"Take a dark Nine Inch Nails song and make it four times darker. Each remix is a bit different from each other. all in all, portray a dark and dismal atmosphere, in an audio-theatrical presentation. each remix tells a different story of closer. some of the sounds produced from this session could be described as a scraping, shredding sound with rythmic pounding and animal instinctive foreplay of industrial rock, with pulverizing smashes and crippling, flesh wrenching fiascos, produced in sounds. in regards to an older review, there is a closer two disc, it must not have been available back in 2000, but there is an EP from 1994 that was recently reissued (late `00/early `01) it's the Closer to God ep. it's a combo of both Parts 1 and 2 (Halo 9), you'll notice that neither Part One nor Part Two has a Halo number with it......Closer and it's remixes are great in every aspect, buy this disc, or Closer To God for the the full effect."
One of NIN's best

"I've got to hand it to Trent, though - he is definately one of the masters of the remix. The only bad thing is the best mix of "Closer" - "Closer to God" isn't included on this CD. However, the best mixes of Closer are deviation and precursor. I found the "further away" mix to be a little irritating. Overall, a good selection of remixes. I'd give it 4.5 stars. Love that cover, too."
"once again, ol' trent hits us with his absolutely inimitable lusty driving beat. the lyrical content is always where trent is at, forcing the listener back to the last time they felt thay way. whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, that is really up to you, but at the end of the day, it's nice to know that someone else feels your pain. and in so many different ways, too...Mutlee, musician (uk)"

"Closer is one of those songs that made the `90's memorable. The originality in the sounds, video, music and lyrics. Halo 9 is the US version of Closer, but the import is not marked with a halo number. WHERE CAN I FIND closer part 2??? Can't find it anywhere!!!!"
