Free Music Notes for The Hand That Feeds
Free Music Review: Not the finest, but still the ''NIN'' fealing...
Hit: 4 Stars
the ones who makes critics to the new stuff from NIN ... 1- are not real fans....2- are music critics wannabes who set their expectations to high... ok this is not ''Spiral'' but is far better than other crap floating around (rap and stupid punk rockers teens). NIN RULES!!! BUY THIS IF YOU LIKE NIN. NIN MANDA!!! COMPREN ESTE CD Y ESCUCHENLO EN UN EQUIPO DECENTE!!Free Music Review: The Hand that feeds
Hit: 4 Stars
I think that this is a interisting single. Although It didnt score a 5 I think people should check it out. It is more of a dance remix instead of a rock remix.Free Music Review: I enjoy the remixes better than the actual song...
Hit: 4 Stars
This song should have been more house oriented in the first place. Although the original isnt bad, Photek funked it up.Free Music Review: What's Trent trying to prove?
Hit: 3 Stars
This is not so much a review on the single itself, but more of a comment on the shenanigans Trent seems to be pulling with this release.
First of all, I know he likes to release UK edition singles (so that we end up paying for a ridicilous IMPORT price) but what's the deal with WITH TEETH? It seems like he's rubbing it in our faces that North America is getting neglected.
First of all, THE HAND THAT FEEDS single is released in a limited edition digipack to the UK only for only two-weeks (which, by the way, doesn't include the Video track that was advertised on NIN.COM - the video will be sold seperatly, on a DVD single - HALO 18 DVD). Apparently, Canada will get a digipack release of this single also on May 3rd, which means pretty much everyone got it except ... the States. Quick comments on this single: while people will have their own opinions about the quality of the songs and remixes, what ever happened to quality singles that we had with "THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL" that featured more then one track from the LP as well as original tracks? Secondly, NIN.COM seems to have forgotten about the editions of this single that they had said they were going to sell ... Thanks guys ... seems like all those UK ebayer's will have a gas selling their singles to us.
Speaking of which, NIN offered exclusive contests to UK fans only, which featured limited-edition NIN merchandise, such as the LP BOX that was limited to only 2000 copies. The box is intended to be used to collect the singles on vinyl as they are released. I know that these are already being sold for ridicilous amounts over ebay.
Which brings me to the CD itself. It seems that the edition of "WITH TEETH" that North America will recieve also lacks a few bonus quirks that European markets will receive. The German edition will have the "Home" track on it, while the Japanese version (which is already available) has this, plus two other bonus remixes.
Also, the CD will be released in both regular and Dual-Disc format, which will have a different, (barely) more interesting cover. Trent is praised for being one of the few artists not to have sold out, but by releasing different editions of the same product, it seems like he's doing it in his own subtle ways.
I guess I'm just tired of having to scramble around to make sure I have all the appropriate NIN products. Being a sucker-collecter since HALO 05, I'm left with little other options. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thankfully Trent didn't stick a HALO number on the vinyl box, or I'd be forced to buy that as well. Rather then that though, Trent has been less then helpful. This CD better rock!!!!
Free Music Review: Far Too Much Filler...
Hit: 3 Stars
Much like "The Day The World Went Away", this is sadly, one of the weaker singles, in the Nine Inch Nails discography. But unlike TDTWWA, this cd has nothing special on it, AT ALL to offer. TDTWWA had the quiet version of the said song...THTF has...nothing but 2 crappy remixes.
If the remixes were a bit better, this might have been a pretty good single. Or even if, the remixes weren't even on this cd, and were replaced, with "Home", and version 2 of "Right Where it Belongs", the single would've been WAY worth the money, beings it's an import. But sadly...this disc falls short of the i-deal Nine Inch Nails disc.
What we have here is a 3 track single. It's poorly composed of an album version, and 2 photek mixes, properly given the names, "straight mix", and "dub mix."
Don't get me wrong with this next statement but...both of these mixes totally blow. The straight mix, sounds absolutely like the album version, and is an alright mix, but sounds way too similar to the original. The dub mix is really stupid, and doesn't get interesting at ALL untill like 5 minutes into the song. But by then, there's only 2 minutes remaining for the song, and entire cd. Then furthermore, you just have nothing good to look forward to after 2 minutes have ended.
The album version is superb though. But I need not go into that, because you've all already heard it before. It's what's on the radio, and it's what'll be track 4 of With Teeth.
In the opinion of an eliteist of NIN, THTF, was defanantly NOT Trent's best choice of a single track, for the upcoming With Teeth album. The single should've been for the track "Every Day is Exactly The Same", or possibly "Only", but it wasn't...*sigh.* We can dream though can't we?
Hopefully the next single (after the album comes out..IF theres a next single) will be better than this one. Though I do usually enjoy MOST of Trent's workings, this is an exception. It sadly just falls too short of enjoyable, to gain much replay value in my cd player. Sadly, just like the Perfect Drug versions single, this is just composed of one too many crappy remixes, and not enough enjoyable stuff to give it a 5 star rating. And for that, I could only give it 3 stars. But, it does come with the Music Video for the album version of the title track, which is pretty cool. I guess you could get this single for it, and maybe the album version...but overall, I wouldn't reccomend it unless you're a hardcore halo collector, or a fan of (for the 2nd time ever) crappy Nails remixes.
Better luck next time, Trent.
