The Slip [Vinyl]
by: Nine Inch Nails

Editorial Review:

The Slip (also known as Halo 27) is the eighth major studio release by Industrial Rock act Nine Inch Nails. The album was produced by Trent Reznor alongside Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder. The album features vocals and traditional song structures, unlike its 2008 counterpart Ghosts I-IV. Much like Ghosts I-IV, the album was released under a Creative Commons license, allowing fans to remix and reuse all or part of the album non-commercially. A tour for the album, entitled "Lights in the Sky 2008", begins in late July and will take place over most of North and South America.

The downward spiral indeed. Reznor continues his artistic liberations via no record contracts, although it is becoming more and more clear that, unlike Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails used that platform to capitalize on its popularity and fan base by releasing sometimes less restrained, but almost always less detailed songs. The Slip works well enough to provide ample counterpoint to his last snooze-fest of industrial ambiance, Ghosts I-IV, with a way more uptempo, rocking vibe, but still continues down a path... more info

Nothing But Honesty:

Everyone should be aware that The Slip gets better and better with each and every listen but I can't help but feel that my admiration for NIN is fading as quickly as they're churning out albums. I like this album but I don't know how people can rate it four and five stars. Think of it in these terms, whoever gave this 5 stars is saying that it is on par with NIN's "best stuff" which is a blatant fabrication or just the same whoever gave this 4 stars was stretching the truth by saying it is only one freakin'... more info
