There's a new NIN song for free download: http://discipline.nin.com

The comment in the MP3 says "Go to www.nin.com May 5"
New album?

Nice spot. I've only listened twice, but I like the track. The guy's becoming very prolific all of a sudden.

On Monday, he posted a message on nin.com saying "2 weeks". The last time he did that, it was 2 weeks before the Ghosts I-IV release.

I'd say Discipline is the first single off a new album, out May 5th!

EDIT: Although the artwork for Discipline suggests it'll be a 5-track EP: http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/3366/73015206ri5.png

Really enjoying the new stuff. Great to see a flurry of activity from NIN. This track is great, really looking forward to whatever hits www.nin.com on the 5th of May and they so better come back here on the next tour

Great track, Reznor's being very generous and a total workhorse lately!

Let's hope for an Irish date on this tour he talks of, he promised last time!

nyarlothothep · 23-04-2008 8:57pm

very catchy

Shryke · 23-04-2008 9:13pm

A step up. Fingers crossed for a new album/EP.

Mushy · 24-04-2008 11:24am

Really liking this track! Be a great opener for a gig alright.

As for May 5th, can see it being a new EP/album alright, but wold love some European tour dates!

Creature · 24-04-2008 12:11pm

I like it. I'd be very surprised to see a new album so soon after Ghosts I-IV though.

Irish Halo · 24-04-2008 7:53pm

Downloaded.

Sweet.

Only just got Ghosts in the post from the previous release from NIN.com

God no. (IMO).

Moojuice · 27-04-2008 5:46pm

Its an ok album, some great Remixes on it, the best being Modwheelmoods mix of The Great Destroyer. But its not as good as Year Zero itself.

Another new NIN track: "Echoplex".

This one was released on Facebook: http://www.ilike.com/artist/Nine+Inch+Nails (link to free MP3 there)

Surely a new album / EP on Monday!

dimerocks · 04-05-2008 12:19pm

I cant wait for tomorrow. Echoplex is quite cool.

stakey · 05-05-2008 11:16am

totally free new album! \o/

Available to download from www.nin.com (and great speeds too!)

nyarlothothep · 05-05-2008 11:45am

new album? After a double album and an album last year??? The guys a machine

radiospan · 05-05-2008 12:19pm

Fantastic stuff! Completely free.

They've really sorted out their servers compared with the Ghosts release too, no download problems here, very good speeds too.

Creature · 05-05-2008 12:44pm

Wow I'm delighted! It's refreshing to have someone like Reznor who seems to truely value his fans. Though I'd gladly pay for the new album if it was released normally.

dimerocks · 05-05-2008 1:42pm

Its great, I'll definitely buy the physical version when it turns up too. The artwork is very cool.

Fad · 05-05-2008 1:59pm

i quite like it, not as much as Ghosts though, dont like ''1000000' at all.

i feel Trent is really going about things the right way now, hope he keeps this up

(i got my cd of ghosts last week too!)

projectmayhem · 05-05-2008 2:01pm

has trent discovered a new way to make money? giving the music away free must mean he's touring to make some cashola, surely?

i know a physical release is due but surely that'll only cover a small portion of costs because of the amount of people who wont buy it due to the free release.

either way, great tracks here. definitely not a cheap, hammy album that feels like it was meant to be free.

Well with Ghosts he made $750,000 from the ultra-deluxe editions alone (although it's hard to tell how much of that was pure profit).

I'd say he made a fair whack from Ghosts, either way.

The business model here is harder to see, but maybe that's looking at it in too cynical a fashion - maybe it is just a gift to thank his fans (of course the happier he keeps them the more loyal they will be, which is good for him either way).

I'd imagine he'll do a lot of touring in the coming years as this is a huge money spinner for most well-established acts... even if he never released an album again he'd still have a fan base willing to pay top dollar to see him live (and to see the show he puts on).

What I'm curious about is how this fits into the whole Year Zero thing - it's definitely connected but I'm wondering if it's part 2 (which would be odd as there was no ARG campaign before hand like part 1), is this a bridge between Pt. 1 and 2 or is this actually the start of the ARG campaign for part 2? Someone found a site (lightsinthesky.com) that seems to be iffy - could be part of the fun!

edit: by the way, The Slip is pretty damn good - some cracking tracks on it and it's an amazing thing to see it given away for free.
