www.myspace.com/ninNine Inch Nails, writers, and original artist of the infamous "Closer", and the uber-emo "Hurt" has just released the first single to their new album Year ZeroFrontman Trent Reznor describes Year Zero as a soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist. The record label is implementing a massive promotional campaign, including false sites, secret tapes, and even a "wire tapped" phone convo of a girl getting raped. (note none of this real... it's just promotion) Survivalism has one of the worst vocals i have ever heard and, for some reason... it makes me feel dirty... I dunno... if the album is going to turn out like this song... this might be it for NIN

I'm giving this a single *. It's like someone farted on "The Hand that Feeds" [and that's being wholesome about it], with the vocals from one of Seal's most mediocre filler songs, but engineered to sound harsh and nauseating. The guitar's the only good part of the song, but who cares how good the guitar is when the song makes you want to puke?
The sound engineer for this should be fired.
NIN has gotten in trouble for quite a bit of trouble for their promotional material. Footage for one of their music videos, in which a man gets stabbed (nongraphically though distant) accidentally flew away by hot air balloon or something... and when it was obtained, it was thought to be a real snuff film.

More info regarding the new CD that i got from Live 105
Nine Inch Nails Year Zero Concept Expands Online
The storyline behind the upcoming Nine Inch Nails album, Year Zero, continues to expand online, with the newest web site going live yesterday. The site, art is resistance dot com, provides "resisters," with desktop backgrounds, icons, stickers, and posters. Year Zero, which is coming on April 17th, takes place in the year 2022, when the U.S. has been taken over by a fanatical religious government that may be putting drugs in the nation's water supply while citizens are seeing visions of a giant hand reaching down from the sky that is called "the Presence."
and i thought trent reznor was clean of drugs...
i also noted that on the NIN page that i linked in my first post...
"My Violent Heart" is a leaked single from Year Zero, so listen that as well and tell us what you think of the album so far...

Funny that I was just thinking about that- the concept of somebody making that "fake" movie that the album is supposedly a tie-in for.
