Nine Inch Nails - The Slip

So this just took me by complete surprise. Trent Reznor has gone and released a new full-length Nine Inch Nails album entitled The Slip on the official NIN website. And it's completely free.

The album is available in a wide variety of high quality files, including FLAC and Apple Lossless for all you audiophiles out there. The download also includes track specific artwork and a PDF file with liner notes and high resolution artwork. A physical version of the album will be released on CD and Vinyl sometime in July.

Given that Reznor has already stated that he's working on a follow-up to last year's Year Zero, you can't help but assume that this is nothing more than a collection of B-side tracks that he had lying around in the studio. This fear is eradicated once you give it the initial listen. I'm actually enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. Kudos Trent, and thanks.

If you like NIN you might be interested in the album I just finished last month. It is also available free, donations are accepted. We are also doing a name your own price CD (starting at cost price). Politics Apocalypse is political and subversive post-industrial rock with an interesting mix of classical instruments, guitars, electronic beats, and a small dash of aussie hip-hop. You can download the whole 11 track album at no cost at our website.
