beautifully composed
I listen to it several times per week in its entirety, usually while I am writing. This is such an ethereal, gorgeous collection of instrumental pieces. As a long-time NIN fan, I am so pleased to experience this different side of them (although each piece contains elements that are classic NIN). It is a masterpiece. If you are a NIN fan there is no possible way you will dislike this. I'm really looking forward to more "ghosts" from Trent in the future!.


Best NIN album since Downward Spiral
Very impressive ride that can easily make you sad or amped up. Ghosts is a great album, NIN hasn't seen an album of this magnatude since Downward Spiral came out. Tracks go very well in the order their put in.


Naming the Ghosts
The ones with astericks are my favorites. I came up with these names for them. I left out the tracks I don't like as much. Let me know if you got any other names, or your thoughts on the tracks.

G1 - Death*
G2 - After Life
G3 - Your Life In Review*
G4 - Battle For Your Soul*
G6 - Blinking Lights
G8 - Monster Stomp*
G11 - Falling Down Stairs
G12 - Walking And Driving
G14 - Country Jam*
G15 - Haunted Basement
G16 - Electronic Groove*
G18 - Groovey Electronics*
G19 - Banging Stuff
G20 - Thru The Electric Storm*
G21 - Blinking Lights 2
G23 - Static Race
G24 - Get The Door!
G26 - More Driving
G27 - Rocking Groove
G28 - Japanese Guitar
G29 - Funky Groove
G31 - Live Jam (because they played it on the 2008 tour)*
G33 - Marching Static
G34 - The Sad End*

As you may have noticed, the first 4 have a theme of dying and the after life, with you getting pulled by both the dark and light in the 4th song, but the theme seems to end after that.


REALLY grows on you
That being said, it has become mandatory writing music, as the music builds soundscapes that are quite conducive to imagery. I'll admit, it took me a few listens, as I like the music, but each song is a very short single-themed piece which I wish had been maybe half the number of tracks with interwoven themes. After listening to the SLIP (which includes "The Four Of Us Are Dying" - a superior instrumental that DOES mix themes), I'm quite intrigued to find out if/when Trent will do GHOSTS V-VIII. Of course, as I'm a die-hard NIN fan, I'd like him to do another three albums for purchase next week. . . but I think the poor man needs a nice long break.


Relaxed
Not much already said about Nin's ghosts. For 5 bucks this is for really any NiN Fan. I wanted to share a quick story what happen to me when I was listening to Ghosts. I fell alsleep to it , not sure which track it was but I was basecily in and out of a (Zombine sleep) when i was dreaming i was in a Torando. And it sounded like one. And woke my as* up. ! It was just to bizzare!! And yea thats bascily it on that. .
