Summary: orgasmic!
Comment: I love this CD! if you don't like the newer NIN albums (with teeth, year zero) you probably won't like this, but d*** I love it! this is one of those albums that resonates at a different level each time you listen to it... highly recommended for those who don't fear change :)

Summary: Don't let this one SLIP away!!
Comment: I bought the five dollar download here on Amazon last spring. I am still very impressed with this ten track album. of the ten tracks, four of which are the slow tempo, 'still' like tunes...leaving the other six tracks to be hard, pumping, loud noisy rockers. Discpline was recorded on a Monday and playing on radio's by Wednesday (the same week).
Key tracks to listen for: Discipline, Head Down, Corona Radiata and Demon Seed. My favorite track is Head Down. All the songs have awesome lyrics, as only trent reznor could compose and portray. Very good music. An awesome unexpected Halo. I had no idea of its production around the time of the mp3 download. It IS overwhelming to think NIN's has releasedthree albums, many singles and remixes and the ghosts project all withing the same decade!!! Keep 'em comin' trent!!!

Summary: I'm torn between opinions
Comment: I give this an even 2.5 with the knowing that it'll grow on me. First of all, when I was at work I heard 'Discipline' on a local station that plays NIN like mad (which is the only material played on the station that I doesn't drive me to throw the player out the window), and that was how I learned of this album. I was ecstatic when 'With Teeth' arrived, loved parts of it, but pretty much couldn't and still can't stand the choice of singles from the album, the songs from which sort of now define the whole album as kind of poor. I like 'Year Zero', though these days I'm not the NIN fanatic I once was and now I'm more casual than anything, but yet retain high respect for Mr. Reznor. I love instrumental music, so naturally the industrial yet organic 'Ghosts' has become one of my all-time favorite albums, it's so hard to describe what value it has for me.
But when I learned of this somewhat short album (to today's standards) with considering the quick release I couldn't bring myself to much enthusiasm, and 'Discipline' upon first hearing felt more like it was a lost track from NIN's last two vocal albums.
The great songwriting cannot be denied on 'The Slip' for sure, but each song tends to more or less melt into a general sound of cleverly punctuated percussion and thicky guitars. The more artsy and progressive industrial sound that had brought NIN to great value for me exists in little form here, and I feel the hasty release, which didn't hamper the great songwriting as I said before, took away from the time for each track to take on it's own unique qualities; really from track 2-6 it's programmed beats and guitar with not so much else to offer. All the songs are great, but I can recall very few moments throughout, that is until, including the introductory instrumental, I reach track 7, a down-tempo, slightly bitter song with simple yet obviously well-constructed piano, quiet vocals and ambience, a breath of sad but fresh air. The isolating surreal sound continues with Corona Radiata, then you're thrown into a 'Year Zero'-esque lo-fi electronic tune laced with some great live instrumentation. Then the album ends as it had started, with more pounding and heavy strumming, but in a more industrial style with 'Demon Seed'.
Altogether I don't love it, and I personally am beginning to feel just a little overwhelmed by the sudden change of pace of releases, but like I said before I know it'll grow on me.

Summary: The beat is still vital, but the melody is fading
Comment: 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 of sagging mediocrity. Reznor will always be a perceptive producer and offer intriguing soundscapes- even at his most generic or derivative, but it feels like the overall compositional quality has indeed slipped.
