Year Zero ~ NIN

Stercesderised	Date: April 24, 2007 @ 2:19 PM first, I'll post a quote from Reznor I love: "The USB drive was simply a mechanism of leaking the music and data we wanted out there. The medium of the CD is outdated and irrelevant. It's really painfully obvious what people want — DRM-free music they can do what they want with. If the greedy record industry would embrace that concept I truly think people would pay for music and consume more of it. ~ Trent Reznor, commenting on his leaking the new concept album Year Zero, on USB drives left in random bathrooms in Europe" I'll follow this up with a plug for this concept album, it's amazing. If you're interested in checking out what it's about, take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_%28album%29

ChillinBuzz	Date: April 24, 2007 @ 5:45 PM It's on my shopping list, I heard a pirate version of it earlier gotta say it's sounding pretty good. Wish the bugger had left it in MY bathroom... er...
NickSawyer	Date: April 24, 2007 @ 8:13 PM I'm a pirate that got it early online before it was released. Looks like the leak worked for at least a few, on at least one evil ( ) link
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 25, 2007 @ 1:38 AM I will admit, NickSawyer, that I copied the link you shouted me before asking you to remove it but I had seen other links doing the rounds already. I figured what the hell, let's have a listen... and it's paid off as I shall be buying this album.
NickSawyer	Date: April 25, 2007 @ 8:21 AM Well, that is technically the right thing to do
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 25, 2007 @ 4:27 PM Well, not according to the law as it stands but in terms of previewing, try before you buy & all that, then it most definitely is right.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: April 25, 2007 @ 4:33 PM The whole 'pirate' thing was deliberately engineered by Reznor, deliberately leaving USB drives around (and people said he left rough mixes of the album tracks on CDs too in the studio, if you believe the hype, a pre - pre pirate release !!) pretty genius marketing ploy actually, he probably saw that episode of CSI where Kid Rock guest appeared as a musician who used his entourage to do the same to create a buzz.

pog	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 9:41 AM There appears to be a whole lot more controversy over this new album. It's cryptic, and also hard to figure out if it's an elaborate hoax. I personally think a hell of a lot of work has gone into the release, and it's not just the leaked thumbdrives. http://www.ninwiki.com/Main_Page What do you guys think? I am trying to believe
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 10:06 AM damn... that's gotta be one of the most complex and twisted promotions i've ever seen... or not, officially
Stercesderised	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 9:36 AM It's the parepin in the water man. Quite drinking the city water.... I don't think it's an elaborate hoax at all. Trent Reznor has been singing music about control, false belief, manipulation, etc for awhile. Now, given his comments about how appaled he is by Bush's behavior (as he is exposed more and more), has given him somewhat of an apocalyptic vision, which he has joined with his dystopian vision (another note, he loves george orwell....march of the pigs anyone ). What I'm interested in seeing is, how many more pieces of this promotion have yet to be discovered. The album clearly highlights specific words, and I haven't (and probably won't) have the time to try and figure out if that means anything. I'm sure someone will though (like the T-shirt catch ).
