- njiska, on 05/05/2008, -7/+1163Thank you Trent
- lineweight, on 05/05/2008, -13/+655I'm sure he just pissed Metallica off to no end.
- littlemarcho, on 05/05/2008, -8/+543Trent:
"Click HERE to get the new full-length nine inch nails record: the slip
(thank you for your continued and loyal support over the years - this one's on me)"
No, thank you, for changing the music industry! - RafiParrr, on 05/05/2008, -4/+367Am I the only one that actually wanted to pay for this? I really want this new system of distribution to succeed, and seeing an album like this trounce stuff released through the record labels...
Still, it's a great gift. A big thanks to Trent Reznor and the rest of the guys at nin.com. Keep it up! - sleepwalkers, on 05/05/2008, -5/+313Hopefully this will shut up any remaining naysayers who believe Trent's recent interest in online distribution was a publicity stunt to boost sales.
- db3786, on 05/05/2008, -1/+273we encourage you to
remix it
share it with your friends,
post it on your blog,
play it on your podcast,
give it to strangers,
etc. - Slio9, on 05/05/2008, -18/+222Trent is so ***** bored, it's insane
- chevetter85, on 05/05/2008, -2/+202The 96kHz 24bit wave is a nice touch.
- hilo4321, on 05/05/2008, -7/+186***** christ i had to bury 5 ***** stories that linked to blogs before i found this to digg
- sanitarium09, on 05/05/2008, -4/+167Awesome. Trent just kicks ass.
- unitedkronos, on 05/05/2008, -3/+149Trent, give us your PayPal email so I can send $10 to it as a gesture of gratitude.
- inactive, on 05/05/2008, -1/+144Just go to the next NIN Show... this will support 'em.
- NikZ, on 05/05/2008, -2/+141It's probably more a reflection of not having label constraints - Trent is free to release whatever, whenever and however now. This is Reznor-Unleashed. And it's a very, very good time to be a NIИ fan.
- cman12, on 05/05/2008, -0/+138The album is great. I definitely would have paid for this.
- PMartinez527, on 05/05/2008, -1/+108embedding lyrics was a nice touch.
- trunicated, on 05/05/2008, -1/+102"this one's on me"
At least give us a donate link to help cover some of the recording costs! - Ebeniz, on 05/05/2008, -2/+102I think Trent is thanking us too since he just linked to THIS post.
- njiska, on 05/05/2008, -7/+100They warned me Satan would be attractive.
Seriously though Metallica had their chance and blew it. Welcome to the new era of music. - MrSpontaneous, on 05/05/2008, -2/+89I had my wallet out and ready to abuse my credit card balance, then I see the "its on me" bit.
I think Trent was really happy with how well Ghosts did, and released this - and album he was planning on using to test the model with - free as a thank you. - DrakeRubicon, on 05/05/2008, -1/+83That's the way it should be. - Listen to it, love it, give money to the artist.
Trent does really great stuff.
Goodbye music industry, hello Artist ^^ - kookykyle, on 05/05/2008, -14/+91got my copy, cant wait to kick it on and listen to the fabulous 7 new tracks i havent heard a thousand times in the past week
- Seph7, on 05/05/2008, -0/+76Only 156 out of the 1440 of you that dugg the story are saying thank you, where are your manners :P The man just gave you a free album!
- 180andback, on 05/05/2008, -0/+76This is ***** amazing.
- Asheis, on 05/05/2008, -0/+68that they're offering it lossless is totally cool. I wish I had the energy to stay up and listen to it, but at least i'll be seeding it all night
EDIT: seeding at 150kb/sec. it's not much, but it's the least I can do! - Disorganized, on 05/05/2008, -4/+71This is one hell of a birthday present. Especially for my 26th birthday. Thanks Trent!
