If you read the reviews - opinion is clearly split on this little EP!
Personally, i loved it when it first came out, and 15 years on, its actually matured with age!
I'm going to polarise further with this remark - but this is one for the connoisseur of industrial. It harks back to the earlier days of industrial, before the genre was hijacked by overused guitars and standard (boring) metal overtones. The sound is minimal and bleak. The samples are choice and abrasive. Vocals are repetitive but effective. And the programming, even 15 years on, its absolutely awesome. Man, this is just a classic - similar in tone to the late 80's output of Ministry. (Think 'stigmata' etc). And if all that interests you - then buy the ... Read More:

For every Sin or Starf**kers Inc., Trent Reznor has a habit of making half a dozen pieces of unlistenable nonsense. There's an over-indulgent mess of feedback, jarring noise and over-repetative sampled vocals. The J G Thirlwell remixes are particularly bad. Overall it's the sound of a man with his head up his own .. well, you know the rest. This is not music.

After the excellent Broken, that adopted a more metal stance than the electronica laden Pretty Hate Machine, Trent Reznor went away and created something with more of a Techno flavour - and it tastes delicious!
This CD contains remixes of songs from the Broken EP, but, unlike Broken, it's action from the off - Reznor chose to drop the brief but wonderful interlude-like tracks Pinion and Help Me I'm In Hell.

It begins with Gave Up, a remix of the track from Broken with the same name, and it gives you a taste of what is to come throughout the maxi-single. By rearranging and cutting up the vocals from ... Read More:

Forget what the rest have said! This CD takes the musical excellence of Broken, and gives it a twist in conjunction with other like minded DJ's and composers, to create NIN with a twist.
Some of the best tunes I've ever heard, all with the unique NIN sound, combined with the thoughts and influences of others. Pure class in a CD case!

After the breath taking Pretty Hate Machine and the fabulous Broken..Fixed was a bit of a let down for many..It is primarly just re-mixed and different versions of songs on the Broken EP..With Fist F*** being perhapps the greatest let down for me...Screaming Slavery is an interesting mixed of Industrial and Techno which isn't really NIN at all but there's not getting away from the fact that Fixed and Broken broke cover to let perhapps the most significant album in NIN's caterlog 'The Downward Spiral' to take over and become a huge success....
