On his 2007 full-length studio follow-up to WITH TEETH, Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor steps away from the relatively straight-ahead rock aesthetic of that record, opting instead for an intentionally abrasive sound lined with sharp shards of noise and static. Tied together by an enigmatic, X-FILES-like concept involving an apocalyptic scenario, YEAR ZERO is marked by tell-tale tracks such as "Survivalism," a fierce number that harkens back to THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL, and "In This Twilight," a bleak, distortion-filled song.

Reportedly influenced by the Bomb Squad's spare, hard-hitting production on vintage Public Enemy releases (a point driven home by the stark, stuttering "My Violent Heart"), ZERO also reveals that Reznor picked up a few experimental tricks from tour-mates TV on the Radio, as best exemplified by the guitar squalls of the aforementioned "Survivalism." Less personal and more cinematic than preceding outings, YEAR ZERO is arguably NIN's least-accessible album, and proves that Reznor hasn't abandoned his SPIRAL-era post as a sonic agitator who has infiltrated the mainstream.Rolling Stone (p.111) - Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Top Albums of the Year 2007".
Entertainment Weekly (p.61) - "[H]e drives his messages home with the whisper-to-a-scream vocal melodrama and the most chaotically catchy tunes he and his arsenal of machines can generate."
Alternative Press (p.158) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "For YEAR ZERO, Nine Inch Nails chairman Trent Reznor sets his machinery on 'kill' and points it toward authority and herd mentality, dicing up guitars and laptops synths like an Enron paper trail."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.70) - Ranked #8 in Kerrang's "The Top 20 Albums Of 2007" -- "[A] spectacular, chilling record..."

4 stars More Than A CD
Reznor really drags you in this oppressive, apocalyptic universe. Songs like Meet you master and Capital G are very pop-influenced, but The Greater Good and In This Twilight really show the genius of Trent Reznor. Buy it. Buy it now.

3 stars Not very impressed.
Yeah, Trent said this is a concept album; The Fragile was a concept album too, and is one of the best works to date, but Year Zero simply doesn't reach that level of perfection. It is still NIN, but very pop influenced.

3 stars Overall? Good!
This was a great album, but mabey not quite as good as The Fragile or The Downward Spiral. It is very electronical and kinda goes in a different direction than some of NINs other albums. My favorites are God Given, Capital G, The Good Soldiar, and Meet Your Master. I was reluctant to get this album but give it a chance; it'll grow on you!

5 stars Bad first impression, first impressions are lies
I think this scared a lot of old school NIN fans. I think it stands out wholly from the rest. It is less personally neurotic and more satirical, aggressive and powerful. I was also hesitant with this album, but after a couple of listens I might actually deem this with the title of best album. The thought Reznor put into not just the plain album, but the whole story, is amazing. Even if you listen to just the music, and don't get into the story, I think you would feel empowered to kill the system.
