Is there an overall theme to the slip? is it in anyway connected to Year Zero or is the Art is Resistance are just growing bigger the that album now?

What is happening with the crazy use of limiters and compression on this album? Are the producers using physical limiters or digital? i must know

if you pull the booklet out too fast which will crease first, the booklet or the cover?
why dont you answer the questions?

lol...I agree- what exactly is the point of this thread? (HA! I just asked another question that probably won't get answered.)

Hi,

I've got a quick and important question:

I am thinking of using some of the multitrack sound pieces as sound effects, and The Slip + Ghosts I-IV as background music in a podcast and a short movie I'm working on.

Would this be legal to publish on a website since it's under creative commons?
(I won't be selling it.)

Any clarification would be great!

How many copies of the CD have been sold so far?

Most likely somewhere under 250,000.
But seriously I don't think official figures have been released.

1. Most likely the cover, why don't you just try taking it out slowly?
2. Why don't you? - Answer those two.

So fans like myself can answer other fans (that's you) questions.
Sometimes people like asking questions and selfishly not answer others.

which song was the the album written around? or which was written first?

I would have to say demon seed was written first (as it appears to be a ghosts track) although it's hard to judge exactly what the album was based around.

Most likely a metaphorical one.

Thanks for your useless and ignorant info Bard, but it appears this thread was started by a forum administrator to be moderated by the same forum admin/other moderator. Sooo...

You asked a question which I answered (there have been no official sales figures recorded)

And i had a go at you (not as a mod, but as some-one who see's a selfish brat) to patiently wait for answers instead of acting like a tool.

To us who don't have will, time nor bandwith to download the high-bitrate version, can you be more specific in what's so "strange"? What did you hear (if it wasn't NIN)? What did it sound like? Etc etc.

it was electronic music, very dark, and extremely loud. If your speakers were set at a normal setting it would blast through so loud you might lose some hearing doing so. Most of it was just drum loops and ambient synths. Kinda gave you the shivers to listen to.

Have you heard 38 Ghosts V yet?

But it's just an evolution of Trent's music, you have the base elements coming together and then a new twist.

ok... which ghosts track is Demon Seed, then?
also, do you think The Slip is the follow- up to Year Zero, or just another NIN album with Year Zero themes?

I love how The Slip has musical elements from all NIN eras.
PHM - Discipline, Echoplex (synth-drums, awesome beats)
Broken - Letting You, 999,999 (fast-paced, almost metal, 999,999 is similar to Pinion)
TDS - Letting You, 1,000,000 (moody, 1,000,000 has great drums like March Of The Pigs)
The Fragile - 999,999, Lights In The Sky (ambient, moody, lots of paino)
WT - Echoplex, Head Down (radio-friendly, the chorus in Head Down)
YZ - Echoplex, Demon Seed (more awesome beats, heavy synth)
Ghosts - Corona Radiata, The Four Of Us Are Dying (experimental, catchy in an odd way)

A+

When I attempted to download the Mp3 version of "The Slip" (several times) it shows the file as being empty. Can anyone help me out here?

None. Someone will find it and he'll give them to all of his friends. And then they'll give them to all of their friends. And so on, and so on, and so on.

Either that, or it'll become a lost relic. An ancient piece of orgasmic history.
