Post NIN Releases "The Slip" as Free Download
NIN releases new, free record today for download:

http://www.NIN.com

Trent Reznor to Fans: "Thank you for your continued and loyal support over the years. This one's on me."

As of 12:01 a.m. PST May 5, Nine Inch Nails' brand new full length album The Slip is available as free download at NIN.com.

Unlike NIN's recently released Ghosts I-IV, there are NO paid options available for The Slip, nor are there any retail partners. At present, The Slip is available exclusively as a free download at NIN.com. A physical configuration on CD and vinyl is in the works for a July release.

Cool, I thought it was just me.

Is it one day only? or just limited to a couple/few?

Just downloaded it...

Pretty good. The songs feel more like demos then completed tracks. Still good stuff!

Times like this I wish i enjoyed NIN.

These guys are so good to their fans. The fact that Trent has released several of the original Pro Tools (as well as Garageband) files for remixing/editing/etc. is awesome.

nice! cant wait to hear it!

im a HUGE NIN fan, and i hafto say ghosts was my least favorite release up to date. i can barely see how its justified as an NIN album withouht his vocals. it was more...quake. it wasnt bad, just my least favorite, and id never reccomend it to anyone asking about NIN.

back to this release... i heard discipline on the radio yesterday and thought it sucked. maybe i need another listen, hopefully its some good stuff tho.

Thanks for the heads-up liquid. Got the Apple Lossless version and thoroughly enjoyed listening to it yesterday. Although I was never a true fan I've always respected Trent and saw a great live show by the band once. Good moody album, great sounds.

Best song off the album is "Echoplex" IMO.

This was a good one, definitly see why he gave it away for free as it was more demo-ish, I'd feel kinda bumed if I spent money on this one. It was good, almost reminded me of ghost but with vocals and a single or two thrown in for good measure. I liked it. But then I like most of his stuff.

Track's 4, 5, & 10 are really really good. 9 is a good instrumental one.

Still have this in constant rotation, and I think I like it better than With Teeth & Year Zero. It just keeps growing on me.
