 ALBUM OF THE YEAR January 23, 2008
Released only two years after comeback album With Teeth, Year Zero is a concept album set in the future with a guest apperance from his new buddy Saul Williams.
The album is not for the faint of heart so fall out boy fans can stop reading now you wont find any ready made coporate radio rock here.
From the opening of hyperpower the album never lets up and features some of Reznors heaviest work to date before ending peacefullywith zero sum.
If your a nin fan get this now, if your not do yourself a favour and get it to futher your music education.
very different January 15, 2008
when starting to listen to any new nine inch nails album i never know what to expect except for it to be good. year zero didn't disapoint.
this is very different to anything trent reznor has done before and takes quite awhile to get used to. the instrumentation has been stripped down and sounds a bit droning, seemingly so that trent can concentrate on the lyrics more (which makes sense as it's a concept album dealing with the future).
the main downside to this album is that it isn't the sort of CD that you can just press play and listen to all the way through because a few of the tracks are pretty bad, however most of them are good and that's more than you can say about most albums lately (that have about 1 or 2 decent tracks).
i still prefer pretty hate machine and the downward spiral because this album just doesn't have the tracks that standout and hit you from the first listen (the music here certainly isn't as catchy) nor does it have the same emphasis on the drum beats as previously mentioned albums (with the exception of "the warning" which i loved), but what is here is a story well told and in an interesting and original way with good lyrics and a futuristic, claustrophobic feel that lives up to the high standards he has set himself.
In my opinion, his most consistent album yet January 4, 2008

The songwriting on Year Zero is very solid throughout, both musically and lyrically. Several themes - like paranoia and politics - creep into the usual heavy introspection Trent Reznor is so fond of (and is still here but more honed than in the past).
The music also varies in tone, from dark and brooding to energetic and aggressive. The instruments are indeed more electronic than the recent NIN offerings, but they suit the songs themselves perfectly. It's very sparse and intense in places, and the accompaniment of electronics with the usual drums and guitar add to the feeling of isolation and paranoia. The Downward Spiral would not have worked nearly as well if it had been recorded in this style - but TDS is a completely different set of songs, so they can't really be compared on the same level. Enjoy them both (I sure do!), just don't expect them to sound the same.
In a nutshell, I think this is the most consistent NIN album to date. Bloody brilliant.
Awesum!!! January 2, 2008

This album is a breath of fresh air in the corporate controlled music industry of today! Its fantastic to see someone doing something truely original and different in an age where even the most alternative of bands are manufactured by the industry. I would highly recommend this album to anyone its a classic - 5 Stars
 Absolute rubbish December 11, 2007

This is the worse NIN release ever. The whole album feels like Trent left it to the last minute to record the album.
Expect random nasty sounding samples, weak vocals and nothing attractive to listen to.
The basic pattern of virtual every track is:
30 seconds of bad drum machine intro
30 seconds of random noise
weak verse
weak chorus
rinse and repeat
more noise and bad drum machines
If you have a taste in music, avoid like the plague.
