Has anyone else heard of this? It's a pretty exciting project IMHO, I hope it does well and shows that it's indeed time for a change in the music industry. I love the idea of an entire album being released under creative commons. I'm definitely going to check it out when it's released on the 21st.

I'm listening to it right now, Pretty good - reminds me of Kataklysm.

If I had to pick something to comlain about - I'd like a little more thump to the kick drum but that's a minor nitpick and overall I like it.
I've already recommended the download to several people.

sounded good but im not a fan of that style (prefer rock that doesnt involve someguy with a deep voice growling/screaming at me)

Good old Jono Bacon! It'll be good to see how this goes.

im sure the OP already knows, but for those that like hard rock / metal and dont...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Slip_(album)#Release:

Like the previous Nine Inch Nails studio album Ghosts I–IV, The Slip was released under a Creative Commons attribution-noncommercial share alike license, in effect allowing anyone to use or rework the material for any non-profit purpose, as long as credit is provided and the resulting work is released under an identical license.

Sounds fantastic , Good work here.

Great music.
BASS drums are a little wired , but matched the metalcore characteristics.
Seems to be a drum kit!!

Riffs are killing though.
Sounds like the last album of Cryptopsy, some deathcore.

I listened to it all day in my car and I like it allot , thanks again.

I'm not really a fan of this kind of hardcore rock, but it's really great to see such an ambitious project.

Rock on, Jono! :guitar:
