saudApr 15, 2007no words to describe its perfection.

RunDMGApr 18, 2007Too much emphasis being given to its "sonic assaults"! I find it contains some very subtle elements, both in music and lyrics (NIN subtle???) I was worried that the album could not match his courageous efforts and best intentions - glad to report that I was wrong! Best album of the past five years!

MatthewEApr 20, 2007A thoughtful, unique, and most of all... inspiring album by a true artist.

DonovanMMay 4, 2007This albumbs good. I havnt listened to a new albumb this heavily since DeLoused. If you dont like this, go listen to Fall Out Boy, or be scene and listen to indy? Sure its not a 10, nothings perfect, but it leaves every other new albumb behind by miles. This albumb has really good flow, could use a bit more variety, but it makes us for it with awsome songs all throughout.

AviDApr 13, 2007The complete opposite of With Teeth: layer upon layer of electronic goodness. He's writing outside of himself now, and the lyrics are better than ever. Top notch album.

LydiaTApr 13, 2007I'd give this 9.5 out of 10. This is a welcome return to form for this band after the boring 'With Teeth' album. This album sounds fresh and original, and is the first album in a long time that actually managed to surprise me. I have also found it to be an album that gets (even) better with each further listen.

ReneZApr 19, 2007Amazing how Trent releases a largely unique record each release. This album I must admit at first I was disappointed with, but with each listen it is most definetly growing on me.

JeffRApr 17, 2007Album of the year so far. Great concept, great band, and more importantly, great music.

RyanGApr 17, 2007The most solid album since the 1999 release of The Fragile (greatest album of all time). Reznor shows his true talent with his masterful construction and just plain fucking stylish beats.

J.Apr 18, 2007Firmly cements his place as one of our very best artists.

alanlApr 20, 2007"9" because I think there are a couple of trax that could've been left out of the final track list but i think It is a smart political record. Not Reznor's best but the man's got plenty of things to say.

RandeliusWApr 20, 2007Great album. It seems the older guys always fade and can't make something catchy. Not so here. Hopefully Billy Corgan can match/best this effort with Zeitgeist in July.

tomdApr 23, 2007a masterpiece!! brilliant use of noise samples, beautifully crafted album. possibilby his best since "pretty hate machine". he makes the avant-rock and experimental work in a very accessible way. my faith in NIN is restored after being somewhat bored with his last few efforts.

C.Apr 24, 2007Best NIN album since The Downward Spiral. Loud, noisy, angry, and above all, focused.
-
-
shunApr 20, 2007Why do people still want another Downward Spiral?, I would rather see something different. I think this album is certainly more mature, and lyrics are the step forward by his standard. I really enjoy this album, I like its audacity and themes, not to mention some really great music.

BenWApr 30, 2007Don't Compare this one to past NIN albums - it stands alone both in theme and musical genius, seeing a high quality result achieved. 9/10

Make no mistake this is NIN as usual, but [it is] an effortless, inspired, and unaffected Trent Reznor the likes of which we may not have had the pleasure of knowing for almost a decade and a half.
-
Amid its carefully calibrated sonic assaults, Year Zero has a number of tracks that will stop you in yours.
-
Its nihilism can grate, but it makes an impression.