- shagg187, on 05/05/2008, -1/+64Once again... Holy *****! I was willing to pay for this and my credit card was ready :P
- njiska, on 05/05/2008, -9/+70And take some more of the spotlight away from Radiohead and their rather insincere in_rainbows
- inactive, on 05/05/2008, -1/+60(inserts my own paypal address here)
- inactive, on 05/05/2008, -1/+58♥♥♥♥ TRENT REZNOR ♥♥♥♥
- TheMinstrel, on 05/05/2008, -2/+59Jesus, Trent is amazing.
- dafragsta, on 05/05/2008, -11/+65***** Radiohead. No one has been more honest with the fans about the record industry and his attempts to get away from it than Trent Reznor. He bitched when Niggy Tardust didn't sell so well, but after his faith was restored by the crazy sales figures and high profit margin on Ghosts, (which has grown on me a lot) he's shown Radiohead and everyone else how to release an album on the internet and how to treat fans who do the right thing.
Put your music and a PayPal tip jar on the internet and I think people will do the right thing. I'm hoping to walk the walk in a few months as a complete and total unknown. ;) - sourc3, on 05/05/2008, -0/+52Anyone else notice that Trent is "Giving us The Slip?"
- 180andback, on 05/05/2008, -3/+54Happy birthday! 26 years on your way to Hell?
- inactive, on 05/05/2008, -16/+67Yeah, it's unfortunate they had to turn into giant vaginas. Now no one wants to listen to the ***** dance tunes they churn out anymore.
- quaunaut, on 05/05/2008, -12/+57This was completely worth staying up for.
Though it makes me wonder, was the $5 option for albums abandoned then? Both Niggy Tardust and Ghosts I-IV had that, and he had said he was disappointed in Tardust's sales. As someone who payed for both digital downloads, I hope it either hasn't been completely abandoned or that he made this choice outside of the viewpoint of low sales. - DrOct, on 05/05/2008, -0/+44Agreed. Thank God Trent is an audiophile, and gives the rest of us this option.
Now if only we could get a similar quality (DVD-A or SACD or whatever) 5.1 mix of The Fragile...
It also makes me really happy that all of the downloadable albums he's put out or helped put out have had lossless options. I hate that 99% of the music available for download, is only available in a lossy format. I'll take the longer download times and have a perfect copy to listen to on my stereo thankyouverymuch (and then make mp3's from that copy for my portable devices where space is an issue). - smithpg1002, on 05/05/2008, -0/+43I'm guessing he was holding back on a lot of material until getting out from under the contract, and we are benefitting.
- Ebeniz, on 05/05/2008, -8/+47next time link to the actual site... not your blog
- evan119, on 05/05/2008, -3/+42just finished listening to the whole album, its pretty damn good overall!
A pretty good chunk of it is instrumental, including all of tracks 1, 8, and 9.
My favorites were 1,000,000 and Letting You - theokandroid, on 05/05/2008, -2/+39I WANT to pay for this, but thanks so much Trent, you are the best.
- jackajj, on 05/05/2008, -10/+46yay for new album
- Tomgupper, on 05/05/2008, -2/+36I almost hope that a packaged version will be produced as well. NiN Always have some of the best album packages/digipacks/artwork - A treasured part of any music lover's collection.
- titorTT, on 05/05/2008, -0/+32or you can just visit http://ghosts.nin.com/main/order_options
and 'order' again the $5 Download. the money will get to his pocket. - whereiseljefe, on 05/05/2008, -7/+39Good description of their current music.
- dn11, on 05/05/2008, -0/+31nope, but I noticed that each track is different, not a bad idea. how long till we have animated pseudo music videos or other visuals embedded in our digital music? the whole concept and format of an album as we know it is rooted in the analog world
- njiska, on 05/05/2008, -0/+30There's Digg Button on NIN.com links to this Digg thread.
- MadOtaku, on 05/05/2008, -2/+32dugg for И. What character is that and how do I make it?
(edit: other than copy-paste, that is.) - therightclique, on 05/05/2008, -7/+35you consider submitting a story to digg as an honor? what the ***** is wrong with you? aren't there any people that are just people anymore?
- brstilson, on 05/05/2008, -0/+27I think you're confusing NIN with The Rolling Stones.
