After the huge success of the more than popular Ghosts I-IV, Nine Inch Nails comes back with another album that is full of adrenaline pumping beats and riffs, called The Slip. And to top that, this one is available for free to download, with the disks still under production. The apparent reason for the release of The Slip online may be that NIN is about to have a tour at the end of this year, and this album will serve to build some hype for it.

Band of Horses recently burst back into prominence with their second album, “Cease To Begin”, a distinct improvement from their debut effort, 2006’s “Everything All The Time”.
