NINE INCH NAILS - NINE INCH NAILS RELEASES THE SLIP FOR FREE ON SITE
Nine Inch Nails are giving away their new album The Slip online as a thank-you to fans, according to the band's website.
The ten-track album is available in several formats including MP3, FLAC, M4A or 24/96 WAVE.
The download also includes a pdf with artwork and credit. The band also said for those fans who still like physical formats, a vinyl and CD format will be out in July.
"We encourage you to remix it, share it with your friends, post it on your blog, play it on your podcast, give it to strangers etc," Nine Inch Nails said on the site.
On the site, the band added: "Thank you for your continued support and loyal support over the years. This one's on me."
Fan reaction to the move was positive, with over a thousand comments posted on the site by 17:00 BST.
Rock act Nine Inch Nails, founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor, has spoken out against the music industry in the past.
Trent Reznor announced in 2007 that Nine Inch Nails would proceed independently of record labels, and in March this year the group released nine songs from their instrumental album Ghosts I-IV for free on the site, with the full 36 tracks costing only $5 (£2.55).

If you like NIN you may be interested in the album I just finished last month. It
is also available free. Licenced with the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Licence.
This licence lets you use this music for commercial products or make remixes or other
derivative works, so long as you give credit to the original artists.
Politics Apocalypse is political and subversive post-industrial rock with an interesting
mix of classical instruments, guitars, electronic beats, and a small dash of aussie
hip-hop. You can download the whole 11 track album at no cost at our website.

We are also doing a name your own price CD (starting at cost price).
I don’t mean to spam but I am trying to get the word out to those who may be interested.
BTW I love The Slip, great album.
