Beginning To Solve The Mystery

It’s probably the most adventurous, experimental and ballsy album released on a major label since Green Day’s revelatory American Idiot, which also happens to be its closest kin, in spirit at least. Because for all its growling electronics, squelching guitars and plinking African kalimbas, Year Zero is essentially a punk-rock album, one born of the same bold attitude that drove Green Day to jettison traditional thinking while making Idiot.

But that’s about as far as those comparisons can go. Because there’s no jaunty, nine-minute rock-opera pieces to be found on Zero, nary a ballad on par with “Wake Me Up When September Ends.” Shoot, there are barely any discernable guitars. Instead, almost every sound you hear on the album has been chopped, ripped, pulled, flayed, destroyed, flattened, squeezed or smashed beneath the massive, ominous bit-mapping of Reznor and co-producer Atticus Ross. Sixty-four minutes of disorienting, pummeling Sturm und Drang roiling atop a rumbling, certifiably bone-chilling layer of white noise that recalls the wind whipping through a war zone.

The article is pretty good preview of what’s coming…  Argh!  I need this album now dammit!

Last night’s NiN gig was absolutely fantastic!

The support act, Ladytron, didn’t seem up to much. The music was fairly interesting, but the vocals were almost totally drowned out. Thankfully they were only on stage for 30 mins

Approx 45 minutes later we were treated to a room almost totally full of smoke, the silhouettes of NiN and the start of a blinding set.

I’ve uploaded a selection of the photos I took to my gallery (as usual)

Nin.com has just been updated with track details and a release date for the Beside You In Time live DVD/HD-DVD/Blueray!

I’m really looking forward to this – The HD teaser trailer looks fantastic and may even be another reason to upgrade my TV & Xbox 360 to a HDTV & HD-DVD setup
