Review

Following Radiohead’s lead (i.e. the “In Rainbows” album release), Nine Inch Nails has done something similar where you can download for free or purchase multiple formats of the album:

(click to view)

Initially, I downloaded the first 9 tracks for free. I liked what I heard and then decided to buy the CD. The best part is that while the CD is not out until April, you can download the entire album (as part of your CD purchase) in the following formats until the CD is available:

Included in the download is all the album art along with wallpaper and web art. Lets hope that more artists start to pick up on this in the future. Actually, I’d prefer to download the lossless version of the music all the time. I don’t need a physical disk anymore.

As for the album, I am enjoying it a lot and is in my “developer” playlist along with Amon Tobin: Out From Out Where.

Description

Nine Inch Nails’ latest album, Year Zero, does not disappoint. It is much more raw than their last couple of albums and a welcome change in my opinion. It is also a politically charged album with a bunch of references to our current president and the war in Iraq. I particularly love the beginning of the album with the energetic “HYPERPOWER!” and “The Beginning of the End”. The rest of the album is just as good as the start with a few misses here and there. “Capital G” and “God Given” are great songs to check out. Finally, the ending of the album is perfect with the much slower “In This Twilight” and “Zero-Sum” songs.

“Survivalism” Music Video

Well, it is more audio than it is video but it’ll give you a taste.

“In This Twilight” Music Video

This song is one of my personal favorites. The music video is not an official Nine Inch Nails music video but the images (some taken from War of the Worlds) is quite powerful and rather fitting for this song:
