Reviews:
Not Essential, But Also Not Dreadful Let's face it, fans of the artist: While NIN has a lot of worthy material, the "Pretty Hate Machine" singles were only made for completists. Where others sometimes had authentic B-sides/covers, and actual interesting remixes, this was from a time when "interesting" and "remix" were an oxymoron.
I'm not a big fan of remixes, and I'll admit that the majority of the rest of the disc is very average, especially coming from NIN. "Get Down Make Love" raises the thing up a star. It's a pretty good cover of Queen that does not try to ape Queen. This song is the only thing that most people usually mention on the single, too. There are also three uninteresting remixes of "Sin", but I sort of like that "dub" mix. It's nice to think of "Sin" as a dub song. I am not a purist who hates this song being turned into a dance song, as I think it could have been worse. But if you must buy a single from this era, I must direct you to "Head Like a Hole". "The Downward Spiral" era was the only real time when the singles were worth owning, save the occasional exception. Besides, if you bought it, well... you bought it and it's there for something. And having just 4 tracks cannot be too bad. SIN Not much to say, three bad-ass mixes of "sin" plus a cover of some....Also if u dont already, PHM , DWN SPRL , FRGL , BRKN , .... A lot of waste, but get it for "Get Down Make Love" This is a tough single for me, as I think virtually every review of this points out-- really, its quite the weakest of the "Pretty Hate Machine" era Nine Inch Nails single, primarily because of how awful the "Sin" remixes are, but in the midst of this is the, "Get Down Make Love".
The "Sin" mixes first though, remixed by Adrian Sherwood and Keith LeBlanc, who did a fine job with "Down In It", this song really doesn't match their techno beat restructuring, and in fact the aggression of the song is pretty much swallowed up in a programmed beat and irritating synth effects. The short version at least has the good sense to be brief, the dub mix carries on for several minutes with samples of "LIES" and "CONTROL" lifted from the song-- essentially five minutes of ok beats and really irritating synths. The long version feels somewhat better but is more or less the short version with part of the dub version spliced in the middle of it. The three mixes as a whole are totally unengaging and can be skipped.
But "Get Down Make Love" though, this is the great missing early Nine Inch Nails piece, produced by Al Jourgenson, Reznor takes a fantastic Queen song and restructures it into his own vision, staying true to the original but at the same time fully claiming it as his own. The result is tense, exciting, and extremely well done, and really is worth the price of the single.
My rating however is on the whole product, and as a whole, there's not much here, but that "Get Down Make Love" take is fantastic. If you've got the albums, dig this up for that track alone. It's too much! This Nine Inch Nails single features three remixes of "Sin". All three mixes are good. Even the dub version is interesting, unlike most dub versions of songs. But the thing that makes this CD a must-get for Nine Inch Nails fans is the cover version of Queen's "Get Down Make Love". It's really quite good. Artwork Buy it for "Get Down Make Love"
