Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Having recently and radically reinvented themselves--and their business model--with recent album Ghosts I - IV, Trent Reznor and team are back with another 45 minutes of brand new music. The Slip, released free as a download and licensed again under the Creative Commons license, follows up musically and conceptually on themes already explored on Ghosts I - IV as well as on older projects like Year Zero, With Teeth and The Fragile. Ambient electronic loops mingle with dark lyrics and searing rock riffs to create a progressive and at times prophetic tapestry, which begins with the ambient "999,999", morphs into the scintillating rock of "1,000,000", and the post-disco of "Discipline" and ends with seven-minute meditations like "Corona Radiate". Along the way are some classic NIN moments. "Head Down" harks back to a more traditional sound, while "The Lights in the Sky" won’t surprise anyone that knows Reznor’s fondness for blending pretty piano melodies with morbid lyricism. There are indulgences here--not least the eleven-minute "The Four of Us Are Dying"--but many will consider it a small price to pay for such beautiful sonic bravery. --Paul Sullivan

- No one likes to pay to hear somone jam
In a discussion recently I remarked to a friend how Nine Inch Nails are the only band who [in my opinion] have never made a bad album. However, I now take my comment back. While the production of the album is first rate, the songs fall far from the industrial noise come conceptual evolutions that have propelled Trent Reznor through the last decades. The opening track (999,999) gives intriguing promise, only to give way to the disappointing melodic electronica that doesn't subside. There is one diamond ... Read More

hey i felt that the first 1/3 of the album was a bit weak personaly but the second half is right up there with the rest. i can't help but feel like this release is just a colection of year zero B-sides though. still worth a looking inbut if your new to the bend start else where.

- NIN come up with the goods once again - great album!
Barcode: 0766929934627

I've seen a fair few reviews across the media referring to The Slip as 'Nine Inch Nail's most accesible album', and i a way i can see what they're getting at. The way the album was made available as a free download (a good way for new fans to try out some of the band's material), a catchy lead single in the form of Discipline and at only 10 tracks long, the final product comes across as a slick, modern and concise demonstation of Trent Reznor's intent.

Crucially ... Read More

I just wanted to point out that what Mr Reed said in a previous review:

'"Discipline" features a vocal mistakenly introduced (and hastily silenced) a bar too early due to a rushed mix'

is clearly incorrect! Do you really think trent would have allowed a mistake to remain on a song?? (let alone the lead single!)It is clearly an intentional stutter meant to add more realism to the mood of the song. Just thought i'd clear that up.

(it's a great album by the way)

Is the hand on Mr.Reznor's shoulder, on the front cover artwork of my
individually numbered CD/DVD set (and how lucky am I feeling about that?),
keeping him in the same place or preventing him from moving forward ?

The dilemma of continuity versus development stands at the still beating
heart of Nine Inch Nails' most recent offering 'The Slip'.

I have long been an admirer of Mr Reznor and his vision.
I emphasise admirer rather than devotee, many of whom would appear ... Read More
