Just go to NIN.com and see what's there. Looks like creating in progress....

    Underneath the video it says 'Year Zero' so I'm guessing all we're looking at is recording from... you guessed it...

    You mean the line that has 'performance, year zero, video, merch' in a line? No, that's always been there. That guy playing is Adrian Belew who worked with Trent on The Downward Spiral and The Fragile, and has been confirmed as working on Year Zero Two (or whatever he decides to name it). The guy on the floor is I'm pretty sure, Alan Moulder. Trent is posting new pics almost ever day, but this is the first video instead of picture in a while.

    Not so. Those are links to other parts of the website.

    This may be the mathematician in me...but Year Zero Two = Year One. :D

    I'm very excited about new material so soon. AND there's no record label to tie him down. Another internet album ALA Radiohead and Saul Williams, methinks.

    I stand corrected.. twice. My bad.

    Still, the Year Zero material was OK, hopefully the second part is better.

    I liked it, but I can see why a lot of people didn't. I'm just glad he is producing new music instead of releasing an album every six years or so.

    Might sound a bit anal, but there was ONE reason I didn't like it much - but it was reason enough to put me off as a whole. About four or five songs seem to have an extremely similar drum track running through them. Also, there are a few consecutive tracks where that drum loop is both the intro and the outro to all the songs. It just sounds monotonous. Especially coming from a guy who is very very knowledgable about dynamics and variety, normally.
