4.0 out of 5 stars Good dance track with an asian flavor, September 24, 2004

By	m.a.r.i.l.y.n (East Coast, USA) - See all my reviews

Solidly sung dance song featuring asian influenced synths, the track comes in 8 flavors on this CD maxi single:
1. Album Version
2. RJD2 Remix
3. Richard Vission Radio Edit
4. The Scum Frog Radio Edit
5. Richard Vission Experience
6. Richard Vission Duberience
7. The Scum Frog Vocal Mix
8. The Scum Frog Dub

The RJD2 Remix is the most interesting, eschewing the driving beat of the album version for a more relaxed tempo and funky piano chords.

Richard Vission's mixes, while not bad, are a tad lacking in originality. The beat he uses bears a hell of a resemblance to Donna Summer's 70's classic, "I Feel Love," and beyond that, it doesn't really do much with the song the way the RJD2 mix did.

The Scum Frog mixes aren't very ground breaking either, but they tend to have more fun with the vocals, and add some very appealing trance elements.

Overall, a solid buy for the money, and a solid entry for Utada (or the artist formerly known as Hikaru =) ) into the US music scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utada - The Devil Inside, October 16, 2004

By	derekc88 - See all my reviews

Devil Inside is a really good song, but those remixes are even better! The Richard Vission remix is totally cool - no wonder it's doing so well on Billboard Dance!

3.0 out of 5 stars Scum Frog Mixes are amazing, July 29, 2008

By	Kurt Brown (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Devil Inside (MP3 Download)

Agree with the other posters that the original album mix was pretty bad. The Vission mixes are worth checking out, but also agree with other posters that they are derivative and not all that moving.

The Scum Frog mixes, however, are spectacular. This is the kind of stuff that makes it impossible not to move. I heard this at the gym today, and everyone seemed to be cooking to it.

So 3 stars for the album, but if it was just the Scum Frog stuff, I would give it 6 stars. I recommend getting the Scum Frog Vocal Mix (track 7) as a first step, rather than the complete album.
