  2. Dzendvokh says Thanks for the heads up.... funny enough, I was not a fan of NIN until Ghosts... and I happily paid 5 bucks for the FLAC and beautiful PDF booklet... the way it should be, IMO.

  3. GrittyMcScruff says I'm a fan of the early work, but at this stage of the game, if these guys feel the need to continue making music, it probably should be for free. That's my positive comment of the day.

  4. Sturgell says Gritty, I agree. There earlier stuff was down right amazing. Esp at that time in music, NIN really were the cat's pajamas. These days though, one might ask how relevant they are

  5. TylerDurden says positive indeed -> Reznor rock's, didn't think NIN was gonna make it in their hiatus back in the mid 90's but Trent pulled them through -> I'm to lazy to download, can someone post it? baby's on the half tit.

  9. doubleplay says Agreements all around with most other moggers. NIN were GREAT when they first started the journey thru RockLand. Somewhere along the road, however, they lost their way. I commend their "generosity" for wanting to give this one away.... but will retain my final "The Slip" comment 'til I've hear all the songs. Carson (doubleplay)

  10. streetbudz says I wish people would stop comparing NIN to Radiohead. Radiohead basically robbed people who paid for a bad quaility version of their album (which was good). NIN is truly taking it to the next level of distribution. Trent should be getting credit not Radiohead. If anything Radiohead should be wishing they pulled a NIN.

  12. Lighter Dusk says I enjoy the music of Nine Inch Nails, so I greatly appreciate any one that's willing to get it over with and put their music out there for free. Artists must understand that the rapid rate of information exchange means that virtually everyone will get access to it sooner or later. Huzzah for Trent in getting with the program and here's hoping more artists will feel the same way in the future! -Dusk
