CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Here's where the trippier directions of the electronic movement run smack into its Sturm-und-Drang industrial heritage. Trent Reznor's peak achievement through 1997 is reshaped five times over with profoundly weighty beats, dub textures, and trance soundscapes. The Orb's mix, which makes Reznor sound like he's drowning in his bathtub, is a bit silly, but otherwise this is fascinating stuff. --Jeff Bateman Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsNot a single version of The Perfect Drug on it Said Head | MN, USA | 01/30/2009 (1 out of 5 stars) "I understand that Reznor has never been that happy with this particular song, whether it was about his drug use at the time, the over-produced qualities of the song, or all the other stuff that I've heard about whyever. But when I first learned of this single I had thought it was different VERSIONS of the song, like remixes but retaining the usual structure of the song, like what NIN had done with David Bowie's 'I'm Afraid of Americans', but this is quite unlike that in every way. But what's worse than 5 boring techno tracks with little samples of the original pasted on is the fact that the original version is not on here (though it is included on the UK release I think). I thought it was being that one of the 'versions' was by Nine Inch Nails, assuming I did that if I didn't like the rest of the tracks I'd still have the original, but no. So, if you don't like any shapes, forms, or stinking piles of techno leave this alone, and get the Lost Highway soundtrack instead, a brilliant compilation album to an equally brilliant movie, not to mention the fact that you get two additional NIN tracks, plus two remixes by Reznor of the Bowie song 'I'm Deranged, to fill your NIN obsession." Least Favorite of all NIN "remixes" J. Blocker | 06/04/2009 (1 out of 5 stars) "I'm a big fan of NIN, I collect all thier CD's, DVD's and VHS tapes and I LOVE 99.9% of everything I've heard and seen, including the remix CD's. This CD falls into the .1% of "Hate It" category. I would prefer to get my teeth drilled to having listen to the CD again. I'll keep it in my collection because I am a Collector." Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug Versions DJ Deathwish | Tucson, AZ | 04/22/2008 (2 out of 5 stars) "When i first heard The Perfect Drug, I was blown away, it's an amazing song, so I of course snapped up The Lost Highway soundtrack and then this CD when it was released. To my complete surprise, The Perfect Drug was not on the disc! In it's place were 5 unrecognizable remixes. Sub-par at best, this release was a great disappointment, and while the remixes were not all bad, they did completely wreck an otherwise beautiful song, and that is unforgiveable. So needless to say, this CD single is best avoided unless you a fan of the remixers or a NIN completist."
