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 like it when Trent sticks a finger to the face of these greedy record companies.

Anyway, there are a ton of other NiN stuff to download here... in case you still don't know.

Once again, Trent is nuts... He just released another full album and he doesn't even give the option to pay now!! It is called The Slip. I have given it a listen through and while I personally HATE Trent's voice some of the songs have grown on me. The last half of the album in particular is amazing. And YES there are vocals in this album, it is just like any other music album in that sense. I suggest going to Nine Inch Nails and giving it a listen though! Even if you don't like it, you should still support this form of musical expression b/c I feel it is the future.

A fair article to read if you are interested. I LOVE Lights in the Sky.
