  • Dorepoll, on 03/03/2008, -4/+305Holy ***** *****. Trent Reznor has an amazing mindset.
  • halofourteen, on 03/03/2008, -2/+273I did NOT expect new music. I also was so excited that I downloaded the $5 one immediately without seeing that the physical pre-order came with a download! Oh well, its surely worth it!

    Trent Reznor: you are changing the music world.
  • LoudLoudNoise, on 03/03/2008, -9/+252I just..I...oh my god.
  • PhoenixAgent, on 03/03/2008, -4/+202Now if only I could actually download it...
  • Phasmorphage, on 03/03/2008, -7/+192NIN > everyone
  • danandre, on 03/03/2008, -2/+162I'm going to buy this album for 5$ eventhough I don't listen to NIN.
    Alot of props to this guy for venturing into the business model of tomorrow.

    Special props for FLAC and 320kbit encoding.
  • AndrewDB, on 03/03/2008, -3/+143You know, I originally said Trent Reznor for President, but, I think we should start small.

    Trent Reznor for RIAA president.

    Reznor is the ***** man.

  • incendiarylvr, on 03/03/2008, -3/+123I wonder how many NIN fans just pissed their pants.

  • fletcherrr, on 03/03/2008, -6/+125I guess I'll go ahead with the obligatory....

    ***** THE RIAA!!!
  • wphj, on 03/03/2008, -7/+120I'd like to see how many people who write things like "***** THE RIAA" actually buy this and support a new kind of business model. How many do you think will still just pirate it?
    I'm not anti-pirating, I do it myself, I just don't like it when people pretend they're doing something honorable. It's not stealing, but it's not really moral either.
  • AutomaticTLC, on 03/03/2008, -8/+117My ears bled just reading MCR and Fallout Boy being associated with Non-*****.
  • shagg187, on 03/03/2008, -13/+117***** this! I'm getting the $300 pack! Trent can have my entire bank account if he feels like it!
  • niskel, on 03/03/2008, -2/+103I just dropped $369.99 on this...

    ***** THE RIAA
  • phuchead, on 03/03/2008, -6/+107only volume 1 is for free but it is only 5 bucks for two hours of audio goodness. i Cannot decide if i am going to get the limited edition of just the deluxe.... i am waiting on the wife... i already have a guitar that he broke on stage from the night after our wedding.. and this would be another jewel for my nine inch nails collection.

  • Enaku, on 03/03/2008, -5/+89This is ***** awesome. Pity its release is going to break the entire Internet, though.
  • magixx2, on 03/03/2008, -5/+88I wish I had 300$. :(

  • DesuKN, on 03/03/2008, -3/+70I just came.

    Then I bought the deluxe edition.



    Trent you magnificent bastard
  • matthewrex, on 03/03/2008, -4/+70***** YES.
  • idiggeverything, on 03/03/2008, -1/+64He only has $300 anyway.
  • Bricks, on 03/03/2008, -1/+64Already spent all your money on regular beans?
  • MadCactus, on 03/03/2008, -6/+67Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
  • volacide, on 03/03/2008, -4/+62Wow, I'm actually totally going to be picking up the 75 dollar package. That art/photo book looks sick.
  • eugenie, on 03/03/2008, -6/+63any mention of mcr and fallout boy invalidates your credibility in one fell swoop. tampon?
  • inactive, on 03/03/2008, -3/+59What about someone whose name sounds like 'Trent'?
  • peregrine, on 03/03/2008, -1/+55Quickly someone give NIN a extra server for the love of god.
  • TheGreatBelow, on 03/03/2008, -11/+65Trent FTW!
  • Roger, on 03/03/2008, -3/+57Already spent all your money on magic beans?
  • melonade, on 03/03/2008, -3/+56For one, Fallout Boy and MCR are definitely *****.

    For two, they will never do this. They are way too mainstream and liked by way too many 14 year old girls.
  • TheMime, on 03/03/2008, -12/+63I hope I wasn't the only one who just came.
  • xXShadowstormXx, on 03/03/2008, -1/+51Which would be ***** awesome.
  • MinaSulo, on 03/03/2008, -4/+53I downloaded it, and I am going to uhh... play it on my NINtendo? ***** I fail.
  • shahruz84, on 12/17/2008, -3/+52i can see what you unsuccessfully tried to do there.
  • MinaSulo, on 03/03/2008, -3/+50I got it. I wish I had another $300 :(
  • Verdanic, on 03/03/2008, -1/+48Okay, seriously, this one's worth the $5. This is every format you could possibly want. Pay it for this one even if you want only MP3's.
    ***** brilliant.
  • FoxOrian, on 03/03/2008, -1/+46"And it's available for download.... starting TODAY."
