Nine Inch Nails - Not The Actual Events

A “Digital + Physical Component” package was available solely for purchase through the Nine Inch Nails official web store for a limited time. Purchasing this version included the instant download of the MP3 EP and a “physical component” which shipped later.

The physical component contains six 10x7 inch color printed cards which contain song lyrics and EP credits, along with a 9.5x6.5 inch x-ray-like print of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross with their eyes scratched out, all sealed in an unmarked black envelope with a cautionary sticker on the back side. The package and all the contents also happen to contain a fine layer of black toner dust, which (as indicated on the cautionary sticker) will make a mess when opened. (See images for details).

According to the official NIN website, “The intention of this record is for it to exist in the physical world, just like you.”
