another free NIN album - the slip

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I'm no fan of NiN, but I do like the way he's experimenting with these new freeconomic business models.

Well, I'm not.. I've not been overly impressed so far, but I figure maybe I should listen to some more stuff.
Oh, but obviously I dance to Closer when it's played. :lol:

No, certainly not me. I get my fix of teenage angst and faux rebellion against Mummy & Daddy by listening to the kids at the bus stop every day - I don't need Mr Reznor whining on my stereo as well.

i'm with laz on this one.

i downloaded the free bits of 'ghosts' and then set him $10 for a cd version for the hell of it. whilst i'm not really a fan of his music (anymore - the first 2 or 3 albums were pretty good) i admire what he's trying to do for/to the music industry.

that said, part of me wishes he'd exercise a bit more quality control, and stop releasing material which IMHO sounds like partially complete demos...

quality rather than quantity.

i'd rather he combine some of the ideas that are currently spread across 3 or 4 'albums' into a set of dozen killer tunes. i'd probably be willing to pay for that.

still, the boy is trying, so fair play to him 8)

I was a major NINny from Broken to the DVD ... and all that could have been. I found them very difficult and quite challenging at times but after seeing them on the Downward Spiral gig in 1994 at the Barras, I knew where they were coming from. The endless remix albums started to bore me then they became NINlite with Teeth. All that angsty angst has been done to death Trout, give it a break please. This new album is more of the angsty angst with two (stand out) non shoutey tracks. I d/l Ghost months ago and only unZipped it today after the Boss mentioned it. From what I've heard so far, this is more my kind of NIN.
Good luck to old Trout Razor and all who sail in NIN, he certainly looks after his fans.
:D :notworthy:

Many thanks Quiff!
Some of the tunes are quite okay, but there's a lot of underwhelming stuff in there as well. But I never was a fan of theirs. I

I quite like the direction that Trent has gone with the Ghost stuff, but I think Jesu does it much better, but IMO Trent is still a very talented and thoughtful man :notworthy:
