This is certainly becoming popular among already famous musicians, and from reports coming in he’s already made a handy profit and some of the physical stock is already sold out. More and more already famous musicians I’m sure will be trying this route. I doubt it works quite as well for the yet-to-be famous musicians, though.

I bought the 2xCD and downloaded the 320kbps MP3s. The tracks all feel very spontaneous and jammy, less of the over-wrought sound design wanking that made Year Zero hard to take in some places, but still amazing sounds. Just the right mix, IMHO. Based on Trent's explanation of this album, these results were exactly what he aimed for: jam for 10 weeks, release everything that we record. -Matt The album is, IMHO, some of his best work ever.

I'll probably shelve out for the double album on CD in time to come. I probably wouldn't have listened to two tracks if it would have been a normal release. (I also checked out the Saul Williams album some time ago, and didn't like it, so I didn't buy it) I’m not a big NIN fan, but I must say that the free tracks really impressed me.

I'll be interested to hear if the free mp3's are the filler or the killer from the full 36 tracks. There is some great synth pron in the liner notes pdf thingy.

None of the previous albums really interested me, but NIN sure does. They've taught me one thing... buying direct is a big PITA. My download link still doesn't work, despite a "everything's back to normal" message on the front page. The blog comments tell me i'm not anywhere near alone with website problems. Communication is a vital part of customer service. Even a simple "we're aware of the problem, and trying to get it resolved." goes a long way. I'm sure i'll enjoy someday when i can listen to it...whenever that is.
