NIN - The Slip
Check it out. You can download the new Nine Inch Nails album for FREE. And unlike the last free NIN album we told you about, this one actually has vocals.
It’s amazing how fast Trent is kicking out albums. Making brilliant noise seems pretty easy for him at this point.

NIN - Ghosts I-IV = $$$ + :-) for Trent Reznor
We told you about the new NIN album that Trent Reznor self-released about 2 weeks ago. Well it looks like Trent’s experiment worked. He made $1,619,420 the first week (and none of that goes to a record company).
The album, released on March 2nd in a multitude of different formats at nin.com, “immediately sold out” of its run of 2,500 “Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition” versions (complete with vinyl, deluxe packaging and a Reznor autograph), with a $300 price tag.
In all, 781,917 transactions were made for the album, with people either downloading a quarter of the album for free, downloading the entire album for $5, purchasing a physical copy for $10 or getting the non-ultra-deluxe limited edition version for $75.
Unlike Radiohead, who have still not released the total numbers and dollar figures from their In Rainbows experiment, Reznor likely revealed his first-week stats as a way to show fellow artists in the same weight class how successful they can be without the help of a major label. We’re sure Reznor and Thom Yorke will have a nice laugh about all this if they do in fact headline Lollapalooza. Ghosts I-IV is still available for download on NIN’s site, with double-CD sets due in stores on April 8th.
