NIN has gone and done it again. They are giving away their music before its released on hard copy in hopes that it will generate a "buzz". Trent Reznor has taken the digital revolution and created a very unique relationship with his fans. Releasing albums for free, allowing users to submit remixed tracks of NIN tunes, providing fans artwork, and giving users a choice in what format they want thier music in continues to resonate with this fan and I could not be happier.
You can get The Slip right here: http://theslip.nin.com/
They even allow you to download WAV files which is higher quality than CDs.
Despite my post about liking to buy CDs, I really do like it that artists are officially releasing their albums online before they come out in stores.
ReplyDeleteI like some of the songs on this album. It kind of drags toward the end, though.
