This album is free. Which is awesome. But it sounds free too. The lyrics to discipline" are very fitting for trents life, which I can relate to as well, but most of the album sounds just waaay too comercialized and overdone. He uses simple lyrics and its just not that impressive. The four of us are dying impressed me a bit. But i would NOT buy this album. If you must, download it for free

I've been a NIN fan for years, but am continually disappointed when each new album (post-spiral) is released. There are always a few too many mediocre songs, cliche lyrics and formulaic song structures which get in the way of an otherwise brilliant album.

Of course I'm incredibly pleased to have just downloaded the new 'slip' album (not so new anymore though) and ill be playing it for the next week or so. But it always annoys me when Trent doesn't reach his potential. The main flaws of this album are also characteristic of 'With Teeth' and 'Year Zero' - too many cliche lyrics which Trent has been using for over a decade, and heavy songs which all sound identical (or else lack the artistry and experimental edge of Spiral and Broken). He also needs to put more effort into the drum beats in his songs (they tend to sound way too standardised), which is a surprise considering he's been influenced by guys like aphex twin.

I still hope NiN will one day create an album which does justice to Trent's skills. but even if they dont, they remain a long-lived band with an awesome assortment of great songs (alongside the crappy ones).

Not the best NIN, but far better than the most recent noise they have released. At least this cd has some actual songs with lyrics! I'm all for different directions and such, but when it's just a bunch of "instrumentals" dub it some other name than NIN. I grew up listening to Pretty Hate Machine and Broken, that's NIN. So with that said, this is their best cd in a long time. Still not great like the previously mentioned titles, but listenalbe.

Being a NIN fan, this was an obvious buy. Also the fact that I like to kick back and listen to my vinyl's. Awesome stuff.

Trent Reznor released this ablum for free online... yet I purchased the limited numbered copy to help support his forward thinking music model. The album also included a great bonus video DVD along with some other goodies that just made me love my purchase all the more. My favorite tracks off the album are 1,000,000, EchoPlex, Demon Seed... ahh hell, I love the whole ablum!

Tired of being screwed by the record labels? The help support acts like Nine Inch Nails that put music out the right way.
