trent gives fans the slip
timed potentially in recognition of cinco de mayo(????) NIN's new album (no, not ghosts, this is an even newer album) is downloadable from nin.com for almost absolutely free, or rather, the cost of your email. and really, if you can't trust trent reznor to not spam your mail box, who can you trust? me? that guy over there? president grover cleveland? your kindly old grandmother? hardly.
it took the email a while to actually get to my mailbox, so don't panic if you don't get the email to the link and token immediately, or even within the hour. it'll come eventually though.
unlike ghosts this album is only 45 minutes and 10 tracks long, as opposed to ghosts, which was approximately "too" and "far too many tracks" long. it's also a proper album with words and somesuch, none of this artsy only-instrumental nonsense.
no really, i liked some of ghosts, but as someone pointed out already, it works better scattered in a randomized NIN/industrial mix where a ghosts track will occasionally come up on the play and contribute some ethereal, minimalist flavor, as opposed to a solid 2 hour block of it.
listening to the new album right now, it's not bad so far. which is hardly a stunning recommendation, but hey, it's free, so if you like industrial, like or more likely used to like NIN, take a listen.
