Nine Inch Nails has released a new album. Quietly and without any fuss, and their website was promptly mobbed and battered into oblivion. I can't even get on it at all now. 30-some songs, and the first nine are available on The Pirate Bay as an official torrent. It's pretty good, I guess. I like about half of the songs. I'll shell out the five bucks tonight and get all of the them, five bucks for thirty songs? That's like robbing the man. Really high quality MP3's too, no low bitrate crap here.

Oh, almost forgot. It's all instrumental. Sam is going to be pissed.

they're coping what radiohead did. i doubt it will be nearly as successful as they were, in fact i think the album will bomb.

I wouldn't call it copying. Radiohead will (hopefully) have started a revolution in the music industry. It's great that other groups are jumping on the bandwagon.

And Radiohead is 10x > NiN so you're right, it probably won't do as well.

i just think its too soon for another band to try it.

and i dont think everyone will want to offer any price you pick because record companies, artists will lose more than they make.

Trent Reznor FTW

NIN For Liff

Radiohead can keep quiet in their ambient soft-rock wannabe corner and suck their thumbs thusly.

By the by, the album rucking focks.

nin is okay, but radiohead is a style all its own. they do rock, experimental, guitars, pianos, electronic, acoustic, strong vocals, soft vocals, etc. they dabble a bit of everything thats good in rock; i think.

All of which applies to NIN, save for the application of the above in a "style all its own" given that all of the above styles, individually or in any given combonation there of, have been employed by other musical collaborators.

If NIN had a style all its own I'd call it; NIN style.

If Radiohead had a stye all its own...

Comparing NIN to Radiohead is, at best, difficult.

i agree. except...

nin often lets me down with bullshit attempts at being 'heavy metal' and reznor growling and trying to whisper-sing. sometimes they are great, but i like almost every song radiohead has produced with the exception of maybe three or four, whereas there are only three or four nin songs i actually would listen to on a regular basis.

Not quite copying. NiN has been giving songs away for free for quite some time now. Trent also helped in releasing the album Niggy Tardust for free (w/ pay download option) about a month before In Rainbows came out.

It's all been coming to a head for quite some time, but I believe Reznor has been a firm proponent of changing his distribution method far before Radiohead was saying anything.

yes well radiohead was the most successful yes?

my point was they did it best and made a brilliant marketing campaign. i just don't think it will work as good a second time around.
