Please: “As a thank you to our fans for your continued support,” says Nine Inch Nails brain Trent Reznor on the website whose full album The Slip is available for free download. In addition, he placed the album under Creative Commons and in this way he, as the sole holder of the right, urges everyone to freely copy and remix it. After the dark industrial pop of Year Zero (2007) and the impressive
… ambient album Ghosts I-IV (2008), the overactive Reznor seemed to find it time for a lot of noise again. Industrial punk rock dominates The Slip, which is spit dry and directly from the speakers. As if he wants to encourage everyone with remix aspirations to add some effects (no matter how unnecessary). But there is no question of a snack or a cheap gift. The Slip brings back the old fire with which Nine Inch Nails once entered the music world. Thank you gentlemen. (MR)more
