THE best NIN album thus far!
Jacob S. gave it a9:
Very close to being perfect! Excellent composition on almost every track, and i always seem to notice more details on each listen. Reznor's voice fits the tone of the album perfectly, and especially Vessel, Survivalism, M, I'm Not and The Warning shows and excellent artist on the top of his game. Amazing.
Owen M. gave it an8:
Great effort from Trent. Very catchy album that has tracks both new fans and old fans can enjoy. He creates greats a great story with this album, those who followed the ARG online before the albums release will of course enjoy and understand it more.

With this effort, Mr. Trent Reznor (once a genius) tried to stay in the focus of media. With liberal propaganda, a conceptual album and some "smart" social commentary, Mr. Reznor tries to sound contemporary not invoking his inner demons. Right now, he tries to give some actual opinions on politics, religion and dystopias. But musically this is more of the same. Boring music with some sonic twists and turns that sounds original but not fresh (in the musical agenda of NIN). With two memorable songs ("Gog Given" and "Survivalism"), this album feels like some kind of filler of a great career. But no more.

Amazing.. May be the album of the year.

Terrible. I guess I bought the non-concept version because mine sucks. No immagery, no hooks, very forgetable. I listed to it twice, tried to make it a third time through but got bored. I then popped in 90's NIN, cried a little, because like Nirvana that music will not be created anymore. Trent isnt dead, just his ideas. You can post masterpiece on a canvas smeared with fecal matter and people will buy it. I guess Trent smeared fecal matter on a mixing console and you all bought it.

Words cannot describe how much I love this album. If a single day goes by where I have not listened to at least ONE track from this album, something is probably wrong, or I was away from home with a dead iPod... Lyrically, it's genius; musically, it's a masterpiece. I REALLY hope Trent keeps this pattern: Shifts from angry to satirical to self-questioning and more, all about something relevant in today's world. Easily my favorite NIN album ever, and I really want to see something like this continue in the future. I don't know how these so-called "professionals" are rating it so low, to be honest. It's a genius concept album which details what the world really might be like one day if nothing is done to protect freedoms that are being taken from people with or without their consent. It's a musical masterpiece and a lyrical work that has no comparrison. If they don't like it because they don't like the music, then just say so, don't try to knock the whole idea because of one thing... The only other reason I can possibly see for such low ratings is if they actually LIKE what Year Zero is against...
