well, its finally out, and its fucking amazing. easily the long-awaited equal of The Downward Spiral. its just that good.
but the real fans of nin will know that its not just an album, its a concept album. but its not just a concept album, its a whole Alternate Reality Game (ARG)! this means that theres a whole alternate universe / storyline set in the futuristic dystopic universe described in the album (that weird hand thing you see on the album cover isnt some random picture, theres actually a backstory to it). many websites set in this universe have been discovered, but theres still others waiting to be found. check out ninwiki.com for more info.
for those of you that have heard it, any thoughts/comments? fave tracks?
at first, mine was My Violent Heart, but now so many of the other tracks are growing on me, its becoming harder and harder to settle on any particular one track as favorite.

For that lack of better words, this album is fucking awesome! When I first put this CD in my stereo in my truck, when i heard the fucking beat to "the beginning of the end" I 'bout orgasmed! lol.

I have so many favorites but my most favorite is God Given. I love it's groove and sarcasm. also "the Great Destroyer" and "zero-sum" are also awesome.

NIN is my new all-time favorite band.

i m really disappointed with it to be honest. :(
the story thing is a nice idea..but i dont know... not my thing. but then again NIN never was one of my fav bands really

i agree with it being the long awaited sequal to t.d.s. the heat sensitive disc is pretty damn cool as well. i love evey song on the cd, but my 3 most favorite are The Great Destroyer, God Given, and Vessel.

Go for it! Check this out! All new Nine Inch Nails full-length album titled "Ghosts" was released today without any previous hints about it being released!

This reminds a lot like when Radiohead released "In Rainbows" with their "pick your price" deal. I am downloading now! headbanger

Not a big NIN fan but good for Trent basically releasing this album telling his label and mainly all labels to fuck off. This is how things need to be done, no labels involved just artitsts releasing the music they want to put out.

Yeah definitely. I mean two artists have already started this independent release thing and more and more artists will jump on the band wagon sooner or later.

I am really impressed with the instrumentals. I am gonna buy the two disc digipak set when it comes out in April for sure.

finallly pure instrumental stuff. love it. very nice to work to.

i would prefer stuff with lyrics but nevertheless this still should be quite good. thanks for the heads up.

NIN is the most important band for me and means a lot to me. They haven't done yet any bad album, but this new album is my least favorite. I'm missing vocals but Trent's instrumentals sound awesome too. I can't wait to get the cd. Then I can listen to it by heaphones before/while sleeping. :)

Yeah man I can't wait till it comes out on Tuesday. I am gonna pick it up after school then listen to it in my cans. Since Trent didn't care if you bought or stole the album, I downloaded the free Ghost with the PDF booklet and listened to it at least 10 times. It's really good. Even though I was tempted to download the other tree Ghosts, I just wanted to wait the physical release came out to hear it.

this band fuckin rules
i've got (nearly) all their albums, bar with teeth
and i've not got y34rz3r0r3m1x3d or ghosts yet
but i used to be so into NIN
things have changed so quick

Trent Reznor recently released this out as a free download for the public. Since no label would even consider releasing such graphic content to the public, Trent uploaded it for all the fans to download. So technically we are downloading copyrighted material. It is in amazing quality so any NIN fans on this board should d/l this sucker fast.

Here is the "unofficial" DVD artwork.

Go to NIN.com May 5.

man i have so much respect for NIN now...released that ghosts album for free and all this other shit. its awesome. one fuckin amazin band.

Yeah man for sure. Trent has really been on a roll as of lately. Ghosts was really good though. Glad that I bought it. :)

The new single is up! You can download it from nin.com. That was pretty fast. GN'R worked for their album 14 years and Trent recorded his new album in a month or something...

NIN posted a new song called Echoplex a few days back. Its alright. Reminds of Fragile era. Remember to check NIN.com tomorrow!

and BAM!!!!! yet a another FULL LENGTH CD by NINE INCH fuckin NAILS!

