Ah, yes, the free NIN album. i paid for it regardless, because i am a fan of Trent Reznor and NIN, because i prefer to have physical copies of my music and artwork collection, and i am a musician myself (meaning, i wish to compensate fellow artists). So i am entirely biased in my opinion of this release and this album. How could i give an objective review?
• If you like prior albums "With Teeth" and "Year Zero", there are tracks here you will like. While those albums are rather oppositional in style, this album seems to come from a collection of songs originally meant for those other two albums. That doesn't mean that this album is not coherent or cohesive. It IS. It's just stylistically reminiscent of those other two albums.
• Related to the point above: the lyric content continues to be in the more political and self-reflecting realm, unlike the first four NIN albums which were more about personal relationships and anger/misery. The sounds are less composite and artificial than what you'd find in "Year Zero", and more like a synth rock band sound found in "With Teeth", but still not really a band sound, and still heavy with synths. If 2014's "Hesitation Marks" was a bit too light for you, this is probably more like the NIN you expect, but you should therefore already own it. [shrug]
• The packaging was nice. i bought mine direct, not through Amazon, so i don't know what YOU will receive. Mine came with art stickers. Feel free to comment on my review to tell others if those don't come with the Amazon purchase.

For the first fifteen years of NIN's inception, fans would have to wait patiently, five or six years to hear new music. It was just a fact of life that it took forever for Trent Reznor to record and release a new album...in the past few years; however, the opposite is now true.
Including Saul William's "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust!" (which Reznor helped write and produce) and "Year Zero Remixed," (both 2007) Nine Inch Nails new album "The Slip" (2008) is the sixth album Trent Reznor has released in the past three years. Sobriety and (as of last year) being free of a major label have certainly been agreeable to Mr. Reznor.
"The Slip" (Halo 27) is not what one might have expected after the grand, dysphoric "Year Zero" with its' Public Enemy beats and songs concerning what a hell the United States will look like in 15 years. "The Slip," by contrast is probably the earthiest, rawest, most spontaneous album Reznor has released. Since only a few weeks were spent writing and a few more spent recording this album, one can see why. Luckily, however, the album manages not to sound rushed or sloppy. It seems that Reznor got the ball rolling, went with it, and didn't over think anything. Guitarist Robin Finck, keyboardist Alessandro Cortini and drummer Josh Freese also made contributions to the album.
Unlike "Year Zero," no time is spent contemplating the state of the world. This probably works for the best, as two albums in a short period of time concerning how bad things could get in the U.S. might be overkill. Rather, like most NIN albums, "The Slip" is personally reflective--although at 43, Reznor's lyrics seem to be a little more refined.Read more ›
