Albums That You Won't Believe Are Free

Lets start by saying that downloading music is awesome, and we haven't quite seen anything like this hit the music industry since CD's first came out. Whether or not piracy is really hurting the CD industry is something that will be discussed later, but for now here's some awesome free, LEGAL CD's, that are not only good, you'll probably feel like paying for them.



Nine Inch Nails - The Slip

After pretty much telling off the record companies and telling all of his fans to download his music illegally, Trent took the next big step and released The Slip online for free. Oh yes of course you can pay for it, or donate to him if you want, but hey 10 NIN tracks for NOTHING? Yeah you definitely gotta grab this. Not his best album by any means, but definitely worth checking out.

Explosions In The Sky - The Rescue

Wildly hailed as the frontier band of the post-rock genre, EITS are probably not the best post-rock band, but they certainly have a very distinct, if somewhat mainstream, sound to them. Regardless, a free album of tunes from these guys is not something you want to pass up. The concept of the album is just what it sounds like, a rescue operation. It's totally left up to the listener as what exactly is happening, which is the beauty of this record. For a price, this album is a great addition to a great bands discography. For free, it's something no music listener should be without.

Bulb - Best Of Misha Mansoor

While this isn't an album per say, its definitely some free music some people would most definitely be interested in. Bulb is a guitarist from the D.C. area who writes technical, instrumental, experimental metal pretty much all by himself. Most of the songs on this compilation are produced and recorded by him, with the help of the members of his main band Periphery. He puts all these songs on his soundclick site for free, and of course this is a compilation of all his best works. Pretty heavy stuff for the most part, but with a touch of softness to really make things stand out. Definitely recommended for people into experimental, or generally heavy music.
