Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

Anyone get the CD? I just read that the CD is thermal reactive, that when you get the CD it is Black, but then after you play it and take it back out it is White.

The thermal effect on the disc is to hide binary code, which leads the curious to a website that furthers the whole 1984-government out of control theme. There's a long write-up on Wikipedia about it, complete with links.

Solid album, a nice departure, and entirely experimental I feel. I read he described it as a soundtrack for a movie that hasn't been written or filmed, and I can understand that.

He clearly put a lot into this one, and it's interesting to see where his music has gone without pain and rage. Like most others, I still think the anger of PHM and Broken mark some of his best work -- but happy go-lucky mountain bike enthusiast Reznor is still putting out some pretty compelling and original stuff, i think.

Unbelievable album IMO. His best since "The Downward Spiral".

I have read that they now may do a movie for this record.
Also, this is only part 1 of the story. Part 2 should hit the shelves next year. Reznor has also announced a remix album will be coming out soon.

Pretty Hate Machine is a GREAT album. For me, it doesn't get any better than their EP, Broken.

Same here. "Broken" is 30 minutes of the loudest, most intense and most angry music I've ever heard. All NIN's CD's are great in their own way though.

Has anyone ever seen the 20 minute video (or mini movie) for "Broken." I actually saw the video today after reading about it online, and holy sh*t is about all I can come up with. Easily the most disturbing music video I've ever witnessed.

I've heard/read about it. I have absolutely no interest in seeing it. I don't want to have to picture those images every time I listen to Broken.

Yep, it is the creepiest fucking thing that I have ever watched.
