. Not the greatest Cd but good for true fans like myself. Also an unreleased track so look for that. Good effort but expected more from these metal-gods!.
