3.0 out of 5 stars Only is the New Song a True Highlight, October 25, 1999
By A Customer
The song "13 x Forever" is the only reason to get this single. With an album version of "Special" (which is a great song, don't get me wrong) and an uninspired remix of "Special", you'll find you'll just tape the second track and never play the single it came on.

5.0 out of 5 stars SPECIAL PT.1 HAS A GREAT NEW TRACK AND A GREAT REMIX, August 19, 1999
By A Customer
SPECIAL CD SINGLE PT.1 IMPORT FROM ENGLAND HAS ONE OF VERSION 2.0'S GREATEST SONGS SPECIAL WHICH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. IT ALSO INCLUDES A BRAND NEW TRACK CALLED 13 X FOREVER WHICH IS ONE OF THEIR GREATEST B-SIDES, BESIDES DEADWOOD. IT ALSO HAS SPECIAL - BROTHERS IN RYTHM MIX, A GREAT REMIX OF SPECIAL. THIS IS A MUST FOR ANY GARBAGE FAN.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for the B-side, July 31, 2003
Garbage fans, "Special #2" cries out for your love! This CD single isn't as good as "Special #1", but it has its place. The B-side, "13 x Forever", has turned into one of my favorite Garbage songs - it's an infectious winner that should have been on the album. "Special" is still a great song, and one of VERSION 2.0's strongest tracks. The only weak spot here is the dull, unnecessary Brothers in Rhythm remix of "Special". Otherwise, "Special #2" is a worthy buy.

You've all heard "Special", so I won't talk about that. The second track on this disc, a b-side called "13 X Forever", is typical Garbage: driving beat, sexy... Read more
