Customer Rating: - NIN power is back
Well after the daydreaming record Ghosts I-IV, NIN gave us again the power we are used to hear of them, the difference, now Trent is doing it in independent way, with any record label involved, but wait, the quality of music remains incredible, the art is amazing, in this limited edition pack you can find a CD and DVD with the rehearsals with the new members of NIN, and really worth the price, so if you dont have it go and get one, there are only 250,000 copies, just 10 songs, but every second of every song is an amazing experience, so thank trent for giving this album for free, but the art of the record make me bought the physical one, awesome.

Customer Rating: - wow what happened
i don't know whats happened to nin as of late but the music (and i use that very lightly) they have been putting out has been garbage.maybe i got to used to the good stuff like head like a hole. this "music" doesn't fill me with any emotion or feeling at all.it makes me sleepy as a matter of fact. spend your money on something a little more worthwhile.you'll see reviews about how this is so good because he's not restricted by the recording company...bull it seems as he needs someone to tell him when he sucks instead of just putting anything out there...the title the slip really fits on the other hand as this "music" has slipped right down the toilet

Customer Rating: - Probably Reznor's weakest album to date
The price of admission for a Nine Inch Nails album has hit all ends of the spectrum. From high prices for The Fragile and Still to a fascinating marketing campaign for Year Zero, to a choose your own price and format trick following in Radiohead's footsteps (which Reznor subsequently trash talked), and now to the ultimate price, free.

Yes, that's right, you no longer have to pay anything for a Nine Inch Nails album, but unfortunately, you probably wouldn't have paid that much for it anyway. The sad truth is that The Slip sounds like a rehashed With Teeth, except worse in almost every respect. In fact, I'm sure we could line up tracks from either album back to back and anyone who had not heard either album before could not distinguish any stylistic differences. The music features pounding drums like With Teeth, tired riffs with the same tonal leaps and dull modulations, and lyrics that once again work against Trent Reznor's for the most part excellent vocal talent.

Almost every song is disposable. The album starts out like it might actually be doing something worthwhile. A first impression might sense that Reznor has decided to keep each track moving at a fast pace, improving upon the With Teeth style flaw that was many slow, boring passages. However, both 1,000,000 and Letting You are fairly forgettable. Even the single, Discipline, has nothing new to offer. But nothing much anyone can say will ease the blow of the downright embarassing Echoplex.

The album is not without it's successes. The victories come in through the hushed soundscapes of 999,999, Corona Radiata, and Lights In The Sky, which says something about Reznor's knack for his recently taken up ambient style. But until Ghosts V-VIII, we have The Slip to listen to, and the ambient tracks will not save it.

Anyone except a Nine Inch Nails fan would want to skip this album, even at the free price. And fans will be disappointed too. The style that With Teeth established was never that great to begin with, but The Slip makes With Teeth look like The Downward Spiral. The fact of the matter is that Trent Reznor will never make any albums as good as Pretty Hate Machine, The Downward Spiral, or The Fragile ever again, and it is time to stop believing that he can.

Customer Rating: - Excellent!
I should start off by saying I've never been the biggest NIN fan. I've heard a decent amount of their music, and I've always liked them but they just never stuck with me. With Teeth seemed a bit like the sellout point to me, and I didn't pay attention to them for awhile. When I heard The Slip was free on their site, I eagerly downloaded it, and I've gotta say it's absolutely AMAZING! With the exception of Corona Radiata (which I'm sure will grow on me soon), there is not a dull moment with The Slip, and I plan to order Ghosts I-IV ASAFP.

Update: I forgot how depressing NIN is. Listening to it makes me feel like bashing my skull in, but it's such amazing music that I CAN'T TURN IT OFF! Also, With Teeth doesn't seem as bad now.
