nin rerelease of downward spiral - any good?

So, how's the rerelase of the album? Does the 5.1 make a difference? Is it worth buying all over again? How much is it, by the way?

i got mine from Sin <3
its still in 5.1 though
short answer, yes, long answer hell yes
Ive only seen it at bestbuy and they wanted 25 or 30 for it but amazon has it for 19.99 .
If you buy it, id get the one with B sides instead of the 3 video deluxe version
I will probably end up still buying it anyway even though i have it.

Are you saying you have a burned copy, skinnymofo? If you do, then you are not hearing it in the true 5.1 surround it was encoded in. There is still no method of copying SACD's.

To answer the original question, I think the re-release is great. I only have the SACD version right now, but I plan to get the DVD-Audio version when money permits. I cannot comment on what difference the 5.1 makes, as I have only listened to it in stereo. What I can tell you (as with any high resolution audio) one needs to have a system of a certain caliber to be able to hear any difference at all. I haven't had much intimate time with it (sold speakers, new ones coming in Feb.) but I picked up some subtle textures in songs such as Mr Self Destruct and Closer that I had never heard before. This is an album that seriously makes me want to do a multichannel setup sooner than I had planned just to see what Trent has up his sleeve on the multichannel track. I was surprised to see the 2nd disc (the B sides) was an SACD as well. There are rough cuts of Closer and Ruiner that are really cool. All in all, this album is DEFINITELY worth buying.

Well, in my opinion, the very fact that it is The Downward Spiral that we are talking about makes it a must buy. Since I already have the album, though, I wonder if the 5.1 and a few "new" songs justifies a purchase of an album I already own, especially since money is tight. Who am I kidding? I'll probably get it.

Nope. SACD's are still uncopyable at this point. I don't forsee them being so in the near future.

I almost considered buying it for the b-sides until I realized that I already had every single one of them since I have all of the Halo releases thusfar. I even bought Closure and now I'm mad that they're re-releasing it on DVD.
