Nine Inch Nails: Ghosts I-IV - PopMatters Music Review

This morning PopMatters published my first review in over a year. I think it is a pretty OK review. It is very good to be working again. Like I said in my last post the process was harder than I thought that it would be but the results made it all worth it. There is an excerpt below and a link to the full article.

Recorded over ten weeks in the autumn of 2007, Ghosts I-IV is a departure in many ways for Nine Inch Nails mainstay Trent Reznor. No song titles, no record label, no lyrics. Until April 8th 2008 there is not even a physical album. The concept of this release, if not the content, is an exhibition in minimalism. If it had been released under any moniker other than Nine Inch Nails, it might not have achieved the same amount of attention (the volume of downloads on the first weekend of release broke the band’s website). In many ways it challenges what we know about the band, as it liberates Reznor’s skill at musical composition from his often trite lyrics.
