A better pick than the U.S. version

That is, if you want to save yourself $ from the original price of the domestic. The tracks are the same but three tracks are at different places than the original. "Sin (Dub)" is actually the first on this. It's pretty cool though it's a bit repetitive. The cover of Queen's "Get Down Make Love" is the best track, not because everyone else thinks so, it just is. Either you like it or hate it, I don't really know how it would be just "okay" though. The "long" mix of "Sin" is pretty cool because it's still like the original with a different twist. If you are expanding your NIN collection, try this.

a must have

Of course if your collecting halo's this is a must have .. if you want to know what to pick up first this is only really better than the "head like a hole" and "down in it" singles.

The "sin" on this album is actually different than the original .. it sounds like trent just scraped the original and re-did it .. then used those for the remix.

Oh and the "get down make love" cover is classic must have NIN .. I used to love that song so much .. that it made it on about 2 dozen mix tapes of mine.

If your a casual fan who is just looking around for some extra NIN .. this isn't all that great..

I'm down with the Sin

First off, this is a single for big NIN fans. Those who casually listen might be turned off.
I for one found this to be a very good single. Of the "Pretty hate Machine" -era singles, this ties with "Head Like a Hole". Not only do you get the remixes, but you also get the cover of "Get Down Make Love", which rocks. Some of the remixes are kinda ify, hence the 4 stars, but overall it's worth it if you're really into NIN. I suggest it to anyone who is interested in playing music too.

One of the best Halos out there.

This has to be one of my favorite singles I have ever owned. "Sin" is one of my favorite NIN songs, and the remixes on this disc are divine. Mix that with "Get Down Make Love", and I am hooked. I hate to say it, but Trent's version of "Get Down Make Love" is far superior to the original. I love this disc, a must-have for any true NIN fan out there.

tsk, tsk, tsk

One thing that was a disappointment to me was that the Sin cd single does not actually have the album version of Sin. Now that that is out in the open, I'll go on to saying that this was not one of my favorite NIN cd singles, and is more for the halo collectors then casual fans. I'll go into a little bit of detail of the songs as follows:

Sin (long): I hate saying this, but, one word... weak. This track almost ruined the song for me. It's almost ridiculous. I skip it everytime this cd enters my stereo.

Sin (dub): As others have commented, this is the only track that feels like a remix. But, I still really don't like it. It would have been better an instrumental. This track has what ruined Long as it's only lyrics, the repetition of the words 'sin' and 'control'. Really terrible, is skipped like the song before it.

Get Down, Make Love: This is truely the best song on this. Before I was a NIN fan, I was a Queen fan (if you like this song, it's on News of the World) and I was not disappointed with the rendition that is portrayed onthis cd. No one can match Freddie Mercury at singing, however, Trent doesn't sing. He takes a different approuch and screams it. Bravo. (note, the sound clips are from the Original version)

Sin (short): Not as good as the original, however, it's listenable. The three remixes of Sin found on this cd all have one thing in common... a dance style drum part. I personally think that draws from the angst in the lyrics, but, some people like it. The only good thing about this track is that is doesn't go into a long annoying piece with the repitition of words that make the song lose meaning.

As a whole, I think the majority of this cd butchered one of the best NIN songs, but for the Queen cover, it's worth checking out.
