METAL

Trent Reznor has always been an innovator and after several years of dispute with his record label he’s finally free to operate by his own rules. With his first taste of freedom he released a 36 track instrumental album, Ghosts I-IV, now Reznor’s trumped Radiohead by giving away Nine Inch Nail’s new album, The Slip, for free. As he explains on his website ‘thank you for your continued and loyal support over the years – this one’s on me’. The Slip ranks up there with NIN’s most accessible work and is packed with crunchy industrial metal with an electro sheen. And hell, it’s totally gratis.
