Reznor Reveals NIN's 'Year Zero' Tracklist

Nine Inch Nail Trent Reznor has unveiled the tracklist and revealed further details about his forthcoming Nails' Disc, Year Zero, out April 17th.

Reznor recently discussed the details regarding Zero in an interview with UK mag Kerrang!.

"[The album is] not heavy in any kind of metal type sense, I'd say a big inspiration sonically would be early Public Enemy records, a collage of sound type of thing, not heavy in a metal guitar kind of way."

"With this record I feel a lot less concerned about what people think about it � especially the dying record industry. I couldn't care less about that right now.

The frontman also confirmed that, as per usual, the record was mostly recorded by himself and that Zero is a concept album of sorts.

"It's all me, mostly recorded in hotel rooms around the world on laptops. There maybe some surprise vocalists that pop up here and there - although I don't want to say who since the final mix hasn't been determined yet, and Josh Freese is playing the drums on one song, but it's not like a big guest star-type record. It feels a bit more focused in a certain direction than 'With Teeth' did. I'm trying to avoid getting too detailed about this but I will tell you that this is a concept record, and it's part of a bigger picture of a number of things I'm working on. Essentially I wrote the soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist"

Ah, the ol' concept record. Isn't every other NIN release a concept record? My Guess on concept? It's likely political in nature with a title like Year Zero, and song titles like "The Good Soldier", "Another Version of the Truth" and "The Great Destroyer." -ED.

Reznor & Co. filmed the video for the likely first single, "Survivalism", in Los Angeles last week and, as previously reported, Nine Inch Nails will release a live DVD, Beside You In Time, on February 27th.

Year Zero Tracklist:

01. Hyperpower!
02. The Beginning of the End
03. Survivalism
04. The Good Soldier
05. Vessel
06. Me, I'm Not
07. Capital G
08. My Violent Heart
09. The Warning
10. God Given
11. Meet Your Master
12. The Greater Good
13. The Great Destroyer
14. Another Version of the Truth
15. In This Twilight
16. Zero-Sum

Hyperpower! is an awesome name for a song. God dammit. Why do all the other musicians take all the cool names, leaving me to imitate?

Oh wait, that's called unoriginality. Fuck.

Well, anyway, could be pretty good. I'll most likely buy it just to buy it.

I want to travel around recording my albums in hotel rooms on a laptop, damn it.

Actually, being able to sell albums I've recorded on a laptop anywhere would suffice.

I wonder what the people next door thought when it came time for the vocals...

it's a little hard to gush happily about the new album after watching that PETA vid. i'm guessing the posters above me spared themselves that.

Will "Year Zero" be Trent's "Metal Machine Music"?

I dont know what "mid 80's" your refering to since Prett yhate Machine was released in October of 1989, but hey your history I guess is as good as mine.

at any rate...

I really don't know how I feel about good old clean and sober Trent. Perhaps he's trying to change the world he so lovingly gave the finger to many years ago. Or even better are we gearing up for a spiritual NIN album?

They say every successful music icon finds God at some point - i can't wait for that to happen to Mr. Reznor - it 'd be a great hipocrisy indeed.

And don't get me started on PETA - any organization founded on the principal that the life of a rat is more valuable than a human being (or at least of equal) has a bit more to learn about the natural order of things.

I wish we had more natural predators - then organizations like PETA wouldn't need to try and prove how cute and fuzzy the creatures of the world are ... if they were trying to eat us.

I guess I did get started on PETA.

Well honestly not to sound like a raging jerk but what do people in america not wearing fur have to do with the inhumane fur trade in China?

Hmmmm...

And further more - since when has the Chinese Government listened to what ANYone has to say about ethical treatment of ANYthing.

Hmmmm.... PETA's reaching here.

Pretty Hate Machine was released in 1989, but Reznor was working on NIN a little before that. Although, I wouldn't go so far as to say MID-eighties. The early Demos of PHM songs sound much more 80's inspired (almost depeche mode like) than what got released.
