Review:
Nine Inch Nail's second single, this time focusing on "Head Like a Hole" and "Terrible Lie." Some of these are remixes that not many people appreciate, but it shows the progression of Trent Reznor's musical talents. Although you can get all of Halo 1 on this cd don't think you can neglect Halo 1, and don't think that Halo 3 is a waste of cash!

Music: Sounds good, the only songs I didn't like were "You know who you are" and "Terrible Lie 'sympathetic mix'", these are still good quality sounds, with solid base and drum loops.

Cover Design: Cluttered, this, in my honest opinion, is the crappiest looking NIN album. Gary Talpas, what were you thinking?

Collectability: Advice: collectors, true NIN fans, buy it! casual NINites, and people with low budgets, you may want to wait on this one.

Rarity: If you want it, get it fast, it's slowly disappearing from warehouses and cool stores, like Hot Topic. This is a fairly rare one, but not extinct yet.
