 Maybe short, but still great. NIN rules May 29, 2008
Yes there are only 3 songs on here but they each are different takes on a classic song of the same name. Some people say they dont hear much difference from these versions to the version thats on PHM, but they are different. Mostly on the production side of things. The "singe" remix is very different though, it is mostly drum programming and samples. Sort of like trent's version of a rap remix.
This is worth a listen and purchase because it is the HALO that started it all.
angelic resonance May 4, 2007
A lot of people try to write off Nine Inch Nails as noise. But I can only perceive this as angelic resonance. The first time I heard Down In It, I was on the beach, in the middle of the night, and I was shaken to the very foundations of my being. I knew instantly what the artist was singing about... the loss, the loneliness, the pain of a need so deep he would rather destroy himself than live without it... and if there was anything I possibly could have done, I would have done it to ease his suffering.
Listen closely to this music. This is the sound of despair.
I know it intimitely.
 Great song, but blah remixes. September 30, 2005
You know that song, "Down in It" by Nine Inch Nails, where he speaks to where it's almost in a rap, and there's lots of industrial noises on the chorus, etc? Well, that song _is_ included here in the form that also appears on the album. An entertaining song to say the least. I am just as big of a NIN fan as anyone else out there, but the TVT singles were really nothing to sneeze at. Especially "Down in It"'s single.
What makes this not worth owning? Well, others have explained that already. Besides, the remixes are boring, repetitive, and too long. If you are a halo collector, I guess you can get this. If you like the original "Down in It" and don't know if you want to get "Pretty Hate Machine" (a highly recommended album), I guess this too. But I feel that this single doesn't have the merit of the later ones like "Closer to God" and "March of the Pigs", truly great NIN singles.
a must have July 1, 2005

true, these songs can be found on halo 3, head like a hole single, but if you are a serious nine inch nails collector, this is a must have.
down in it, although not the best nine inch nails song out there, shows you the beginning on nin. this is the first song trent wrote as nine inch nails.
Decent, but of no real value-- material available elsewhere May 24, 2005

This single contains three mixes of "Down In It" by Adrian Sherwood and Keith LeBlanc-- the skin mix (which is the album mix available on "Pretty Hate Machine"), the shred mix, and the singe mix (the latter two both are available on the US "Head Like a Hole" single). Given that all this material is available elsewhere, the value of this CD is only to people (like me) who want to have a nice set of all the Nine Inch Nails halos (Reznor numbers all his releases with a "halo" number, I have no idea what the significance is).
The song itself is pretty well known, but in case you don't-- its a decent piece, catchy, nice rhythms-- primarily beats and effects over which Reznor speak-sings a sort of esoteric lyric thats been said to be about everything from a bad trip to a bad girl. The skin mix is concise and probably the best of the three, the shred mix is like the old 12" extended mixes-- its essentially the album mix with several minutes of additional beats and sampled vocals from earlier in the piece. The singe mix is a sort of dance mix with the vocal largely removed and relegated to a sample and is probably in my assessment the least enjoyable of the three mixes.
I'd give it three stars if it wasn't all available elsewhere on the strength of the material. Again, its for completionists only.
