[[Image:HMstandardjapanese.jpg|thumb|Japanese standard artwork]][[Image:HMstandardaustralian.jpg|thumb|Australian standard artwork]]'''''Hesitation Marks''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 28]]''''') is the ninth studio album from [[Nine Inch Nails]]. It will be was released on September 3, 2013 in a total of five formats: CD, Deluxe Edition CD, vinyl, digital and iTunes Deluxe Edition. The album was recorded secretly over the course of a year and came as a complete surprise to fans.
On August 26th, 2013, the full album was leaked on the internet, and was made available for streaming on iTunes the following day. The album will be available in two different masters for digital download, a "standard" version and an "Audiophile Mastered Version" - the latter having extended dynamic range, not meant to be competitive in the loudness war.[http://nineinchnails.tumblr.com/post/59587808317/hesitation-marks-was-mastered-in-two-different]

This album marks a return to the artwork of [[Russell Mills]], whose work was previously used for ''[[March Of The Pigs (halo)|March Of The Pigs]]'', ''The Downward Spiral'', ''[[Further Down The Spiral]]'' and ''[[Closure]]''. There is a different cover for each of the five editions. Reznor stated in a radio interview[http://soundcloud.com/q877/walt-talks-with-trent-reznor] that he couldn't choose between the various covers and decided to use them all. He also stated that Mills had suggested the album title.
Some of the alternate covers are used within the packaging of the other editions, i.e. the cover of the standard CD is inside the gatefold of the vinyl, the cover of the iTunes Deluxe Edition is on the booklet of the standard CD, etc. The covers of the Japanese and Australian standard CDs are a variation on the cover of the US standard CD, with the painting oriented sideways and, in the case of the Japanese cover, photographed from a slightly different vantage point. The digital Audiophile Mastered Version cover is a variation on the standard digital cover, with the painting again oriented sideways.
In a post on the official NIN Tumblr account[http://nineinchnails.tumblr.com/post/55697135231/each-version-of-hesitation-marks-will-have-its-own], the various artwork was elaborated on by Mills:
