Nine Inch Nails' new album, Year Zero, is set for release on April 17, and will be the first of two concept albums, the later to be released in 2008. The first single from Year Zero, the track "Survivalism", will hit the radiowaves on the 27th of Feb, with an add date of March 6. The video for Survivalism was filmed last week in Los Angeles, and Trent Reznor has described Year Zero in an interview with Kerrang! Magazine as "a collage of sound type of thing, not heavy in a metal guitar kind of way.", adding "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." On Year Zero being a concept album, he said that the record is "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."

The tracklisting for Year Zero is:

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

Yeah, Trent, hats off, you minimalist retard. Doesn't he have to make six or seven more random releases before he's slated for another full-length? Like a [with_teeth] remix album, and then a re-remix of the remix album, and then five different maxi-single versions of the same goddamned song, and then a new EP and then a remix of that EP, a movie soundtrack, a double live album, a DVD of the live album, and then more differently-tracked maxi-singles. What is it on now, Halo 281?

I'm a big fan of all of Trents work but "With Teeth", that was a tremendous let down.

Crawfords right though, Trent is as much a buisnessman as a muscian it can be a bit distracting. All the live and remixed stuff is excessive.

Yeah, I saw it. The url is http://www.trentswalletdoesntfitinhispocketanymore.com/imadumbass/ibuylamemusic/ithinkimstillinhighschool/imretarded/halo281.html. The story is Trent is in his garage, right? And he's rockin' out to Ministry's Psalm 69 album, dancing around in his Mom's underwear, jacking off his dog to the music, because that's how he unwinds after a long, hard day of remixing his own sh** over and over and rootin' around in Marilyn Manson's garbage. He's got his make-up on and his blonde wig, and he's all set to party, just him and his Golden Labrador, Rufus. When suddenly, he decides that he's been being a little wasteful, what, with letting his dog's clenched testicles fire his semen all over the garage floor, so he decides to take a great big mouthful of his f***ing dog's hot, chunky sperm, and, much like a fountain, he spits it into the air, and before it hits the ground, he spins around, lifts his skirt, and opens his tired, leathery a$$hole, so that the canine jizz goes right in and drowns the hamster. That's the story of the new album.

Ummmm.... no, CrawfordTexasJingoJango. I don't think that's it. I believe the dog's name is Sparky.
