What are your first takes on this now that it is official?

I think it sounds more like a remix EP than a NIN album.

Lyrically it is very focused

Sound was typical NIN textures, with a lot more electronica. Somtimes it sounds great, but other times it sounds more lke noise. The layers of sounds coming out is phenominal though.



Personally I miss the guitar driven days or Broken

overall I have found it a decent album, not overly thrilled with it, but nothing bad either. 3/5

    I really like this album, it has quickly become my favorite.

    I think I'm going to go ahead and place this in front of the new Fall Out Boy as my favorite album of the year so far.

    Not sure how I feel about Year Zero. I've only been through it once so far...pretty dense and I'm not crazy about the vocals. Seems long on concept and short on songs. Definitely need a few more listens since nothing really stood out initially.

    This album is too good. Got to be my fav of the year.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    I liked the album a lot... it does sound more like a remix album, but it is blowing me away. I'm still letting it sink in.

    It has great lyrics....

    My wife said "The Beginning of the End" starts like "My Sharona"...

    What do the lyrics to "Capital G" mean?

    The video for Survivalism is pretty good. Uncensored on NIN.com

    no one has mentioned the heat sensitive disc yet? or did everyone just download the album?

    It's the coolest thing since color changing hot-wheels!!!

    I hope that part about listening to Fall Out Boy is a joke, fans of them should not be allowed to listen to NIN.

    how about a NIN fan listening to FOB? Would that be a loophole?

    Good audio review on NPR ... it's almost more cool that it's accompanied by the music ...

    but i have to admit it is actually more interesting listening to the guy giving the review with the music in the background. fall out boy still sucks.

    and i am also admitting that i admire trent reznor's idea of revisiting the old sounds of industrial rock. i kinda do like that. but still i hate nine inch nails.

    Tracks 2, 5, 12, & 15 are ok, but the rest of the album is very disappointing.
