'Until It Sleeps' is one of the best songs from the 'Load' album, but this disc is pretty pointless. The main track itself is good, and justifies being released as a single and the 'Kill/Ride Medley' is a nice enough treat for fans.

But the 'Herman Melville Mix'... why does this even exist? What made Metallica decide that this would be something they'd include on a single? I don't mind dance remixes of rock songs, but this is something else! A generic techno track with repeated snippets of James Hetfield circa '95 saying "tear me open" and "until it sleeps"... horrifying!!!

If you're an absolute collector of all things 'Tallica, then I suppose you'll want this in your collection regardless (and you are indeed a hardcore fan if you're willing to go this far). Otherwise avoid this like the plague, and just buy the 'Load' album and save yourself the misery.
