Two utterly random "The Slip" questions that have been on my mind:

1. Has anyone dissected whether the initial, 2-syllable utterance ("Am I..." ) on Discipline was intended or whether TR just mis-fired? I am sure all of the apologists will say, 'Of course he meant it...he's a genius, after all', but every time I hear it I get the unmistakable impression that he just missed his cue. This is not to say that it was subsequently overlooked during the mastering, because that would be plain dumb, but it doesn't strike me as something that a songwriter would deliberately put in there. Maybe it was an oops, but they kept the take going and decided to keep it when they heard it on tape? (Sorry if this is an old topic; I searched and couldn't find any previous discussion.)

2. Is anyone else as disturbed as I am that The Slip hasn't sold out? It was a limited edition of 250K individually numbered copies (collectible as hell), but here we are several months later and The Slip is collecting only dust on store shelves, often several copies per site. Yes - I know it was offered for free as a download, but has the venerable CD fallen so far that even the hardcore loyal NIN fans are unwilling to buy it? I don't do MP3's, but even if I did, I still would have bought a physical copy out of principle - and out of respect for and gratitude to my favorite band.

PLEASE DISCUSS AMONGST YOURSELVES. (I'll lurk in the background.)

Is there going to be a release of 1,000,000 as a single? and will it be an official halo. Saw it up on theninhotline but havent found anything on this forum.

2 questions. Wasn't a regular release of the album supposed to be released last August? And has there been any misprints with the numbering, like, 2 of the same numbers? (ex. 2 copies with the number 2345)<--Just chose a completely random number there.

i kinda feel like this album changed my music taste for at least 6 months , echoplex took most of my time , i just love this song n never get bored of it , an then theres lights in the sky.. that defiantly is the best song ever (thats how i feel for most of NiN quite songs) , or piano ones at least ( like gone, something i can never have, or right where it belongs)

but i still feel like not the proper advertisement is done for it , MOST of my friends didn't even know its out .


after all I LOOOVE THE SLIP IT ROOCKS
