i was pretty excited when i saw the mp3 on the newsgroups and grabbed it.
very dissappointed, for some reason expected so much more, but the above
describes it pretty well, with parts of the nin track rising up through the
beat
throughout:... was pretty unimpressed and mot likely my least favorite
nin remix (big fan of nin remixes and this failed to live up to
expectations)

sadly, for those who are, so did the nin single in general. i liked all
previous
releases quite abit and had come to expect a change in style and sound
(while maintaining a degree of stylestealin' & linestealin' from every
conceivable influence) but the new tracks seemed quite a bit like material
off the downward spiral in that they did the big build up, loud loud then
quiet thing. liked it quite a bit on ds, but had hoped for a change come
the new material (especially with the new company that nothing
has been keeping, was hoping we'd see reznor take stab at the 'idm'
style, which i fear would be far more interesting than quite a bit of what
has been hitting these ears lately)

buy the new vvm. ITS OFFALLY GOOD
