While Marilyn Manson is running around being creepy and dating a 19-year-old, Trent Reznor is still hunkering down and making good music. With both Nine Inch Nails and Tori Amos releasing new albums, I feel sort of like I'm reliving my high school years, but when it comes to quality hard music, I've always had a soft spot for Reznor.
NIN's Year Zero hits stores today — the band's first album since 2005's With Teeth. Reznor says the album is set about 15 years into the future, when "the world has reached the breaking point — politically, spiritually and ecologically." Though that kind of concept album could easily become pretentious, the first single, "Capital G," is refreshingly straightforward, and the rest of the album, which you can stream over at AOL Music, is similarly mature and somewhat of a return to NIN's roots. So listen to "Capital G" and tell me what you think when you read more

Can NIN put out a BAD song? I love it!!!!! NIN and Tori Amos remind me soooo much of my first few years of college.
1I am still such a loyal NIN fan, its not even a little funny. I am so happy you mentioned this album. The whole album is great btw.
Style Before Comfort!
2Back in high school, I was a HUGE fan of both NIN and Tori, so it's hilarious that you mention that.
I'm kind of over both of them now. This song is pretty good, but I'm not loving it. But every once in a while, I pop in Pretty Hate Machine or Tori's Little Earthquakes and relive my late teen years.
I kind of think that they both blew their loads with their debut albums, but it's awesome that they're still making decent music after all this time.
3love nin yay!
4I love this song. I want this album, their last one was great too, hell, they're all great!
5LOVE the song... can't wait to experience the album!!!
6WOO HOO IT IS FINALLY HERE!!! I am a HUGE NIN fan, have been since late Jr.High...
7Favorite Tori song is Cornflake Girl, dunno why just is
After immersing myself in YZ since it was offered for stream, and then available for purchase, I really it's one of Reznor's best effort's yet. So appropriate for our current political climate, as well.
Art is resistance.
8My prefered artist, along with Tool,

9I haven't had time to carefully listen at the whole new album...and I had trouble really getting into "Survalism" ...I guess it will take time to appreciate this new release...as for now, The Fragile remains TR's best album, a real masterpiece !!
