The ID3 “comment” tag says “Go to www.nin.com May 5″. If I had to guess, there’ll likely be a new album avaliable for download at that time.

The embedded artwork can be viewed here

My initial impression is positive, definitely worth the 8.4 MB download.

Down with DRM, long live amazon.com and other DRM-free music retailers.
