Trent Reznor sent Nine Inch Nails fans ducking for cover on April Fool’s Day when he announced a free download of his new album produced by Timbaland.
The Nine Inch Nails founder announced that his ‘Strobelight’ album was a free download, which you could by for $18.98 plus a $10 digital delivery convenience fee.The fictitious album featured one track with Chris Martin, Jay-Z and Bono, another with Justin Timberlake and Maynard James Keenan, a duet with Alicia Keys and a wonderful amalgamation of talents with Fergie and Al Jourgensen performing together with the Nails.
The joke came a day after Reznor went to town on Chris Cornell’s Timbaland produced album stating on Twitter “Heard Chris Cornell’s record? Jesus”.
Cornell twittered back to saying “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”.
Here is the hilarious tracklisting for the fake album:
1. intro skit
