Trent Reznor Must Poop Albums In His Sleep

Posted by pixie | Filed under Uncategorized

Seriously, I have never seen anyone bang music out like this….

Trent has made yet another new Nine Inch Nails album available for free download on his Web site. This time around, it’s called The Slip. I haven’t listened to it yet, but I have to say I’m impressed with the man’s hustle and effort on this whole free music thing.

I kind of wish more bands were saying, “hey, look, this is done… here you go!”  Sort of like the next story down, about The Cure’s album.  It’s clearly done, but we get a single a month until September, rather than just getting the album now.  It’s better than what most bands do [hints, tracklists, album covers, vague leaks, etc.] but I’m impatient, as are most people, and we want it now.

I give Trent Reznor a lot of credit for knowing people are pretty big on the whole “instant gratification” thing, and of course, for trying new things in the realm of artist-controlled releases via the Internet.

So what do you guys think of the newest offering?

Ok, Trent Reznor is officially the coolest guy ever invented. I just so admire the way he handles the music industry on his own terms…

i haven’t listened to the album yet, but i love how he specifies that all files are DRM free. it’s like his own personal fuck you to the RIAA.

i wish there were a way to pay for this album, i would do it in a heartbeat. i want to support every effort made to self produce and self release. fuck the riaa. fuck the recording industry.

What I’ve heard so far is pretty good. Only listened to the first half, but it’s better than Ghosts
