The electronic fueled NIN have taken the world by storm by the releases of their CD's. And after massive success their seventh CD to date "Year Zero" hits CD stands all over the world. The band (now focused on one single member, Trent Rezor) has seemed to lose their awesome edge. "With Teeth" was a fantastic Debut from Nine Inch Nails in '05. The songs were powerful and really thought out. Something this album doesn't seem to continue to prudly represent. Apparently, this CD was based on trent Rezor's view of the United States in 2022. Considerably, everyone cares about the United States to some extent, but why do we have to listen to someone who writes music for a living's prediction on how the American Government will act in 15 years from now. Well, a CD is based on lyrics, not just sound. The lyrics are interesting, but at the same time, they lose focus of the original NIN songs. Over the past two years, we were all left with "Right Where It Belongs" as the last NIN song until this CD's release. Well, fairly enough, that was probably the best we will ever hear from NIN. This CD packs 16 tracks in an hour of good lyrics, but misused beats and no climaxes. But not only this, apparently Rezor has a plan to create a movie based off of this CD (also called "Year Zero"). So you can't help but feel this CD was rushed in order to work oin another project. You sort of get that vibe when you listen to the songs. Each song begins to get a climax, but drops and makes you want to push the > > (fast-forward) button on your CD player, in hopes that the next song will not be as unsuccessful. The problem is, you'll most likely be doing this for 13 or so songs. Considering only about 3 songs on this CD are good. To me, an opinion is not worth putting unless you're trying to warn people. And to an extent, this isn't a warning. It was a message that was written too fast, so it came out sloppy and unattractive to the human ears.
Final Review: C+
Lyrics make songs, but at the same time, the song has to make the lyrics. The best and most quickly rushed thing since Oprah's "The Secret". Which did sell...Sadly...
Best Songs: Capital G, Survivalism, My Violent Heart, God Given
