Product Description

Nine Inch Nails, the industrial rock pioneers led by Trent Reznor, unveiled "Ghosts I-IV" on April 8, 2008, under their independent label, The Null Corporation. This ambitious project is a sprawling, 36-track instrumental journey that defies conventional album structures, offering a unique blend of industrial rock, electronic, and alternative metal elements.

Clocking in at nearly two hours, "Ghosts I-IV" is divided into four distinct volumes, each containing nine tracks. The album is a testament to Reznor's experimental side, showcasing a wide range of moods and textures, from hauntingly beautiful melodies to intense, rhythmic compositions. The tracks are untitled, identified only by their volume and sequence number, inviting listeners to interpret the music on their own terms.

Recorded primarily on a laptop during Reznor's downtime from other projects, "Ghosts I-IV" is a raw, intimate exploration of sound. The album's release was accompanied by a unique distribution model, with the first volume available for free download, setting a new precedent for digital music distribution.

Fans of Nine Inch Nails will find familiar elements in the album's industrial and metal undertones, while newcomers will appreciate the accessibility of the instrumental approach. "Ghosts I-IV" is a bold statement from one of the most influential artists in modern music, offering a fresh perspective on the boundaries of genre and form.

This 4LP set was released in 2008.

Packaging Flaws, Sound Excellence
5 out of 5 stars
WeweugUbd6 December 2025United States🇺🇸
I must say, the packaging is shockingly careless. I'm at a loss as to why they opted for a basic 2LP sleeve to stuff 4 LP's into. And did anyone else spot that tiny sticker claiming "36 tracks on 2 CD's"? LOL, they enlarged the sticker for the vinyl version, but couldn't be bothered to update the text to mention 4 LP's. That aside, I'm lucky that my copy didn't warp too much. And the sound quality is truly exceptional. Like, seriously exceptional. Really happy with that aspect.
Vinyl Quality, Packaging Disappointment
5 out of 5 stars
ddmozw15 August 2025United States🇺🇸
Just as many have mentioned before, the vinyls are top-notch - crisp, loud, and full of energy. However, the packaging is quite disappointing for an album of this caliber - it's flimsy and feels rather cheap. I'm thrilled with it for now, but I'm really hoping TR eventually gives this the Definitive Edition treatment (though do Year Zero first, please, Trent...)
Reznor's Instrumental Masterpiece
5 out of 5 stars
HamhXgoaju12 July 2025United States🇺🇸
Trent Reznor's knack for perfection shines through in this album, as I'd hoped. The audio quality is top-notch, with barely any background noise to speak of. Four discs packed with Nine Inch Nails' stellar instrumental tracks—it's a one-of-a-kind experience, perfect for those long, dark nights. I swapped out the original sleeves for super-thin, antistatic ones to better fit the album cover and prevent any rubbing. But I kept the silly paper sleeves too. It's great that newer NIN albums come with improved inner sleeves. I picked this up back in '08 and only pull it out for those special, intense listening sessions.
Low Volume, Decent Quality
4 out of 5 stars
td017024 May 2025United States🇺🇸
The volume is low but the sound quality is decent. My copy does have some warping on discs 3 and 4. Fortunately, this doesn't impact playback much, just a tiny skip on disc 3 and nothing on disc 4. The overall quality is alright, but this album really needs a new pressing.
Sticker Placement Disaster
5 out of 5 stars

Attempting to peel off the sticker from the corner...Biggest mistake ever! Now, my sleeve's top is ruined. Who came up with the brilliant idea to place the sticker on the sleeve instead of the foil?!
