Nine Inch Nails - Page 8

Dear god, I just don't know what to say about this


This is beyond my wildest dream of entertainment value


Edit: What Trent has to say about the album

"This record began as an experiment with noise on a laptop in a bus on tour somewhere. That sound led to a daydream about the end of the world. That daydream stuck with me and over time revealed itself to be much more. I believe sometimes you have a choice in what inspiration you choose to follow and other times you really don't. This record is the latter. Once I tuned into it, everything fell into place... as if it were meant to be. With a framework established, the songs were very easy to write. Things started happening in my "real" life that blurred the lines of what was fiction and what wasn't. The record turned out to be more than a just a record in scale, as you will see over time.

Part one is year zero. Concept record. Sixteen tracks. All written and performed by me, produced / programmed by me and Atticus Ross, mixed by Alan Moulder, mastered by Brian "Big Bass" Gardner. Release date: April 17, 2007.

What's it about? Well, it takes place about fifteen years in the future. Things are not good. If you imagine a world where greed and power continue to run their likely course, you'll have an idea of the backdrop. The world has reached the breaking point - politically, spiritually and ecologically. Written from various perspectives of people in this world, "year zero" examines various viewpoints set against an impending moment of truth. How does it sound? You will hear for yourself soon enough, but given the point of this document is to provide information...

This record is much more of a "sound collage" than recent efforts from me.

A lot of it was improvised.

It is very tedious describing your own music.

It's not just music.

It's probably too long, but it felt like the right thing to do to paint the complete picture.

It will sound different after a few listens.

You can think about it and it will reveal more than you were expecting.

You can dance to a lot of it.

You can *bleep* to a lot of it (maybe all of it depending on what you're into).

"This Is Year Zero.." ~ T-Rezzo

Not just a gimmick, he says, but a part of the album. The marketing is art... "And we're just getting started."

Mark my words, the marketing will truley start in a trailer for The 300's previews.

I heard the new single today... kinda boring. You'd think he woulda picked something cooler for a single.

The single Survivalism has been hitting radio now
a decent song, not the best from them.

Cannot wait for the 27th! Blu-Ray version come to me!
It's going to be orgasmic, honestly.

Most singles aren't the best, I think that's a pretty common trend.

I've already heard it a second, third, fourth, and fifth time and it's still not better than "My Violent Heart."

With Teeth is an awesome album, in fact I like it better than what I've heard of Year Zero before.

I don't understand why people are against WT so much.
