Album Details:
Limited Re-press of this Long Deleted Australian Exclusive EP. Features Five Mixes of the Title Track, plus the Original Version Not Available on the USA Version.
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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great CD for Remix Lovers
- If it's the basic/radio version of Perfect Drug you're into, buy the Lost Highway soundtrack. Not only is the "original" song on there, but also tons of other great material.
- I agree with others who say this does still sound like NIN - remixes are meant to sound different - listen to the previews to judge whether it's too abstract for your taste.
- The three-star rating does not reflect different interpretations of the song - these are abundant and their multitude justified ... Read More
Rating:  - Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug Versions
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 ... Read More
Rating: - good, but flawed
the mixes on this cd are great. its not the typical nin remix cd that most are familiar with.
the song the perfect drug is remixed here by 4 electronica/techno groups plus nin.
all the mixes are great, and its definitely an album you can play over and over.
but i REALLY wish they wouldve included the original version on it.
i bought this cd without having heard the original [which i now own thanks to itunes] and i was pretty happy with it.
this is a good cd for halo collectors, and ... Read More
Rating:  - What happened to the original version????????
I loved the original version from "The Lost Highway". I only found out that I had to buy that soundtrack to find the original version not featured on this overwritten piece. To make a long story short, buy "The Lost Highway" soundtrack.
Rating:  - A Top-Ten Electornic Album
(Background: I am a NIN fan, he's perhaps second only to Simon Posford on my list. Further, I'm an electronica fan. I love the stuff. I WRITE the stuff. Lastly, I NEVER HEARD the original song, don't own the soundtrack, and don't care to.)
This is absolutely one of the best purchases I have ever made.
Perhaps if you're an NIN fan for the lyrics (?!?) or the "heavy metal" aspects, then you would not like this album. There's barely 60 seconds of vocals on this disk, and they're all just ... Read More
