'''''The Slip''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 27]]''''') is the eighth and latest studio album from [[Nine Inch Nails]]. It was released as a free download on May 5, 2008, and contains the previously released Web-only singles "[[Discipline]]" and "[[Echoplex]]."
The album is available for download in a variety of formats, including MP3, lossless FLAC and high-quality WAV files. When playing the MP3 files in an MP3 player a different piece of artwork is displayed for each song, [[The_Photography_of_Ghosts_I%E2%80%93IV|as was the case with ]] ''[[Ghosts I–IV]]''.
''The Slip'' sounds quite lighter then anything Nine Inch Nails has ever released before, and surpasses ''[[Year Zero]]'' on the use of raw noise. Some of its tracks are very dance-friendly.
There also seems to be a mistake in the wave files; The track "The Four Of Us Are Dying" is mistitled "Demon Seed" and vice versa.
