 - stay freshthis is quickly becoming my favorite NIN album. i can listen to the entire double disc album on a loop and not get tired of it. the fact that there are no lyrics, keeps it fresh for me. to me Reznor always excelled at composing music and this puts that right out there w/o the lyrics to overshadow it. Rating:  - What?Reznor records himself sitting on his keyboard....shuffles his buttocks around a bit....and then sells it..... Rating:  - THe soundtrack for my daydreams!I'll keep it short and simple. If you like industrial music or instrumentals. This is for you. This album uses piano and a wide vareity of other instruments and technology. This album is perfect for relaxing to, or if your like me, I often listen to it while writing poetry to get the juices flowing. Really well done. I reccomend it. My only negative isnt that big, but some of the tracks feel bland and too industrial and loud, like you cant even make it out. But, thats just me. I really enjoyed this adventure the album took me on! Rating: - Diverse and beautiful.Reznor always did best when it came to instrumentals. I loved the Still album, but it was so short I wished there'd been more. I heard about Ghost IV and saw it in BestBuy for $10 so I decided to get it. This is exactly what I wanted. Some of the pieces are more synth and beat based, others being more focused on somber piano and strings. None of the tracks have names, just numbers. My favorites are Disc 3: Track 4, Disc 4: Track 1, and Disc 4: Track 7. They evoke a strange wave of emotion that's hard to describe, if you remember "Adrift and At Peace" and "Leaving Hope" from the Still album, its kinda like that. This probably isn't the best album for Metal/Industrial fans, but if you like classical, ambient or game music this would be right up your alley. Rating:  - Good but some how falls flatThis is an excellent release for trent's first release on his own private label. I enjoyed it quite a bit, the unfortunate bit of it was that it didn't include anything but music, which i understand is for trents newest fad of wanting remixes made of his music (see year zero remixed). I enjoy the industrial noise, but i wish it had had lyrics.
