NIN - Year Zero

[andre07]

What direction do you think this album is headed in comparison w/ with_teeth ???

[Wurby Tictoc]

From what I've heard, it's a lot more minimalist than past albums. It's hard to tell yet if that's a good thing or not.

[Mount_Happy]

So far it sounds like The Fragile mixed in with With Teeth, i like though, Trent always has some good shit up his sleeves.

i found a list of links from my favorite radio station in chicago...i didnt get a chance to look at all of them, but if you have the time and you really wanna get into depth of trent's concept album...look at the first link and work your way down. The first link you may have to wait a minute for everything to load up...a chat room box will pop up, it will take a while for things to start happening so be patient...and read the conversation. Of course Trent was the one who made these websites...just thought i'd like to share. Thanks to Electra for supplying these.

Oh and i almost forgot, from what i hear, so dont quote me on this...is that there are hidden links also...so lurk and you may find something else.

http://www.solutionsbackwardsinitiative.net/pilgrims - This one’s insane. It came from the packaging for the new Beside You In Time DVD. There’s an IRC chat you can read if you hang out long enough. It’s pretty scary… and it explains how we’re getting this information from Year Zero. Time travel… computer data style.


http://www.hollywoodinmemoriam.org - Dirty bombs went off at the 81st Academy Awards. The Kodak Theatre was leveled, and radioactive fallout caused LA to be evacuated. According to the site, this was the work of Islamic extremists. These must have been the “atrocities” that birthed the 105th Airborne. These past Oscars were the 79th, and the website surfaced just as they were happening. Feel that chill?

http://www.artisresistance.com - When you try to view this site, you’ll get a bright red pop-up telling you, basically, to leave. “FREEDOM IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT,” it says. Ignore it. This is a resistance site, and you can download tools to resist through art (i.e. not through violence).

http://www.uswiretap.com/71839J - There’s another website in 2022, run by the Bureau of Morality, that allows users access to wiretapped conversations – “For a Safer America,” it claims. This conversation takes place between a Bureau agent and a police officer. It involves dead people in a club, a lot of them, exactly how they ended up that way, and what happened next. If you’re sharp, you’ll find a phone number. If you’re not easily freaked out, you should call it.

http://www.consolidatedmailsystems.com/nooneimportant - In 2022, there’s an online mail system. As the user “nooneimportant,” you can learn more about another new drug called Opal that everyone seems to be using. Opal’s like cocaine, but it turns your eyes black, and sometimes, users feel a certain Presence…

http://churchofplano.com - Neighborhood Cleansing? The righteous killing the wicked? God vs. the Presence? Yikes.
http://105thairbornecrusaders.com - The sniper used to be part of “the 105th,” he writes, which was a military group formed in response to “the atrocities in Los Angeles.” Learn more about them and what they did for the U.S. government.

http://www.bethehammer.net - A website run by an ex-sniper who’s killed for our government. A huge chunk of it was done in Aurora. After he realized what the government was up to, he started another kind of killing. Looks like some of that work just might have been at the “ballpark.”

http://anotherversionofthetruth.com - The U.S. Bureau of Morality has a message for you! Creepy, right? Hold down your mouse and drag it across the picture on the main page – like you’re scraping off a scratch lottery ticket. There’s a lot more underneath the surface… and a lot of it involves Chicago. I found some creepy audio: look for a hidden link on the Violent Resistance page, and you’ll hear about an act of terrorism at a “ballpark,” near Waveland Avenue… I kid you not. Under Acts of Resistance, there’s even more Chicago stuff, including a warning. Other topics: future drugs, lost loved ones, and talk about the Presence.

http://iamtryingtobelieve.com - In 2022, the U.S. Government is putting something called Parepin in the water. They claim it boosts the immune system and is a tool in the fight against biological terrorism. But is that really the case? Because it sure seems like it’s having some scary side effects…

http://www.symphonyofnoise.com/nails/yearzero - This site links to all the songs that have leaked so far as well as all the Year Zero-related websites.

http://yearzero.nin.com - Watch the official Year Zero trailer, see the tracklisting, and check out hidden pics of Trent at work. What’s that menacing hand reaching out of the sky in the trailer? You’ll have to dig a little deeper to find out.
