There’s something about making a decision about an album so quickly after if is released. It’s so easy to change your mind on an album after a few weeks of listening to it. Example – The Mars Volta’s “Deloused in the Comatorium”. Loved it so much, I listened to it non-stop for about 4 months. [...]

Year Zero is a Nine Inch Nails album. There are some subtle surprises for long-time NIN listeners, but this album never leaves any confusion about who it is you are listening too.
