I bought the new Nine Inch Nails album, and I love it. I was initially disappointed that it was completely instrumental and thus lacked Trent’s usual poetic and complex lyrics, but the sheer perfection of the album made up for it. Rather than continuing with the more pop-ish sounds from the previous two albums, this album focuses on atmospheres and soundscapes. It features lots of multi-layered sounds and widely varied musical styles, and comes off feeling very experimental and abstract.
I’d recommend it to anyone who is interested in electronic or ambient music, especially at the price point of $5. Not to mention, it was released with a Creative Commons license, so you can legally torrent the whole thing to preview it before buying.
It was released officially in three formats: 320kbps MP3, FLAC, or Apple lossless. I chose the FLAC version.
I love Trent’s new sound!!! Adn its just like him to release it to us fans like this
