Nine Inch Nails, The Slip

As valuable as a work of art like Cleveland-based Nine Inch Nail's seventh full length album is, industrial rock mastermind Trent Reznor announced that the album was up for free download at the Nine Inch Nail's official website.

Trent Reznor was finally free to explore boundaries he was never able to break after no longer being signed to Interscope Records. Now that he's a free man, he released an album of blistering bipolarity. The album starts off with the instrumental kicker "999,999", then moves on to the no-compromise smasher "1,000,000". As the album continues, it somehow progresses and becomes softer, from the radio-friendly single "Discipline" to the soft emotionally disturbing "Lights in the Sky". And to end the album, "Demon Seed", a five-minute track that lurks back to the good old days when watered-down pop wasn't oriented with any of the music. The Day the World Went away was the day With Teeth was released. The day it was back was May 5, 2008.

Check it out though. You have nothing to lose.
