Ugh.. I was happy to pay the five bucks for this but it ranges from moderately enjoyable to farting into a microphone.  I just personally don't get the appeal of some of that distortion (in 11 Ghost II for example).

Meh, couldn't find an isolated clip of what I wanted.

The one's I'm going to get are Doctor Who And The Pescatons and Journey to the Center of the Earth.  I love his voice.

By the way, NEVER FART IN A MICROPHONE.

Well, unless it's someone else's and you don't intend on singing through it.

Trust me on that one.

The CD release of Year Zero remixed came with a DVD full of the source tracks for the entire Year Zero album along with Garageband/other free software.  He also put up a site at http://www.ninremixes.com/ as well for the sole purpose of letting people make their own mixes and upload them.  I think he originally did it for some tracks from With Teeth as an experiment. 

Radiohead weren't even teh first to do this either: The The's Matt Johnson fell out with Universal over the way they distributed his last album, NakedSelf, and ended up making it entirely available for free download on his website, way back in 2001.

They are inviting the creation of visuals to go with the Ghosts music.

They will then hold a film festival featuring the best visuals.

It's very pop.  That's not a bad thing, though, and it's a pretty shallow first-listen response.  God bless him for getting out from under the finger of Interscope, though; this has been a fantastic year to be a NIN fan.

I love pop music, and I absolutely hate this album.

Which is weird, I've never HATED a NIN album. At worst I've been indifferent. But I really really just don't like this one.

On first listen its not blowing me away but its certainly listenable enough.

I love though how he is changing his relationship with his fans.  This is feeling more than an artist just experimenting with digital distribution, if he keeps putting out his experiments and playing arounds its becoming more a kind of musical journal.  This is all the sort of stuff he probably would have made and chucked out in the old days while developing a new album, but now he is sharing it warts and all and its quite a change for someone that is such a perfectionist as Trent is purported to be.  I'm really looking forward to how this develops, its going to be tough for him I think when he puts out his next commercial album (if he does indeed ever put out a more traditionally distributed album again) as the expectations will be so high for a commercial product given all the free stuff he is putting out.  But then there has been lots of expectations on every album since broken anyways so ...

I think this is the neatest aspect of digital media distribution.  Years ago if an artist put an album together and the record company or artist hated it, they would shelve it for years and start over rather than spin the vinyl\tape\CD and come up with artwork\packing and distribution.  Now they don't even have to make it a 100% polished product, they can just release it digitally with as much or as little artwork as they choose and it really doesn't take a major effort or support structure to do so, unlike preparing a CD for release in the box retailers.  Rob Halford did the same thing on his first solo album in 2000, releasing various demos and pre-release radio recordings of the album some 6 months in advance.  Not all of the songs changed much, but some did and it was interesting to hear how the arrangement and lyrics of a particular song would change from pre-release to final product (and how some songs just didn't make the cut despite being good songs).  As far as I am concerned, the more music an artist puts out, the more the artist and fans can relate.  I dislike waiting 3, 4, 5, even 6 years in between albums for some artists, and having a few demos or throw-away songs released "just because" is really a good way to keep in touch with the fans and even keep creativity flowing.  Gauging fan reactions to new material may even help with the final product - why put something that people think will be filler or crap on the record when whittling down song selection?

I tried to remix one of his song's using the files provided at remix.nin.com. It's a lot harder than I had expected, but also quite a fun diversion.

Trent just posted a New Year's gift - a link to 400+ GB of HD video footage of NIN live.

http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?18,378166

I won't be downloading the raw footage, but I don't expect it will be long before some good edits are made from this. A videographer friend is planning to do some stuff with it. Also, the fans at http://thisoneisonus.org/ who were working on another show are planning to do some work on it.

Sweet. There's a Blu-Ray of previous concerts worthy of purchase. Getting new concert vids for free is damn cool deal. That's too much of a download for me though. I'll wait like you.