I stayed up till 12:00 yesterday (technically today) just to get this. ;) This is an awesome album! I encourage everyone to get it.

fucking. amazing.

headbanger

BUY IT MOFOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok that is all...

I like the new album. It may not be a new masterpiece, but it's a great add to Nine Inch Nails' discography. 3 last tracks are amazing! I have bought all NIN studio albums to date so I believe i'm getting this one soon as it comes.

You have all 26 Halo's? Damn All that I own is Year Zero, Downward Spiral and Ghosts I-IV. I want to collect 'em all.

I want my collection to look like this.

i've got (almost) all the albums
my list:
pretty hate machine
broken
fixed
the downward spiral (deluxe edition)
further down the spiral
the fragile
things falling apart
and all that could have been. live.
everyday is exactly the same (yes i know it's a single)
year zero




and that's it lol headbanger

Nice, nice. I am gonna start a Halo collection soon then.

No no, I have only the STUDIO albums and some other stuff. I don't even have the half of the halos and i'm not actually interested of collecting. I currently have only these NIN -albums:

Pretty Hate Machine
Broken
The Downward Spiral
The Perfect Drug Versions
The Fragile
And All That Could Have Been - Live
With Teeth
Year Zero
Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D
Ghosts I-IV

Nice collection. How's the live DVD? Have you seen it?

You're talking about And All That Could Have Been (the DVD) or Beside You in Time? I've seen some clips only from youtube. But I had the songs from Beside You in Time ripped into mp3's. Sounds amazing stuff.

what?
you haven't got byit yet?
thats fucking great!!! headbanger
you must get immediately haha

am i the only one who didnt like the slip? :blink:

i m not saying its their best work ever...its ok. i prefer the older stuff obv. and ghosts was actually better imo...

Yeah man thats the one. Beside You in Time. I heard they released it in blu-ray so I might buy it.

No I am sure there are others. I thought Ghosts was better like WTD said, but it was free. At first I thought it was really awesome but some tracks got old fast like Echplex and Corona Radiata. Still a good album though. I would give a 4/5.

the 3 instrumental tracks seem pointless and are basically filler imo
but the rest of the album i love lol
its great album tbh
just a shame that 3 tracks are seemingly filler material

i agree that it was "ok." but with nin, ive come to expect more from them. if its not GOOD and merely OKAY then i get disappointed with it. in my opinion this was their weakest album to date, even though it was ok. and yes, the instrumentals were boring and crap. one instrumental track after the other? i found that a very weird track ordering choice, it added to my dislike.

I think With Teeth is crap. This is a lot better than Witha_Teetha.

with teeth was the album that Trent needed to do at the time, heck, after alienating a heel of a lot of fans with "things falling apart" (yes i know it's a remix album but it's not his best one now, is it? well according to most it isn't, personally, i love it but i don't quite think it's what the fans wanted...)
and the fragile isn't that good either, especially after tds but i'd say that my least favourite is phm, i understand that it was the debut album and it was pretty early in his career but it wasn't as good as anything else that he did later and i do think they are decent at the most, for a debut album it is decent, and i guess thats where you need to start but it's got the odd poor song (thats what i get, ringfinger, maybe, i want to)
and i think that with teeth is good imo, better than the slip and i thnk he needed only 1 instrumental in the slip (the four of us are dead)
and it surely needed to have 2 more songs that are similar to 1 million as i think that's a tune
i think the intro, 999, 999 (or whatever its called again), could've been improved slightly as it was pretty dull
anyway, rant over

not that its my opinion or anything but i read a review in rocksound and they said that after the terrible album "ghosts" quote: "boring, repetetive and pretentious" NIN now hav a good album out again.

i dont get people sometimes... ghosts was brilliant...ah well... never trust dem fucken zines neway.

everones entitled to their own opinion

nah nah sure! but it just felt to me like the zine didnt like the self released stuff just for that reason (probably sayin that because labels dont make money of it) ... thats just what i think, cud be behind it.

i have always like nin fav cd is pretty hate machine the best b4 they sold out
