I know there's already been a topic or two about this, but today is Grey Tuesday. Several websites announced plans to host DJ Dangermouse's The Grey Album (including downhillbattle.org). They received an email from EMI containing a cease and desist demand. The response from downhill.org can be found here. Grey Tuesday is about more than just downloading an album, it's about changing the way the music industry works.
Cheers.

downhill battle is a really cool site... i'm not sure how they arrived at the conclusion that they can get away with sharing that album, but i think it's cool that they're trying...

I guess now a days there are quite to be CD's (especially in rap/hip hop) that have only a few solid tracks with playability. I'm sure that perhaps 50% of the tracks will be good. I never listen to a rap album and expect to be blown away. Chances are that there are a few gems and the rest is coal.
Just my .02

I got dirt off your shoulder first and liked it... not worth all the huge hype tho.

i've never been a jay-z fan at all, so i'm not expecting much.
but, this album is getting a schload of hype, so i d/l'ed one of the tracks, and it was about as good as i expected it to be (read: not very), but it's a really cool concept.

Not great. The mixes are all predictable and uninteresting, totally lacks the soul and zaniness of the source material. Granted it's a different feel, and an inferior one. But it was an interesting idea and I think they at least did the White Album justice, it's not bad by any means, and I expected worse. The tracks that used Gently Weeps and Long Long Long were the best.
