    Tracks 7, 23, and 35 are so badass.

    I have listened to the free portion twice. Liked it a lot. This morning I bought the full deal and it is good, different, but good. During some songs I made up words to go along with it, which is tough to do when the artist throws their lyrics all over the music. If you like the MUSIC that is nine inch nails, u should like this.

    This is a perfect explanation of how this project sounds.

    The lowest price is only $5! Just buy it. It is so worth it.

    Audiodave, as I listen I can tell its going to take me a long time to wrap myself around it - there is so much of it! He's also posted cryptic things on echoingthesound, so I think something's still up. I'm also ADD when it comes to something this voluminous - I'm having a hard time just listening track by track - I keep skipping around. I jumped right to Ghost 3 before 2.

    oooh, yeah...where??? i have avoided ETS because i didnt want to deal with any negativity (people bitching about the site crashing, etc)

    i finished my first listen this morning...and i LOVE it. the idea of it being a "soundtrack for daydreams" is so right on. each song sends my mind in a different direction and knowing that each listen will most likely bring out something new makes me want to listen to it over and over.

    ETS is a perfectly good board. The mistake some people make is to go there and immediately start posting. My advice for ETS is read for at least a month, keep your mouth shut, and get the lay of the land before you write anything, and for God's sake do not start a thread until you know what you're doing. Its not like the PJ board where everyone starts threads all the time. It is an excellent well run board, and some very cool people. They just don't suffer fools gladly and they'll smack you down fast if you act like one. It is my favorite board and has been for over a year.

    I am truly enjoying Ghosts, and looking forward to my long drives later this week.

    Too bad this board isn't like that.

    I got Ghosts last night and listened to I and II on my ride to work this morning. It's ok so far. Doesn't blow me away.

    I love 12 and 13.

    I think this is the first instrumental album I've ever really sat down and listened to. It's quite a different experience to listening to a regular album with vocals. It's certainly more challenging, and definitely makes you pay more attention to the intricacies.

    Love him or hate him, Trent Reznor is a fucking clever guy. Seriously, he has a better understanding of how people appreciate music and how listening habits have changed, than any record company could ever hope to have. Although the downloads were a bit of a fuck up, the theory is brilliant, and I'm sure future releases will run a lot more smoothly. I'm betting many bands will go this route.

    Me too.

    The download finally went through for me. Comes with the artwork/screensavers too. Pretty nice freebee. I might not buy thought because it's instrumental

    Does anyone know what will be available to the public when it is released? I went to buy the $10 2 cd set and the shipping was $6.99! :eek: Figure if that's what going to be released what's the point?
    PJ FANS ROCK!!!

    Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"

    Some words when spoken...can't be taken back.

    No, I didn't buy it because of the shipping...didn't seem like such a deal once I saw that. Listening to free download stuff now...very interesting. Actually perfect for all the shit I have been going thru the last week or so.

    i'm sure it's been commented on b/c it's so amazing - but the artwork & pdf that even came with the free version was freaking great. very impressed by that.

    After reading your post I actually went and looked at the PDF stuff and you were right...amazing. Listened to the 9 song free thing. Some good stuff...kinda suits the mood I am in right now. I am a huge fan of lyrics though...

    this is some great music.. i love the detail he put into the song files. the little thing like the appropriate picture on each songs artwork that also corresponds to the "pdf liner notes" that has a brief description of who participated in the song.

    i cant wait to start hearing remix.nin.com now. there is a lot that people can do with this music.

    I'm not overwhelmed by it. I think it's solid and great music to have on while working but none of it really stands out. That said, I paid the $5 because I believe in this as a business model for the future. I think it was awesome of him to do.

    the shipping is crazy! part of the reason I didn't jump on the $300 package was that they wanted almost another $75 for shipping to Canada! yikes.
