I just finished listening to the whole album for those who care. I was impressed by it and am glad to see this kind of release as opposed to the typical remixes between main albums (not that these are bad or anything, its just not "new" material).
That being said, it is all instrumental, which really puts some people off. I have always loved NIN's instrumental stuff, and I highly recommend this album to any NIN fan. Ghosts I, II, III, and IV seem to all have their own thematic strain, the first and last ones being a little calmer and the middle two being a little flashier.
Props to Trent for doing digital distribution the right way too. The options you have off the main website are 320kbs LAME MP3, FLAC, and Apple lossless, which is just about everything a sound freak could ask for.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
