===[[Wish (song)|Wish]]===
*''Wish ("No Bad Words" version)'': This a censored version of the original, distributed on a promo to radio stations.
*''Wish ("Fixed")'': Elongated to nine minutes, this remix elaborates on the drum and synthesizer loop of the original. The cymbals are run through a wah effect, making them sound as if underwater. Its structure essentially follows the original, but with production changes and lengthening of the introduction and ending.
*''Fist Fuck'': This remix mostly consists of manipulations of the drum loop, though it also loops several of the guitar parts toward the end, which ascend in tempo until crashing thunderously. It also contains samples from the musical ''Showboat'' and some psychedelic narration by Timothy Leary.
===[[Last]]===
*''Throw This Away'': This minimalist remix, on ''Fixed,'' contains elements from both "Last" and "Suck." Opening with bubbling synthesizer loops, it mostly consists of the bass riff from the middle of "Suck," which is repeated throughout the track. Layered below it are various quiet vocal samples from both songs. Eventually, the drum beat featured at the very end of the original bridge in "Suck" is looped and fades in, eventually segueing directly into the ending of Butch Vig's mix of "Last."
*''Last (Butch Vig Remix)'': This remix has never been commercially released. It was originally found in the early '90s on an FTP server as an 8-bit/22,050Hz AIFF file, which circulated as the only available copy until Reznor hosted a CD-quality MP3 of the song in his [[remix.nin.com]] profile. Musically the opposite of the original, it features totally new guitar parts and drum loops, giving the song more of a radio rock feel. Its ending was incorporated into "Throw This Away."
===[[Help Me I Am In Hell]]===
'''There are no known remixes'''
===[[Happiness In Slavery (song)|Happiness In Slavery]]===
*''Happiness In Slavery ("Fixed")'': This remix contains samples from the album version as well as from performance artist Bob Flanagan. Repetitive in nature, it contains very few lyrics, instead focusing on the percussion loops, synthesized bass, and synthesizer leads.
*''Screaming Slave'': This remix is very different from the album version and the other remix on ''Fixed'', and also incorporates samples from Flanagan. It is cut up and spliced so that it seems more like a sound collage than music.
*''Happiness In Slavery (Sherwood Slave Mix)'': This remix has only minor changes with cut up vocals on top, and can only be found on the [[Happiness in Slavery (halo)|Happiness In Slavery halo]].
*''Happiness In Slavery (PK Slavery Remix)'': This remix was initially found only on the ''Happiness In Slavery'' promo, but has recently been posted to [[remix.nin.com]] by Reznor. Short in length, it loops only few elements of the original, incorporating new synthesizer elements and film samples on top.
===[[Gave Up]]===
*''Gave Up ("Fixed"): This remix, done by [[Coil]] and Danny Hyde, appears on ''Fixed.'' Its most prominent feature may be the splicing and rearranging of vocal syllables. It is musically similar to jungle or drum 'n' bass music, focusing on layering the frantic drum loops and guitar riffs.
