I've been thinking about how amazing this distribution scheme is all day, and I really want this to be the future of music sales. So, even though I don't like the music, I'm going to pay the $5, because this is an idea I want to support, and nothing speaks louder than dollars. I want this to be a colossal success, not because I like NIN, but because this is what needs to happen to the music industry.

God damn, dude, do I have to buy all of Avril Lavigne's albums and give them full deep-thought listening sessions, before I can say that they're shit?

Useless posts noted, move along. Just because I'm not jacking over the album doesn't mean I can't discuss it. Yeah, I'm dissing the music, but I'm super enthusiastic about the distribution, and I don't see why my position is somehow invalid for discussion here. There will certainly be many people who are only interested in this because of the distribution method, and I'm one of them. What I have to say about it is just as useful and relevant as a post saying "OMG TRENT GR8 ALBUM I LUV YOU WITH MOUTH LONG TIME."
I take it you guys are NIN superfans or something (I notice that there don't seem to be many casual NIN fans; many of the ones I've encountered are raving zealots), and that it really grills your cheese that I'm not singing the album's praises, but I'm interested in this story, and would like to participate in discussions about it's amazing sales methods.
