Nine Inch Nails mainman, Trent Reznor, has never been one to keep his opinions to himself. Indeed, he told a lot of Australian NIN fans to go download his albums released via Interscope, as the lable had priced the records way above market price and told Reznor "NIN fans will buy your albums whatever the cost", not realising that this might've antagonised the moody Reznor somewhat.

That's all in the past though, as Reznor's contract with the label came to an end last year. And already he's got something new to release, a 36-track instrumental NIN record under the name 'Ghosts I - IV'. And he's letting you have it for nothing. Well, next to nothing.

The new album is available at five different prices: 

If you pay absolutely nothing, you get the first nine tracks and a big 40-page pdf with all manner of extras.

If you pay $5, you get all 36 tracks and the special pdf.

If you pay $10, you get all of the tracks as a download, and a "CD set shipped out to you in April.

If you can spare $75, you get all of the above, plus an additional photo book, a dtata DVD with all the tracks in multi-track format so you get remix away, and a Blu-Ray DVD version of the album. All in a fancy box.

However, if you are a NIN mental, you can order the ultra-limited $300 version, which has all of the above plus the album on vinyl, another shiny book, and the whole kaboodle personally signed by Reznor himself.

However, when huge worldwide superstar acts release stuff like this, it has a tendency to cause websites to crash - at the time of writing the site was running so slow it would probably be quicker to form an orderly queue outside Reznor's house and distribute the record by hand.
