NIN Gives Back To Fans, Oh And Trent Reznor Still Sexiest Man In Rock

Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails founder and mastermind, has taken his new found label-free life one step further and is giving away his new album, The Slip, for free. Take that Radiohead! Skip the step of guilt-free giving what you *think* the album’s worth, and just give the whole thing away for free.

NIN’s has a rabid fan base and most would gladly pay for the album, but Trent, being the gadfly in the music industry wanted to give back to his fans and what a tremendous goodwill gesture. Click here to download The Slip. Also, for those fans who want something they can touch, Reznor says there will be “physical products” in the July.

No word yet on whether Trent will be allowing me to give him a free back rub. Just kidding, well, not really, but yeah.

  1. Thanks for the tip. I know nothing of NIN, but now I have the chance to learn.

  2. They are really great industrial outfit who also have a fair amount of ambient music in their repertoire.

    I have been a fan since ‘89 when Pretty Hate Machine came out. I also wrote Trent’s entry for The Encyclopedia of Record Producers book.

    Give ‘em a shot, they’re really great.

  3. Also Trent and another musician may have knocked on Scientology in this video called “Flyentology”

    There are a few…erm.. familiar images in that video which apply to Scientology

    Take a peak and see what you can see.

  4. I’ve never been a NIN fan, but this is a great idea and one that more musicians and bands should adopt. Kudos to him for doing it. :)

  6. Downloaded the wave file last night, all 1.4 gigs of it. Listened to two tracks before heading for the office, sounds kick ass so far. Nice present Trent….
