New Nine Inch Nails Album Out Today

No, actually, it's not David Lee Roth who's Conficker - it's Trent Reznor.

All those dope beats and fly soundz? Why, it's the new Nine Inch Nails album Strobe Light,  produced by none other than Timbaland, and available today only, April 1, for download at the official NIN.com site.

Admittedly, with all the April Fools day merriment going on all over the internet and, uh, at various music websites, it's hard to tell the real deal from the bullshit. But has Trent Reznor ever been a joking man? Does he look like he's laughing in the sleeve photo, above? (Well, maybe just a tiny smirk, but...) And dig the collaborations on the record too - only someone like Trent would have the juice to call up a roster of homies like this; "Pussygrinder" with Sheryl Crow, yow.

2. everybody's doing it (featuring chris martin, jay-z AND bono)
3. black t-shirt
