Anyone actually heard the entire album? Seems like a pretty crazy and scary album. It all seems to be about the not too distant future and where we are heading

Some days you wake up and sit on a park bench next to an eighty year old Russian architect, and some days you don't. I think this is my new life philosophy.

Clean, legal and should hold you over until the album's released.

Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.

Thank you!
Nothing gets me jazzed like a good album.

(already pre-ordered it)
I DL'ed it and the whole album is perfect CD quality! Buy it when it comes out but just DL it now!
It's pretty damn good...
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,OK its amazing!
Interesting. I loved With Teeth and I'm really liking the new album so far.
How else do these lyrics read but a message to the older generation that us kids will rise up. Listen to "the pot" by tool for similar material
So much potential
Or so we used to say
Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance
You piss it all away
We heard a cry
We've come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean
or these lyrics
You have set something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naïveté
About to reap what you have sown
Time will feed upon your weaknesses
And soon you'll lose the will to care
When you return to the place that you call home
We will be there, we will be there
On hands and knees we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood will stay
We will not go away
On hands and knees we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood, our grace
Will never leave this place
Actually I kind of disagree that it's 'same old Trent', lyrically he's usually very 'me, me, me', wheras the lyrics on this album seem a lot broader.
Agreed. This is all about the world as opposed to what TR has been going through in the last year or so.
'Cheesy Synths'?... well, it's only cheesy if you don't like that sound, so I guess it will be the last NIN record that Dick listens to.
Most of the record was written on the road, so it's very computer-produced, and you can hear it, but it works for them because of the type of band they are... and the identity & graphics, etc etc. It all works together very very well.
Did all 4 nights at Brixton earlier this year, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Survivalism released Monday, YZ out the folowing Monday. got my 9" collectors box ready to be filled... 2007 gonna be a good year!
No no no! Don't miss this one important point: The songs are voices of different people from the story. Its people talking about it from different points of view. Hence the Capital G one for example. I don't think he's saying non-violence doesn't work. I think you of all people on this board, would probably appreciate the http://www.artisresistance.com concept. Go look there, look at *everything*, then see what you think.

Lyrically I agree that it is much broader with a heavy militant message, but the 'young vs. old' idea has absolutely no foundation. It not young vs old but us vs them. The record is inclusive not exclusive.
I can't wait until this drops, because like TOOL's 10,000 Days I believe Year Zero will have an uncanny run of success in charts etc.
