- johnmcd, on 05/05/2008, -5/+29Wasn't this on digg front page a couple days ago?
Oh well, It's still pretty sweet!!! - MavRevMatt, on 05/05/2008, -3/+21We already knew about May 5th. Most people are expecting an EP release with this new single and Discipline or something. Great to know that his plan for releases seems to be working. It's a big "***** you" to the record labels. Reznor's getting more buzz then they can without actually doing much of anything, and he's still making money while giving the fans what they want. ***** awesome.

On Sale: TBA - Phasmorphage, on 05/05/2008, -0/+8I love NIN
Can't wait for them to come around here on tour :D - cnot3, on 05/05/2008, -2/+10Yeah, it was on the front page a few days ago... but Trent Reznor and NIИ kick ass, dugg.
- BradGroux, on 05/05/2008, -0/+8The emails from theslip.nin.com are going through, they are just taking 5-10 minutes... I've had both one go through to gmail and one through to hotmail, patience, I imagine they are getting hammered. Here are links to the torrents for the lossless audio formats.
FLAC (259mb): http://dl.nin.com/data/dl/Nine_Inch_Nails_-_The_Sl ...
MP4 Lossless (263mb): http://dl.nin.com/data/dl/Nine_Inch_Nails_-_The_Sl ...
WAVE (1.2gb): http://dl.nin.com/data/dl/Nine_Inch_Nails_-_The_Sl ... - Kronos6948, on 05/05/2008, -0/+7It's not real effective for up and coming bands. You need to have a large fanbase for this to actually work.
- Phasmorphage, on 05/05/2008, -0/+6You know Trent had the idea first right...?
Also, does it matter who started it first? It's a win-win for everyone regardless - CoyotesFan84, on 05/05/2008, -1/+7If you take a look at the NIN website, they're offering their ENTIRE NEW CD available for free. I wish I could donate. I've been following NIN since they came out pretty much. I love that they are giving back to the fans that have supported them throughout the years.
- nienhulm, on 05/05/2008, -1/+7Yeah, I thought I saw it a couple days ago too. But I agree, anything with Trent Reznor is worth mentioning again.
- getbusyliving, on 05/05/2008, -0/+6He just gave the new album away entirely free.
- StolenLamp, on 05/05/2008, -1/+6Haha, props on the backwards N.
- IceCreamMatt, on 05/05/2008, -0/+5Woohoo Free Album!!!
- FullMetalNIN, on 05/05/2008, -0/+5Still, Trent must be working his ass off to be releasing this stuff so fast. Albeit, the new model is definitely speeding up the process, creating this much material in such a short amount of time is unprecedented. Especially for Nine Inch Nails, who have a habit of taking a 5 year absence before releasing new stuff. Totally amazing!
- Gatesophile, on 05/05/2008, -0/+5Not as pathetic as you wasting your time on something you apparently don't like by posting a bunch of comments.
- Gatesophile, on 05/05/2008, -1/+5Trent Reznor, I'll have your children.
- DustinHill, on 05/05/2008, -0/+4I'm glad you pointed that out. This story was obsolete by the time it hit the front page. Trent just moves too fast for Digg to keep up. :)
- Loonacy, on 05/05/2008, -0/+4Why not just download it from nin.com?
- VinnieDaMac, on 05/05/2008, -1/+4To be honest, it doesn't even have to be free. I'd be willing to pay $5 for an album or $.50 per song. $15 - $20 for an album or $1 - $2 per song is too expensive. To pay only $.50, would save you the trouble of looking for the album on torrent sites, downloading the full album for the one of two songs you actually want, would be legal, and would give money to musicians. Assuming these are high quality 256kb .mp3 files with no digital restrictions.
- kurupttek, on 05/05/2008, -0/+3http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4173117/Nine_Inch_Nail ...
- Loonacy, on 05/05/2008, -0/+3What exactly do you think the market is made up of? It's all about individuals deciding how much they want to pay.
