Hope it's good. Getting it...

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

Yeah Paul, I saw your reply there and thought "Since when was Lazcorp a NINny?"

I'm still waiting on the activation e-mail and I've been a registered member for some time now

Top one, nice one, sorted!

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.

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.

TESTIFY!!!

it's here

I downloaded the FLAC version - so I can convert it to MP3 later

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

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.

How long before it becomes another "modern day classic" James

see what I did there?

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

NINny

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
