"First of all, I'm a huge KoRn fan so this is probably a little biased. Track 1, A.D.I.D.A.S. (Radio Mix): Not worth listening to, since if your buying this CD, you should already have Life Is Peachy and there's no point to listening to a song with that's been edited(no offense, but they don't really do that great of a job here). Track 2, Good God (Dub Pistols Mix): Good song, although the opening high-pitched squeal gets a little annoying but dies out after 30 seconds or so. Track 3, Got The Life (Josh Abraham Remix): Great song, nice bass added to this mix, love the stereo panning on this track. Requires a loud system because this song just screams "Let's annoy the neighbors." Track 4, Twist/Chi (Live): Same as the mix on Family Values '99. Not bad, but you should already have the other CD if you're getting this one.Track 5, Jingle Balls: Unbelievable. KoRn should do a Christmas album, 'cuz this song rocks. Nothing quite beats Jon Davis singing Christmas Carols.All in all, a must have CD for the KoRn fan. For the price, there's no point in not getting it if you like the band."

"Whether or not you need Korn's "All Mixed Up" release really depends on how much you follow the band. If you collect their imports and various other releases, and plan to continue, you will most likely scoop up all the material on here elsewhere. However, if you are a Korn fan on a budget, and aren't interested in tracking down all of their minor releases, "All Mixed Up" is a worthwhile purchase. Originally released as a bonus disc for Korn's 1999 album "Issues" is Australia, "All Mixed Up" is a four song collection consisting of three remixes, one live performance and one unreleased studio track. The radio remix of "A.D.I.D.A.S." starts it off. We've all heard this version, it's the same as in the music video (and if you actually have a station that plays it, you heard it on the radio). It's a pretty useless addition. The Dub Pistols remix of "Good God" is definitely not up to par. There are probably more remixes for "Good God" than any other Korn song, and most of them are better than this. The Josh Abraham remix of "Got The Life," however, is probably the best I've heard of the song and is pretty hard to find (appearing only on the out of print "Falling Away From Me (2)" import single). The live performance of "Twist/Chi" is taken from the "Family Values '98" CD and chances are you already own that disc, but it is still a great performance. Finally, the last song, "Jingle Balls," Korn's second Christmas song, actually sounds nothing like Korn. Very interesting to hear, and it is probably worth buying this EP alone for. So there you have it. As I stated before, this release isn't really neccessary for completists, as you can find all this stuff anywhere else, but if you don't plan on scouting out all things Korn, this is a good, wallet-friendly place to stop."

"1-A.D.I.D.A.S (Radio Edit) - To put this track on the album was pretty pointless when the song itself contains profanity...When the word F*** is used repeatedly in the track & edited out and replaced with a gargle it makes the song less appealing...2-Good God (Dub Pistols Remix) - Although more than 3/4 of the song is different riffs and musical sounds this remix is still exhilerating as the original Good God track with more differnciating instruments to make it interesting.3-Got The Life (Josh Abraham Remix) - Best track on the 5 song album...Got the Life remix combines more eerie sounds and a nice lyrics change up that makes it just as brilliant as the original track off Follow The Leader.4-Twist/Chi Live - Great track... Jonathan Davis's vocals sound just as powerful and bare semblance to the original songs with a more meaningful display.5-Jingle Balls - A very heavy track with distorted guitar playing and distorted vocals...Sounds just like the song Jingle Bells but with their own creative lyrics added in a portion of the song...***All together worth buying but leaves room for improvement and more songs and better remixes could have been added or replaced.^_^Nothing beats Jonathan Davis singing Christmas carols=D"
