5.0 out of 5 stars
One single track makes this ALL worth buying..., August 25, 2005
This review is from: Only (Audio CD)
And that track is the live take of, "Love is Not Enough." The total and utter RAW essence of this version of the song, is an absolute IMPERFECT perfection. None of it is done with computers. This is the ACTUAL BAND (as seen live) playing the song in studio. Trent SERIOUSLY needs to release things like this more. If he were to release a band-based album like this, completely raw and imperfect, alot of fans would probably love him more than they already do, for doing so. They actually made the song BETTER by making it IMPERFECT.
Aside from that song that i've already had on repeat for the past 15 minutes, we have yet again another CRAPPY remix of, "The Hand That Feeds." Why Trent decided to put his faith in yet another crappy THTF remix as filler on his 2nd single, is beyond me. This is probably the ONLY (pun not needed) reason NOT to get this single.
Then finally, we obviously have the title track, "Only." The really good song, with the really stupid video. Get this version of the cd, as it's less expensive and doesn't contain that stupid assed music video for "Only." It's a waste of visual ability. But the song itself is good.
All in all...the MAJOR reason to get this, is for the raw version of, "Love is Not Enough." That track alone, will keep you coming back for more on this cd. And it alone is why i'm giving this cd 5/5 stars. It's just that good! That and "Only" is a good track.
Congratulations Trent...you redeemed yourself with this single. It doesn't suck like the "The Hand That Feeds" single did. The only flaw on this single is yet another CRAPPY assed THTF remix. A word of advice Trent...lay off the THTF remixes. The least you could've done is made this single FLAWLESS by putting "Home" on here, instead of that remix. If that were done, this would be a PERFECT single.
2/3 tracks are great. And 5 stars for 1 track being A+++ material.
Get this, I highly reccomend it. Especially for track 3.

Only, July 26, 2005
This review is from: Only (Audio CD)
This is a must-buy for anyone who really enjoyed With Teeth. On it is a smooth remix of the first single, The Hand That Feeds, a studio recording of All The Love In The World, and the new single, Only. If The Hand That Feeds is one of those songs that really grabs you and pulls you into it, I would suggest getting this single along with the first single off of With Teeth (The Hand That Feeds). If you are new to NIN then go buy The Downward Spiral and Ministry's Twitch. Then you can really get into the "industrial groove". haha. Industrial groove....

Not What I Expected, March 4, 2009
This review is from: Only (Audio CD)
This was a present for my boyfriend who collects NIN music. When I got it, it was in a flimsy, aftermarket looking case and the artwork did not appear to be original. I doubt this is the way this single was originally sold. If I hadn't had to wait so long to get this to my boyfriend, I would have tried to send it back.
