Nine Inch Nails - The Slip [Vinyl]

The Slip (also known as Halo 27) is the eighth major studio release by Industrial Rock act Nine Inch Nails. The album was produced by Trent Reznor alongside Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder. The album features vocals and traditional song structures, unlike its 2008 counterpart Ghosts I-IV. Much like Ghosts I-IV, the album was released under a Creative Commons license, allowing fans to remix and reuse all or part of the album non-commercially. A tour for the album, entitled "Lights in the Sky 2008", begins in late July and will take place over most of North and South America. Album Description

Excellente Work Mr. Reznor!

Excellent Work!

This is a very mature work from Trent Reznor getting back to his essential power looking back to the pretty hate machine but now with the progress of technology its better and more sophisticated you can tell, that Mr. Reznor hasn't lost his touch and the way of making new music that will influence another bands and will sound so good live, I can tell by my self that this album sounds great live and I truly recommend it at all.

Thank you Mr. Reznor and NINE INCH NAILS!

It comes with a DVD

I must not have noticed but this CD also includes a DVD with six music videos. I wasn't blown away by this CD like many other reviewers were. Trent is trying new things but I can't seem to get into this one. If you're a NIN fan, then buy this but don't expect anything close to Closer or Slipping Away. November 3, 2008

The Slip

Don't buy this from hmv.com, I pre-ordered it two months before release and received an email 4 months later saying that they didn't have it. I then went to amazon and I got it quickly to my door! November 3, 2008

Could have been perfect...

...but sadly the album contains "only" 7 so called "real" songs. The first track, intro, "999,999" is really nothing special when you compare it to "Pinion" from Broken EP. "Corona Radiata" is just dull and seems like somewhat leftover from Ghosts I-IV, so does the third instrumental track "The Four Of Us Are Dying".
The best tracks from the Slip are in my opinion definetly "1,000,000", "Discipline" and "Demon Seed".
The reheasal DVD is superb, although a little bit too short. The songs from this album sound much better in live and show that band has so much energy and hatred left after all these years, even though shows are nowadays pretty lame compared to "Self Destruct Tour" and the live performance at Woodstock '94.
Still, really good album and definetly worth buying and not just for HC NIN-fans. But the stickers are SOOO vain and ugly. Argh! October 22, 2008

marginal at best

Following revolutionary works like ghosts and year zero, the slip brings nothing new to the table. For a band known to reinvent itself on every album, this one feels like a rehash. If you have every halo, of course you'll buy it. Otherwise, download for free and see how much you actually listen to it. October 21, 2008
