Nine Inch Nails, New album, free for all Options

[Badman]

I just gained a little respect for Nine Inch Nails today. Apparently they REALLY dislike record labels and actively tell their listeners to steal their music rather than help the record company make money by paying for an overpriced album.

Anyhoots, the news, they have released an album that you can download online for free to show that they really mean it. It has 36 tracks with different art for every song and they let you download it in Flac, Mp3, whatever pleases you. This is really liberal for modern music and I think it shows that they aren't about the money like other bands, they just want to create art.

Here is the Wiki on it if you want more info:

Here is where you can download it if you don't use torrents:

I am going to get the first couple of songs and give them a listen. If I like it, I will pay for the better deal. Too bad live doesn't have the kind of Fan base to do something like this.

EDIT: I loved what I heard and bought the $5 flac version of Ghost I-IV. The quality is amazing.

I am a HUGE fan of NIN and Trent. There is no comparison between what NIN offers its fans and what FOL does. And, yes. I am a member of SOY/FOL and The Spiral. Trent is and will always follow his own lead, not marketing or record labels. Just one of the many many reasons I love and admire his work.