- Asheis, on 05/05/2008, -0/+3This is an entirely different monster! Ghosts was just an instrumental thing, this, on the other hand, is a full on NIN album. With all the works!
- Gatesophile, on 05/05/2008, -0/+3it actually just takes a while, but I just got mine.
- Gatesophile, on 05/05/2008, -0/+3I would never trust the recording industry to tell me what's good.
- melodrameric, on 05/05/2008, -1/+4Actually Trent is supposed to update nin.com with all the news any minute now...
- djcreamy, on 05/05/2008, -1/+4Musicians make money through performances. The internet is taking us back to the 50s, gotta love it.
- VinnieDaMac, on 05/05/2008, -1/+3Everyone has their own taste in music. If you don't like their music, I respect that. Personally, I like both of these songs they released and I probably would have never heard them otherwise.
- Gatesophile, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2I'm seeing them at Lollapalooza. Along with Radiohead. Should be fun.
- motbob, on 05/05/2008, -4/+6The emails aren't getting to me; is anyone else having his problem?
- DanMiller, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2Just got my link
- Gatesophile, on 05/05/2008, -1/+3I actually think it's pretty good.
- Asheis, on 05/05/2008, -2/+4http://digg.com/music/The_New_NIN_album_absolutely ... , for those interested
- SHv2, on 05/05/2008, -2/+4Actually Radiohead went about it the wrong way at first. By letting people pick their price they made the simple mistake that PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO PAY FOR IT. NIN on the other hand gave you a portion of the album for free and then said give us $5 and you get the rest. That is the way to do it. Go NIN, rock on.
- illbient, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2The Slip has 10 tracks
- haiduz, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2I just got this in an email. I decided to post it since im sure many other fans could find this info useful and I am not aware of the performance page that the presale is avaliable on. I suppose I could have looked for one, but then again that would be me doing research before making a comment online and that type of thing is unheard of:)
- SHv2, on 05/05/2008, -1/+3an app in facebook, facebook nonetheless... http://apps.facebook.com/ilike/artist/Nine+Inch+Na ...
- Surferess, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2First they released the song Discipline for free, that was on the front page of Digg. Then a couple of days ago the single Echoplex and now this is the whole album, called The Slip, for free, I believe.
Do a digg search on nin to see them all. - Culyt, on 05/05/2008, -1/+3No Radio Head's release was a marketing stunt, the files where of low quality and under a copyright, they then sold the album with the high quality and missing tracks with a normal record label.
But it was done before, by NIИ with Ghosts, despite only having 1/4 of there tunes downloadable free on their site, they actually released the entire album under a Creative Commons license, basically saying you can file share it if you want to, or use it on youtube videos. Since their not going to go around suing individual people, why not just let people.
In fact it has been done before, by thousands of people, just not much in the way of famous names. There are 60,000+ songs on Jamendo and 70,000+ on Megatune.
This is under a Creative Commons license so you can legally redistribute it, use it in free videos. Free and Freedom are different things.
☢ - DustinHill, on 05/05/2008, -1/+3There's no need to be mean about this. It's all personal preference, and as long as it's not hurting someone else it's alright with me.
- motbob, on 05/05/2008, -5/+6scratch that, bury me
- H2Glitch2007, on 05/05/2008, -0/+1Trent's going to need more servers...
- trestevenson, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1I'm not even their biggest fan, but I gotta admit that I like the way they do business. It's simply genius!
- HiT0, on 05/05/2008, -0/+1To each his own I guess.. But a turd for free, is still a turd.
- DustinHill, on 05/05/2008, -0/+1Where is the link to the study that has shown this?
Also, I tried to teach my mother how to use uTorrent along with how to effectively search mininova and the pirate bay, but she got a bit confused by it all. But when I showed her iTunes she had very few problems. I hate iTunes, but watching her struggle to use torrents made me realize why it's so popular.
Again, I'd love to see a link to that study. -
