nine inch pales
everyone was up in arms when the new tracks from the latest Nine Inch Nails offering Year Zero started showing up on USB drives in foreign bathrooms during shows. let's be honest, these tracks should have stayed as close to the toilet as possible so they could be shat on after the first listen.
i'm not going to bore you with a full-blown review. but i will tell you that My Violent Heart is basically the same song as Only but with different, quasi-political lyrics. i wouldn't even recommend listening to it to see if i'm right about how awful it is. not only that, but apparently this album is based on Orwell's 1984, so any claim that this is thought-provoking or creative is bullshit. if he's going to base a concept album on a book he didn't write, i bet i can make a career selling photographs of masterpiece paintings such as the Mona Lisa. if you bought Year Zero, surely i can interest you in a snapshot of Van Gogh's Sunflowers, which i did not paint but i have a reproduction of.
i just cannot deal with this man and his savage posturing, rich-boy depression, and bullshit sobriety because he's obviously huffing dust-off while smoking crack on E if he's releasing this shit.

it's good. deal with it.
good? look, here's how it goes. this album is ONLY better than With Teeth and that says NOTHING. sure, the studio quality might be good, but nothing here rules to me, at all.
please tell me which track even validates this album as anything other than a piece of bullshit and i will try my hardest to understand your vague, manly ways.
it's excellent as a complete work. it's what the Fragile tried to be and failed. this is the first NIN album i've listened to all the way through repeatedly since 1995.
lyrically...recycled drivel, but i've never expected much from him.
i take the dick clark approach..."it's got a good beat, and i can dance to it..."
see, this is exactly how i know i definitely hate Year Zero - i thought The Fragile was his best work and the rest is just stretching. and frankly, i don't want to dance to NIN. i have Girl Talk for that.
well i didn't literally mean i could dance to it. i meant that it's pleasing to the ears. the Fragile had it's moments but was overboard, pompous, and a bit disjointed.
It's what the Fragile tried to be and failed?!?!?! YEAR ZERO is the album that we are talking about right???? Blasphemy. Pure and total blasphemy.
