This, the first single, actually preceeding The Downward Spiral, is a nice little introduction to what The Downward Spiral would later come to sound like. Contents:

1. March of the Pigs - March of the Pigs. Y'know, booty beats and marching pigs. 4/5

2. Reptilian - An interesting remix of one of the best songs on The Downward Spiral. This one's got all kinds of crazy bleeps and bloops and weird computer malfunctioning sounds. The best Reptile remix. 4/5

3. All the Pigs, All Lined Up - Basically just a stripped down version of March of the Pigs made to sound like a live performance I suppose. It's okay ..I guess. 2/5

4. A Violet Fluid - A great instrumental piece which is almost dance-y, quite strange. I like it. 3/5

5. Underneath the Skin - Another remix of Reptile. I actually prefer the first remix of it on this EP, but whatever floats your boat. 3/5

A nice collectors item, but I wouldn't recommend it to new listeners.

halo.seven,intro to the downward spiral...THIS IS THE TRACK LISTING< FOOLS!!!!

MARCH OF THE PIGS...the original, we all know how that goes(or we should)...10/10
REPTILIAN...reptile remix, sounds basically the same but the music is pretty different, in a very good way...10/10
ALL THE PIGS< ALL LINED UP...march of the pigs remix, its just longer, with cheering in the background (which gets annoying to a point) and added liyrics at the end "dont you feel feel a whole lot better?"...10/10

A VOILENT FLUID...short instrumental song with a steady beat for an interlude...9/10
UNDERNEATH THE SKIN...reptil remix, basically instrumental, and doesnt REALLY sound like the actual song, but if you pay attention it stays a safe amount of close~ness to the song...10/10

this is a really great remix thingie, theres also a part 2 to this but its not THAT nessecary, cause all those songs are on here.

This was a preview of downward spiral and did a good job of capturing the feel of the new album. personally i think march of the pigs was a bad choice for the first single though...

The blistering energetic burst that is "March Of The Pigs" was Trent Reznor's first choice of single from his brilliant concept album "The Downward Spiral". The single picks up where the album leaves off and rather than providing the listener with filler and predictable trash it compliments and expands on already great songs.

The remixes of "Reptile" and "March..." have often been touted as better than the originals. But I prefer to view them as entirely different songs which are great in their own life. The short instrumental track acts as a perfect bridge between the industrial crunch of the various mixes and this small E.P. is definitely worth a listen. Alongside the "Closer" single and the remix album "Further Down The Spiral" this single shows just how worthwhile a reworking of a song can prove to be.

I really like March of the pigs and felt disappointed that this CD single has so little done with it. Check out the inferior song Closer, where there are so many other versions on that CD Single.

first of all, the remix of MOTP is a lot better than the original. "reptilian" is a great remix as well, "underneath the skin" and "a violet fluid" are also good.

A must for the halo collectors. A violet fluid is pretty strange and pointless. Reptilian is good. The march of the pigs is probably the most hypted up song on the downward sprial. At least the most energetic. The single is worth it for true fans. This origionally came in a 2 different packagings. I think only one is still available today.

This is the first single to be released for the Downward Spiral era, and what a way to start it off! On this release, we have two versions of March Of the Pigs, two of Reptile,and a short instrumental.
March of the Pigs is a short, energitic, catchy track. What more could you ask for?
Reptilian is a bit long, and quite good. A nice little twist on the album version of Reptile
All the Pigs, All lined up, is like a extended version of MOTP, though this is good. It builds and builds like crazy towards the end, making it the best song on the single.
A Viole(n)t Fluid is just a filler, leading into the so-so, instrumental, version of Reptile.
If you like MOTP, or the Downward Spiral, go on, get your 10 dollars, and buy this.
