Amazon.co.uk Review
Ghosts I-IV, the new album from Nine Inch Nails, sees the legendary rockers explore some serious new sonic territory. Comprised of almost two hours of music composed and recorded over a ten-week period, Ghosts I-IV boasts 36 tracks described by Trent Reznor as a "soundtrack for daydreams". That's perhaps true--especially if your daydreams are particularly dark and surreally beautiful. Swelling synths, infectious (and often maudlin) piano melodies, baleful drones and glitchy textures are the unorthodox instruments employed here rather than the standard guitars, drums and stadium-fuelled braggadocio. The immediate impression is more post-rock than indie rock, with sincere nods to avant practitioners like Sigur Ros and Radiohead. But contributions from the likes of Adrian Belew (King Crimson) ensure the mystical ambience is punctuated with blasts of electric psychedelia, and the NIN sound remains somehow recognizable beneath the surface. A hugely successful and beautifully otherworldly trip to outer musical realms. --Danny McKenna

 Mesmerizing June 18, 2008
I think this is brilliant - you really can see the nine inch nails in it. It is all intrumentals, so unfortunately no vocals or anthems here, but still not to be missed. This is music that is easy to get lost in, so amazing for relaxing, but it does have really nice melodies and tunes across the tracks.
Overall, as slightly peculiar offering, but not one too be missed once you have listened to most of their other albums and liked them. If you're in that position, this is unmissable for 36 tracks of raw trent reznor, for a very low price.

I loved this. Call it a soundtrack, ambient pulse of life or whatever, it is damn good. Shine on you crazy NIN diamonds! Pete

I heard that this album is "soundtrack for daydreaming" so expected it to be some kind of background music. So its not, this music involves listener and I have just sit and listen. I downloaded .pdf file from NIN site with pictures to each track what I recommend to do by everybody becouse they connected with tracks mood. This music maybe not easy but if you are conscious listener and looking for ambitious music buy this album. And its must-have for NIN fans to see how amazing artist Trent Reznor is...
Simply beautiful. April 20, 2008

Not, by any means, music you can just sit down and focus on. The perfect soundtrack to read a book to, ponder life to, do anything to.
Unexpected, yet still true to himself. Trent Reznor is doing what he wants. A big middle finger to the record industry.

When I initially heard Reznor was to release a double album of instrumental music, I was seriously excited. I hurriedly snapped up 'Ghosts I-IV', fully expecting an immersive ambient/noise masterpiece to rival Justin Broadrick's astonishing Final '3'. What I got instead was something akin to Fugazi's 'Instrument Soundtrack' - a jumbled collection of demos and backing tracks with only curiosity value and precious little replay appeal. If these song fragments pointed in some exciting new direction then this could have been a worthwhile release, but there's nothing here that wasn't already covered better within proper tracks on the stunning left half of 'The Fragile'. Even the title smacks of hubris; there is no discernable thematic difference between these four alleged movements, and the tracks seem thrown together in random order. As ever with Trent, it's not possible to call this a terrible album, but it's definitely far from his strongest work. Hopefully 'Ghosts I-IV' is merely a blip rather than a sign of artistic freedom going to the great man's head - NIN are too good to go the way of Radiohead et al.
