"In what was no doubt conceived by some marketing whiz somewhere, one single was split across three discs, each with three tracks. Each starts with the title track,then adds two more. And grand total, exactly two tracks were not previously released.
This is the second part, containing the radio edit for "We're In This Together"-- in many ways, superior to the album release simply because the song is a bit overlong. On the other hand, these aren't really the edits I would have made, but I digress. This is supported by two remixes of "The Day the World Went Away"-- the quiet version (previously available on "The Day the World Went Away" single), which is just superb-- the chant is moved to the beginning, and then the piece plays with sparser and more clever arrangement and good choice of instrumentation-- this one is vastly superior to the album cut. The second remix is the Porter Ricks mix and is a dub mix-- essentially repeated bass and drum figure that have little to do with the song with the chorus occasionally heard below it. Its kind of a weird mix, although I found I liked it.
Is this really worth it? Maybe, the remixes are both pretty strong, but this single tends to be expensive. Probably for completionists only."
The $ spent is worth 10 miles high

"We're In This Together and The New Flesh are great, but I can't stop listening to 10 Miles High. It is the hardest NIN song i've ever heard. It starts off all creepy, then it gets all hard as he screams I'm gonna get so high. Definantly worth buying."
Thats part 1... this is for part 2

"Part 2: Were in this together, 10 miles high, New Flesh We're in this togethe rwas only meant to be heard in the original. It blows the radio edit away totally. It has the neat beginning and pretty ending that is ruthlessly cut out of the radio edit. 10 miles high is fun, although tedious at the beginning, and the new flesh is pretty abstract. I like it though!"
The Best Part of the 3 part single

"Although We're In This Together is a good song, I bought this single strickly for the b-sides. 10 Miles High is a REALLY good song. It's sort of eeire and creepy. The New Flesh is very weird, i guess thats what makes it cool. Thats it, but its worth the money."
The quietness is worth it....in a way

"This is the WITT single which contains the Quiet version of The Day the World Went Away and the Porter Ricks mix, as well as a radio edit version of We're In This Together.
The radio edit is good, though it's just not as good as the original. I don't mind this, but it just doesn't have that feel that it was intended to have.
The quiet version of TDTWWA is excellent...but doesn't really fit on this single, nor does the somewhat dull Porter Rick's mix. Don't get me wrong, the quiet version is EXCELLENT, but it's already on halo 13, so get that instead.
Not bad, not great, just an ok single. Parts 1 and 3 of halo 15 are much better."
