- TwitchingMuffin, on 06/26/2008, -9/+143Awesome. I love how NIN is using all freeware--YouTube, Flickr, Google Earth, iLike, Facebook, MySpace, iCal, Google Calender--to expand their site and get closer to the fans. It's all so awesome. Pioneering.
- ThinkIcouldburn, on 06/26/2008, -12/+144This is amazing.
- Namesbond, on 06/26/2008, -22/+146and they make incredible music
- Zetal, on 06/26/2008, -5/+82Awesome idea using google earth for this.
- sukeyscorer, on 06/26/2008, -5/+75thats so cool! impressive that The Slip got 1.4 million downloads. nice one TR.
- pahool, on 06/26/2008, -5/+58***** METALLICA!
- MattFromSeattle, on 06/26/2008, -2/+45I wish more artists/labels would embrace technology the way Trent has. This is probably one of the best examples of an artist taking the initiative and making technology work for them.
- n01special, on 06/26/2008, -29/+65Dear Trent,
Why do you get all the love in the world?
(Literally)
Sincerely yours,
n01special - sgtawol, on 06/26/2008, -1/+37Really neat stuff.
For those of you pissing and moaning about NiN and the music they play, think about it as a concept and stop being a simple-minded troll. You'll be praising TR in 10 years when this is the normal way to distribute music for bands that aren't property of the top 40 sell out pieces of trash and their record labels. - boozedrinker, on 06/26/2008, -4/+40A true artist and innovator...Trent, please don't stop.
- neolyn, on 06/26/2008, -1/+36Yes - "they". Trent doesn't produce or write all of this stuff on his own. Check the liner notes for writing/production credit.
- neolyn, on 06/26/2008, -5/+38It's nice that Trent and his cohorts are intelligent enough put together data and present it to their fans in such a way. I don't think a lot of other acts could have pulled this off. Very nice.
- RockOfVictory, on 06/26/2008, -1/+27This'll be handy for them to plan their next world tour.
- booyahbitch, on 06/26/2008, -1/+23I think perhaps the reason that NIN is doing so well is that they are actually using their brains. Not to mention they are asking us to do the same. Being engaged (for real, not like politicians do) by someone who is asking you to buy their wares is the best way to make people understand where you are coming from. I agree with joseke7 - Rez for Prez!!!!!
- supersickie, on 06/26/2008, -1/+211.4 million through the website; I'd say that there's at least another 500,000 that have been downloaded via torrent.
- Orion682, on 06/26/2008, -7/+27"P.S. - If you are one of the people from Fiji who got the record, can we crash on your couch?"
I LOLLED - leftfield, on 06/26/2008, -2/+20You have the RIAA logo as one of your images, you troll for free or do they pay you?
- Jexie, on 06/26/2008, -0/+16He's not, Raul is.
- someoneAnyone, on 06/26/2008, -1/+17Great information to plan a tour around... maybe we'll see NIN in North Carolina sometime soon?
- revmhatt, on 06/26/2008, -1/+17Because this a news website that focuses on the latest in technological trends and developments. Do you think everything has to be life changing to make it to the front page?
- mywhitenoise, on 06/26/2008, -2/+16Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Alan Moulder, Charlie Closure, among other producers. It's never just Trent.
On top of that he usually has a drummer come in and help out, as well as Alessandro and Robin Fink on The Slip. - mk3k, on 06/26/2008, -1/+14You haven't listened to the album have you?
It's actually a good album, I go out of my way to find the tracks in my playlist. - Derferman, on 06/26/2008, -1/+12Correct, but iCal uses .ics files, which is a standard file format that many other applications use.
- anillop, on 06/26/2008, -2/+12It is because they are actually trying something different and innovative in terms of distribution and technology. They are embracing new ways rather than clinging to the old ways of the RIAA and recording companies.
- jaydoj, on 06/26/2008, -1/+11clever, very very clever.
- RacerX2727, on 06/26/2008, -0/+10Try Perfect Drug or March of the Pigs. Good luck.
- leftfield, on 06/26/2008, -2/+12lol, I figured you'd try to edit your profile so I went ahead and got a screenshot for posterity.

...except in this case. Thanks again, Trent! - cdbeshore, on 06/26/2008, -2/+11by the title, i thought it meant that had another new album called "Numbers" that you could only download through google earth. Not THAT would be cool.
- sm4k, on 06/26/2008, -1/+9Yes, it is. Trent Reznor is the only member of Nine Inch nails, the live band is just that, a group of guys Trent has formed to play the songs live. Everything you hear on a CD is him, and I'm certain all of this marketing is being driven primarily by him. He's the face, mind, and heart behind all of this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_inch_nails#Touri ... - Jhiaxuz, on 06/26/2008, -1/+9Because they didn't charge those 1.4 million fans a cent for their album.
- mattluiz, on 08/28/2009, -0/+8At least they're using it for good things.
- 8bitflu, on 06/26/2008, -0/+8Please do not imitate intellectual property of the Aperture Enrichment Center.
- Kidtuf, on 06/26/2008, -0/+8I hate you.
- leftfield, on 06/26/2008, -2/+9k, well looks like you are about trolled out... go find more stuff for your "night of OGC" and leave the frontpage to the algorithm.
- BabyWookie, on 06/26/2008, -0/+7LOL. This sounds funny, coming from a Fred Durst wanna-be (his profile pic).
- Phearce, on 06/26/2008, -1/+8Because it's an example of an artist successfully using novel marketing strategies.
- psylemon, on 06/26/2008, -0/+7NIN is pop?
- catch-22, on 06/26/2008, -1/+8Most notably, Atticus Ross. He's the unsung hero of the new NIN sound. He's been working closely with Trent on every album since With Teeth.
- keyforce, on 06/26/2008, -0/+7Your reading comprehension needs work. These are album figures, not an album.
- raada, on 06/26/2008, -1/+7I love NIN... It is the only group (and Radiohead) who has figured out that it is a new world out there. Smart!
I did not listen to them until they released their CD for free. - DiggyWiggy, on 06/26/2008, -0/+6Dugg down for never visiting NC but still writing a hefty explanation involving it...
- artfiend77, on 06/26/2008, -1/+7Jesus, SRSco is quite pathetic! You can't even get trolling right you 'tard.
- funkeymikey, on 06/26/2008, -0/+6Dugg for the fact that you dugg someone down for not visiting North Carolina.
- artfiend77, on 06/26/2008, -1/+7Then don't let the door hit you in the vagina on your way out to Reddit, *****.
- dblespresso, on 06/26/2008, -1/+6Interesting places (not much of a surprise)
- North Korea - 0
- Iran has a handful
Islands of NIN
-Singapore
-Dubai
-Bangalore,Mumbai,Chennai, India
South Africa vs Sub-Saharan Africa - myhandleondigg, on 06/26/2008, -2/+7most creative thing this band has done is that "still" disc with the pianos and acoustic instruments and analog synths.
- inactive, on 06/26/2008, -0/+5and their little monkey too (lars)
- arj03, on 06/26/2008, -5/+10I wonder why it took so long for recording artists to realize that this is a much better way than the old. True NIN got known using the true old and tried system, but still, they are really flourishing in this new way of marketing themselves.
