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.

Nuts or not...he produces the music he wants on his terms and keeps his fans and the rising costs of music. I DLed The Slip but have not had the chance to give a good listen to without disruption but what i have heard so far is great.

The benefits of being a NIN fan are amazing......access the music in which Trent enoucrages fans creativity in remixing what he has created, FREE new music, access to pre sale tix that are often hard to come by.

I :heart: NIN!
