'The Slip' is the latest release by Nine Inch Nails coming off the heels of their previous album 'Ghosts I-IV' which was a large collection of instrumentals, some good, some bad and others indifferent. This is the first single from 'The Slip'. The song is very rough sounding, distorted and even a jumbled mess at times. I like the main riff but I'm not so sure about the song as a whole.

Quite frankly I'm not so sure about the entire album I'm sad to say though I have only heard bits and pieces of it here and there. Most NIN albums need to be heard as a whole from start to finish like the epic 'The Fragile' to be fully appreciated. You never know, 'The Slip' may grow on me over time. I didn't like 'The Fragile' all that much at first with the exception of a few songs but it became one of my all-time favorites.
I haven't checked it out yet for bandwidth reasons but apparently the entire album is available for free here. What more can you expect for a cost of nothing I suppose?

These two are my favorites so far.

The one song that I can say just plain sucks is Letting you. I won't even post the link for that one. WAY too much distortion. It reminds me of the band 'Atari Teenage Riot' (below) which I also could never get in to.

All in All, once I get this one I'll have to listen to it several times and let it fully sink in before I hand in my final verdict.
