Ghosts.
Wednesday, April 9, 2008
I just got the new NIN release, entitled Ghosts I-IV. I would like to point out three important facts before encouraging you to check it out.
1) Ghosts I-IV is NIN's first entirely instrumental project. It is 36 tracks of perfectly-crafted Reznor-esque "music".
2) Ghosts I-IV is not an industrial rock album. If you're familiar with other NIN work, this is more like the intros and outros and transitions you find between the tracks on a typical NIN record. Only more badass and definitely more strange.
3) Ghosts I-IV is NIN's first release post-Interscope split. They have gone the way of Radiohead and released it independently, and in part free. So even if you don't want to shell out a couple of bucks, you can get the first nine tracks for nothing or the full 36 in digital form for $5.
Okay, that said, this is cool stuff. It's the kind of stuff you have to be in the mood for (kinda like She Wants Revenge, but that's another story for another time), but when you're in the mood, nothing else will fill the need.
Go. Get it free or cheap. What have you got to lose?
Currently in Memphis, Tennessee
Currently listening to NIN - Ghosts I-IV, natch.
