Fans will not want to miss picking up a copy of the new Nine Inch Nails’ album ‘The Slip’, released here as a 2 disc package containing the brand new album ‘The Slip’ on CD along with a bonus DVD featuring live performances from the band's rehearsals for its upcoming summer tour and a glimpse into the NIN recording process.
After a month of songwriting ‘The Slip’ was performed and recorded in three weeks of studio time at Trent Reznor’s inhome studio. Reznor is joined, once again, on the new album by live band members Josh Freese on drums, Robert Finck (who returns after a period as Slash's replacement in Guns 'N Roses) on guitar and longtime keyboardist Alessandro Cortini. The album was produced by Atticus Ross and mixed by Alan Moulder.
‘The Slip’ perfectly demonstrates Reznor’s unique ability to shift from raging industrial rock numbers to ballads to ambient instrumental tracks, but unlike his previous album ‘Ghosts I-IV’, vocals make a welcome return to Reznor’s repertoire on the bulk of this new album. Trent is without a doubt in his best form here since ‘The Downward Spiral’ and this new album clearly indexes many of his most appealing qualities as a songwriter, vocalist and album sequencer.
‘The Slip’ is strictly limited edition release and comes as a deluxe, numbered US import in a 6-panel digipak with a 24 page-accompanying booklet and a sticker pack with three exclusive designs.
