 | Great cd...Unmentionable price!
rating: 5
This cd marks a milestone in nine inch nails history.. Never have they put out a cd not officially marked, etc. Considering the fact that all other singles(imported) and Japanese released albums offer a slightly different cover, an extra track, or simply different packaging, I would have to say that this is a one of a kind single for any nine inch nails fan. I purchased this cd at RecordTown for $14..of course this was back in 98 or 99 maybe. It has become ridiculous for people to price this cd so high for its "rarity" therefore, only pay as much if it is worth it to you. I will not drop the 40 dollars they want for THTF single and it is the only cd I don't own by nine inch nails. I am not losing sleep over not having it.. my 30some other nin cd's keep me company quite well. check out ebay and forgo the $224 you find here.

Collected Thoughts
rating: 4
I have mixed feelings about seeing this sell for 45-125 dollars everywhere. That's pretty messed up because it's just a single, but at the same time it's rare and it makes me even more proud of having paid 12.99 for it at a random FYE that had it last year, for no apparent reason.
As for how it sounds, it's a very good mix. Into The Void leads into We're In This Together, then The Perfect Drug (the version everyone makes a big deal of because it's a whopping 7 seconds longer than the one on the soundtrack) and finally The New Flesh, which was left off of the CD version of The Fragile. everythng here is available on other releases. Though it should be noted that The New Flesh is becoming scarce because many people don't buy vinyl, and quite reasonably, aren't ready to shell out 60 dollars for the blue WITT cd when it was in stores five years ago for $13.95.
It's one of my favourites in my collection, but mostly because it was a really lucky random find. At this point if you aren't a collector, don't buy it, because it's way too expensive now and there's some poor completionist out there right behind you hoping to get their hands on it.
And for the sake of repeating what everyone else is drilling into your heads, this is totally un-haloed, but is still an official single. It's in the line up, you heard it all over the radio, it sold in regular retail in it's day, and it's nothing records approved, blah blah blah, it's official. The Fragile era section of my collection would feel empty without it.
EDIT: hey they brought the price down to what I paid for it. That's prett hot, except they don't have it in stock. Oh well.

I was able to snatch this cd at a tower records store back when it came out, for around $5-$10..Its a shame to see it going for upwards of $40 on ebay and whatnot..
either way..great cd..

The joys of good music and wonderful accidents
rating: 5
This CD is definitely my favorite among the NIN singles in my collection (yeah, okay, so all the tracks are available elsewhere, but its the combination of the songs on this one that just WORKS).
However, its always been a mystery to me. That is, until I ran into its product page a few minutes ago.
I'm not really sure when or where the hell I picked up this CD (considering the fact that I've never been to Australia), but it was incredibly cheap at the time, and I figured that since it came in a plain-ish cardboard sleeve and had no Halo number, it was just some unofficial random thingamajig.
Damn, talk about miraculous accidents. good stuff. a must-buy if you can get your hands on it.

Great
rating: 5
This is a great CD with 4 of the best NIN songs out there. This CD is very hard to find because it was only released in Australia and not many were produced. A great item for you collectors to show off to your friends!
