Further commenting "the results are an intriguingly cerebral hodgepodge..." with the largest selling point being the bonus DVD-ROM disc. [ [http://www.thestar.com/article/277972/ TheStar.com | Music | A cerebral hodgepodge ] ] The Denver Post mused that "perhaps it's the best remix outing of Reznor's career."
